Console stream
No capture card
Clipped from your stream in the cloud, not on the console
All you need is your stream link
If your console can get a stream onto Twitch or YouTube, Eklipse can clip it. Xbox and PS5 do that on their own. Switch needs a capture route to stream at all, and Eklipse adds nothing on top of it.
Stream from your console
Go live from the console. PS5 broadcasts to Twitch and YouTube from the Create button. Xbox Series X|S streams to Twitch through the console's Twitch app. Switch streams through a capture card or PC, as covered in this Switch streaming guide.
Connect the channel once
Link that Twitch or YouTube channel to Eklipse in one click. It is the only setup step, and you do it once. After that, Eklipse picks up each stream you finish.
Clips appear on their own
Eklipse reads the stream recording, runs AI Highlights over the whole session, and drops a ranked list of clips in your library, each reframed to 9:16 and captioned.
Post from your phone
Review and send clips to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from the mobile app, or let Content Agent queue your top picks and post them once you approve. The console never gets involved.
Clipping software a console can actually use
Consoles won't run editing software or clipping plugins. Eklipse sidesteps that by working from your stream on its own servers, not from the console.
No capture card on Xbox or PS5
The usual console-clipping setup is a capture card feeding a second PC. On Xbox and PS5 you can skip all of it, because Eklipse clips the stream the console already sends to Twitch or YouTube. Nothing to buy, nothing to wire up.
Nothing installed on the console
You cannot install clipping apps on an Xbox, PS5, or Switch, and you do not need to. Eklipse runs in the cloud, so the console keeps doing the one job it already does: stream the game.
Finds the plays for you
The AI reads the gameplay, not just the mic, so a quiet ranked clutch gets clipped the same as a loud win. It knows what a highlight looks like in 3,000+ games. This is the AI Highlights engine.
Vertical, captioned, ready to post
Each clip comes back reframed to 9:16 with the crop tracking the action, and captions transcribed and timed in the same pass. Tweak any of it in AI Edit, or post it as-is.
Zero load on your game
Detection and rendering run on Eklipse's servers after the stream, so clipping never costs you a frame while you play. Console storage stays untouched.
Same clipping on every console
Once the stream reaches Twitch or YouTube, Eklipse treats Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Switch footage the same way. The difference between consoles is only how the stream gets out, which the PS5 and Xbox streaming guide walks through.
Skip the capture-card rig on Xbox and PS5
The traditional way to clip console gameplay is a capture card feeding a second PC running editing software. It costs money, it takes setup every session, and you still clip by hand at the end of it.
Capture card + PC setup
- Buy a capture card and a PC to run it
- Wire the console through it before every session
- Install and learn desktop editing software
- Hit a button and crop every clip by hand
- The quiet plays you forgot to mark are gone
Eklipse console clipping
- No capture card or second machine on Xbox and PS5
- Stream to Twitch or YouTube like normal
- The whole stream is scanned, nothing is missed
- Clips come back vertical, captioned, and ranked
- Posting to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from the app

Clips the games console players actually stream
Detection is tuned per category, because a Warzone win and a GTA heist do not peak on the same cues. Pick your game and Eklipse already knows what a highlight looks like there.
Go live to Twitch from the Xbox Twitch app and Eklipse clips it. No capture card, no Elgato, no second PC. The Xbox handles the stream, Eklipse handles the clips.
PlayStation's built-in broadcast to Twitch or YouTube is all you need. Go live, connect the channel once, and your ranked plays come back as vertical clips ready for Shorts and Reels.
Switch has no built-in broadcast, so the stream itself goes out through a capture card or PC. Once it lands on Twitch or YouTube, Eklipse clips it the same as any other stream, with no extra software in the chain.
Rather not dig through a clip library? Content Agent queues your best clips after each stream and posts them when you approve, or schedule clips yourself in Content Planner.

Streamers who stopped clipping by hand
Real reviews from streamers using Eklipse on web and mobile.
“They are really making my job as a streamer easier, I don’t have to stop playing to clip something, it’s just automatically clipped.”
“This is a great app! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do… after I did a stream it took about an hour or less to make 43 clips. One of the first apps I’ve found that has actually worked.”
“Eklipse has clipped many vids that I’d never thought of clipping myself.”
“I just started streaming and didn’t know the first thing about video editing. Eklipse makes it so easy. You just link your Twitch or YouTube, and it pulls the clips for you.”
“I love Eklipse. It works really well and captures moments when you laugh or say certain keywords. I love the edits too. I used to use Streamladder, but I’ve been loving Eklipse.”
“Well worth the subscription. Cuts down time editing, and they are always adding games.”

What console clipping connects to
Eklipse finds and cuts the moments from your console stream. These are the parts that finish and post them.
AI Highlights
The detection engine underneath. It reads the game to decide what counts as a highlight, which is why quiet plays get caught too.

The mostly hands-off version. It picks your top clips after each stream and posts them to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels on your approval.

TikTok workflowConsole clipping FAQ
How do I clip console gameplay without a capture card?
On Xbox or PS5, stream to Twitch (or YouTube on PS5) straight from the console, then connect that channel to Eklipse once. Eklipse clips the stream on its own servers, so there is no capture card, no second PC, and nothing installed on the console. Your best plays come back as ranked vertical clips.
Does Eklipse work on Xbox, PS5, and Nintendo Switch?
Yes, on any console whose gameplay reaches Twitch or YouTube. PS5 broadcasts to both natively, and Xbox Series X|S streams to Twitch through its Twitch app. Switch has no built-in broadcast, so Switch streamers need a capture card or PC to go live; after that, Eklipse clips the stream the same way.
Do I need to install anything on my console?
No. Consoles don't allow clipping apps or editing software, and you don't need them. Eklipse runs in the cloud and works from the stream you already broadcast, so the console just keeps doing what it does.
Is Eklipse console clipping free?
Creating an account costs nothing and takes one click through Twitch or Google. The product itself is paid: Premium is $24.99 month to month or $179.99 a year, with no zero-cost tier. What is free is the set of standalone browser tools, which need no account and no card.
Will it catch plays I didn't clip myself?
Yes, that is the point of it. The AI scans the whole stream and reads the gameplay, not just your mic, so a quiet ranked clutch gets clipped the same as a loud win. You never press a button mid-match.
Do the clips come out ready for TikTok and Shorts?
Yes. Each clip is reframed to 9:16 with the crop tracking the action, and captions are transcribed and timed in the same pass. Post as-is, adjust anything first in AI Edit, or publish to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from inside Eklipse.
Which console games does it clip?
More than 3,000 games, with detection tuned per category. That covers the titles console players stream most, including Call of Duty, Fortnite, GTA V, EA FC, Minecraft, and Rocket League. There are game-by-game guides in the use-case library.
Can the clipping and posting be automatic?
Clipping is fully automatic. For posting, hand the loop to Content Agent, which queues your top clips after each stream and posts them to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels once you approve, or schedule them yourself in Content Planner.
Clip your console without the hardware
Connect the channel you already stream to and put your last console session through it. The clips you would have missed show up on their own.
