Hi there! The short answer is no—you don’t necessarily have to stream live to use Eklipse’s AI clipping features!

Whether you are a full-time streamer or an offline gamer who just likes to record their matches, we have a workflow that fits your needs. Here is how both options work:

1. If You Stream (Automatic Clipping) #

• When you connect your Twitch, Kick, YouTube, or Facebook account to Eklipse, our system automatically detects when you go live.
• Once your stream ends, the AI automatically pulls the VOD and processes it into highlights.
• This is the absolute easiest, hands-off way to generate clips!

2. If You Don’t Stream (Manual Upload) #

• If you record your gameplay locally using software like OBS, ShadowPlay, or capture cards, you can still use our AI!
• You can make clips by manually uploading your own videos (gameplay recordings, podcast episodes, etc.).
• Just go to your main Eklipse dashboard → Uploads → Upload Video, and the AI will process your file to create highlights exactly like it does for a stream.

So no—you don’t have to stream! However, connecting a streaming account does make the clipping process faster and fully automatic.
