I would like to request once again: Please add the instant replay and recording features to the Inte

Please add the instant replay and recording features to the Intel graphics driver. Both NVIDIA and AMD graphics drivers have these features built-in.

The previous response from an official representative explained that this feature was once available but was removed due to low user adoption. They recommended that I use OBS or Windows built-in recording. However, I would argue that there is no need to remove a useful function just because a small number of users use it. Even if it takes up a bit of memory, it should not be cut. Let me address the official's suggestions:

1. OBS has a steep learning curve: It is not suitable for some non-professional users and is quite cumbersome to use. Having built-in recording and instant replay in the graphics driver is far more convenient.
2. Windows built-in recording lacks advanced encoding: It can only use the default H.264 encoder and cannot leverage the advantages of the AV1 encoder that Intel graphics cards support.
3. Steam recording has high resource usage: Also, not everyone plays Steam games.

I sincerely urge the technical team at Intel to re-add these essential features: instant replay and in-game recording. I believe this is important not just for me, but for many other users as well.

Thank you again for your attention to this matter.

Hello zy666,

Thank you for posting this in our community forum. I genuinely appreciate how clearly you’ve laid out your points—especially regarding the advantages of AV1 encoding and the fact that not everyone wants the complexity of a tool like OBS. Your perspective on why a built-in solution is more convenient for everyday users makes a lot of sense.

To be transparent with you, Intel made the tough decision to retire the "Studio" page and its recording features from our software for the time being. This move was primarily driven by data showing very low usage across our broader user base, alongside the fact that many users had already transitioned to third-party tools like Steam or Windows Game Bar.

That said, we definitely hear you. While these features aren't part of the current software version, we haven't ruled them out forever. We keep a close eye on community demand, and feedback like yours is exactly what helps us decide what to prioritize in future updates.

I’ll make sure to share your specific points about AV1 support and ease-of-use with our development team so they know the demand is there.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and for being part of the community.

Best regards,

VivekS
