Key takeaways
  • eFootball uses full session recording, so friendlies, event matches and Dream Team games stay in one video until you close the game.
  • Skipping the in game replay does not matter; press the clip save shortcut right after a goal to keep the last 30 seconds as its own clip.
  • Stitch a season of goals with AI Highlight, cut a 9:16 goal Short in DOR Studio and share it with a dor.gg link.

eFootball records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI handles it. You never have to press a record button before a match or draw a capture area. As soon as the eFootball title screen appears, DOR starts recording and keeps friendlies, event matches and Dream Team games alike in one video from kick off to the final whistle. When you close the game, the recording stops. Skip the in game replay after a goal as often as you like, because the live play is already in the recording, so there is no replay to save. This guide is for playing eFootball on PC and walks through installing DOR, saving goals, finding friendly match banter, building a season goal reel and goal Shorts, sharing a link, and high refresh settings and fixes.

  • Keep friendlies, event matches and Dream Team games in one eFootball video, even when you play them back to back.
  • Save a free kick curled over the wall or a stoppage time winner as a clip, whether or not you watched the replay.
  • Use AI Voice Notes to find the moment someone said "That's free kick range, curling it" and jump to that goal.
  • Combine a free kick, a one two counter from halfway and a keeper winning the 1v1 into one season goal reel.
  • Cut the moment the net ripples into a 9:16 goal Short and send it to your group chat with a dor.gg link.

Before you record eFootball: install and recording mode

DOR records the Windows PC version of eFootball that you launch through Steam. DOR is a free Windows app and never puts a watermark on your videos, so nothing sits over the net when you post a goal Short. It uses full session recording: the file is not split at the end of each match, and a whole night of games stays in one video until you close the game. It runs separately from the in game replay feature, so whether you watch the replay or skip it, the live play is in the recording. To see how detection and recording work in general, read how DOR records games automatically. The table below covers what to check before your first recording.

Record eFootball with DOR: step by step

  1. 1Install DORDownload and install DOR. It takes about a minute and is free. Leave DOR running once it is installed, and there is nothing else to prepare even on days when a new event match opens.
  2. 2Launch eFootballStart eFootball from Steam. DOR begins recording when the title screen appears, so menus and squad management screens at the start of the video are normal.
  3. 3Check that recording is runningBefore the first kick off, glance at the DOR app once to confirm recording is in progress. If the game is not picked up, follow what to do when the recorder does not detect your game. After that, play your matches as usual.
  4. 4Save the clip right after the goalWhen a free kick bends over the wall into the net or a stoppage time winner goes in, press the clip save shortcut as the celebration starts. The last 30 seconds are saved as a separate clip, so you can skip the in game replay without a second thought.
  5. 5Close the game and open My ClipsOnce the final whistle of your last match blows, close the game. The full session video and every clip you saved appear together in My Clips in the DOR app.

Find your recordings

Your match recordings are kept in My Clips in the DOR app, also called the library. Each time you open and close eFootball becomes one session, and goals you saved during matches show up as separate clips. To find a specific match inside a long session, use the walkout just before kick off and the results screen after full time as landmarks, and you can split the recording match by match. Within a match, the clock and score at the top of the screen let you go straight to a memory like "the equalizer around the 80th minute". Set a start and an end point to trim the part you need, then export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Trimming tips are in how to trim game clips. Like the videos you want to keep, such as a match you won on penalties. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first, so liked ones stay put.

Save the moments you want to keep

Even with the whole match recorded, saving goals as clips on the spot makes them much easier to find. Press the clip save shortcut and the last stretch of gameplay is saved as a clip. The default length is 30 seconds, and you can choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds in settings. In eFootball, good times to press it are right after a direct free kick goes in, right after you finish a one two counter from halfway, right after your keeper wins a 1v1, and right after a corner header levels the score. A free kick or a save fits in 15 seconds, but a counter that starts at halfway needs 30 seconds or more to show the build up, and a penalty shootout fits better at 60 seconds so the last taker is included. To pick the right length for each kind of moment, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

Friendlies with friends come with nonstop trash talk and groans. Lines like "Counter, play the one two in behind", "That's free kick range, curling it", "How did the keeper save that" and "One minute of stoppage, just cross it". DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes the banter onto the recording timeline like live text commentary. The line you blurted out right before the winner sits next to that goal, so searching the timeline text for "curling" and selecting it takes you straight to that free kick. If your own voice sounds quiet, check your input device with recording games with mic audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

To gather a season of goals into one video, use AI Highlight. In the library, check the free kick over the wall, the one two counter from halfway, the keeper winning the 1v1, the corner header equalizer and the stoppage time screamer, then select AI Highlight. Goals from different matches join into one goal reel. Put the last penalty in the shootout at the very end for a clean finish. If you would rather set the clip order yourself, see how to merge game clips.

Edit in DOR Studio

DOR Studio opens in your browser with nothing to install. Trim the start of the build up, add a punch zoom on the frame where the ball hits the net and lay a stadium style background track underneath, and you have a goal Short. Try a shake zoom on long range shots and a glitch transition between goals, or put text like "stoppage time winner" on screen. Export a single goal as a 9:16 Short and a season reel in 16:9 so the whole pitch is visible. Framing tips for vertical video are in recording games for vertical Shorts. When you are done, download an mp4 or share it as a link straight away.

Share with a dor.gg link

Send trimmed goals as dor.gg links. Whoever opens the link plays the video right in the browser without installing anything, so it is easy to send the winner to the friend you just beat in a friendly or drop a free kick in your Discord server. Goal Shorts also go down well in a group chat of friends who support the same club. Tips on finding free kicks and late winners in a recording are in sharing eFootball goal videos, and posting to Discord is covered in sharing clips on Discord.

eFootball recommended settings and troubleshooting

If you play eFootball at 144 or 240Hz, a recommended spec GPU lets you keep that high refresh rate while recording. The game's frame rate is set in eFootball and the recording frame rate is set in DOR, so the two do not interfere with each other. Recording runs at 1080p and 30fps by default; switch to 60fps if you want fast counters and dribbles to look smoother. DOR uses GPU hardware encoding, so its effect on your frame rate during matches is small. If frames still wobble, drop recording to 720p/30fps mode, and if the stutter only happens while recording, start with fixing FPS drops while recording. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless all record, and where anti cheat blocks game capture, DOR switches to monitor capture. DOR has no cheat features and never touches your game files or play data.
