Amazon has launched a brand new service that allows mobile gamers to share in-game recordings from their favorite titles.

Dubbed GameOn, the new service allows mobile gamers upload their clips as well as access a range of other cool features.

What Is Amazon GameOn?

If you are a mobile gamer, you could be forgiven for feeling a bit left out when it comes to broadcasting your gameplay.

Up to now, the only real options available were screen recorder apps. These aren't the best for mobile gaming as they often place controls onto the screen they are recording, which also then form part of the recording.

In addition to this, the quality of screen recordings tends not to be very good, either. You don't really want to lose face in the gaming community by posting blocky screen recordings.

What you need is a dedicated app for recording and sharing your footage. Well, fortunately for you, Amazon has developed an app for recording and sharing your mobile gameplay. It's called GameOn and it's available for Android right now.

The application affords you several methods of sharing your recordings. Not only that, but there are some nice additional features, too.

How Does Amazon GameOn Work?

There are several ways you can record in-game footage using Amazon GameOn. They both achieve the same end result, but the methods of implementing them are different.

Firstly, you can record clips manually, as they happen. If you see that you are about to perform an action that is well worth recording, then you just tap record, and off you go.

This probably isn't the best method if you are playing fast-paced games where the action can change at any moment, such as PUBG for example (which Amazon GameOn supports).

In this case, the app has a cool feature called Recall. With Recall, you can ask the app to save footage after an event has taken place.

So, say you just pulled off an epic headshot in PUBG. You want to keep that for posterity, so you hit the Recall button and the app will save the video. You can select recording lengths between five and 30 minutes.

What Other Features Does Amazon GameOn Have?

Well, as it is built around a community, one of the first things you will notice is that it has challenges and leaderboards. This way you can compete with people not just in-game, but in GameOn's own leagues.

You also have plenty of editing functions. You can do all the usual things involved in video editing, like shorten clips and such. However, there is also the option to record 30-second intros and outros for your videos, giving them a professional touch.

Amazon's GameOn sounds like an excellent service if you are a hardcore mobile gamer. This platform is designed just for you, so everyone in the community is going to be someone who plays games on their phone or tablet.

It remains to be seen exactly how popular GameOn actually is. Especially with the combination of Microsoft's GamePass and xCloud on mobile devices. However, if you want to record mobile gaming videos, then GameOn is a great option right now.
