Abstract
Active gameplay of a video game on a computer gaming device is overseen by a platform-level in-game recording companion that executes separately from any of a plurality of different video games. During active gameplay of the video game, the active gameplay is continuously and automatically buffered to a temporary storage buffer. During active gameplay the computer gaming device receives a command to save a segment of the active gameplay for subsequent viewing. Without interrupting the active gameplay, the segment of the active gameplay is saved from the temporary storage buffer to a library of the platform-level in-game recording companion.
