How to Record Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel with DOR: Official Guide (2026)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel records automatically once DOR is installed: launch the game and the AI handles the rest. Recording is already running before the coin toss decides who goes first, so a full ranked grind is covered, from the hand trap war on turn one to the OTK that ends it. You never need to clear out in game replay slots or note down replay IDs, because every duel is saved as video and you can show that combo to your deckbuilding friends right away. This guide takes you through recording Master Duel in order: installing DOR, checking that recording is running, clipping combo turns, finding duels in a long recording, building a deck profile video and sharing links.

• Keep any number of ranked duels in one video, from the coin toss to the win or loss screen.
• Save a turn one end board, an Ash Blossom stopping a combo or a topdeck comeback as separate clips.
• Use AI Voice Notes to find what you said mid duel, like 'do I chain Maxx C or not', and jump to that turn.
• Join the OTK that drops life points to zero and the duel that clinched Master into one deck showcase with AI Highlight.
• Share a duel in your Discord duel server or deck group chat with one dor.gg link instead of a replay ID.

Before you record Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel: install and recording mode

Master Duel is a light digital card game, so there is very little to set up before recording. DOR is a free Windows app and never puts a watermark on your videos. The game uses full session recording, which means a finished duel does not split the file; ranked duels, solo mode and even the deck editor stay in one video until you close the game. Many scenes only make sense if viewers can read the card text, so keep the default resolution for a crisp picture. The basic flow for recording any PC game is also covered in how to record PC games. The table below lists what to know for Master Duel.

Record Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel with DOR: step by step

1. 1Install DORDownload DOR, install it and leave it running. It is free, and once it is set up there is nothing to prepare each time you start Master Duel. Install it before an event weekend of ranked grinding and your first duel is covered.
2. 2Launch Master DuelStart Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel from Steam. Recording begins as soon as DOR detects the game, so choosing your deck and joining the queue are already on video. Testing a new build in solo mode is recorded the same way.
3. 3Check recording before the first duelBefore the coin toss screen appears, open the DOR app once and confirm the 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, the recording carries on from one duel into the next.
4. 4Clip the combo turn when it endsWhen you finish a turn one end board, or answer your opponent's chain and close with an OTK, press the clip save shortcut right as the turn ends. For long combos, set the clip length to 60 seconds beforehand so the key summons fit in one clip.
5. 5Quit and open My ClipsWhen you are done for the day, close the game. The full session video and your combo clips appear together in My Clips in the DOR app, ready to play as video files regardless of the in game replay list.

Find your recordings

Open your recordings from My Clips in the DOR app, also called the library. Each time you open and close Master Duel becomes one session, and turns you grabbed with the clip save shortcut show up as their own clips. To find a particular duel among back to back games, split them at the duel start screen and the win or loss screen. Once you have the right duel, use the turn counter shown on the field to jump to the turn where the combo started. Set a start and an end point to keep only that stretch, then export as 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. A combo that needs card text should go out as a full 16:9 turn, while a quick finishing attack works as a short 9:16 cut. Trimming tips are in how to trim game clips. Like the videos you want to keep, such as the duel that clinched Master. When space fills up, older videos you have not liked are cleared first, so liked duels stay put.

Save the moments you want to keep

Even with every duel recorded, clipping the turns you want to show off on the spot makes them easy to find. Press the clip save shortcut and the last stretch of play is saved as a clip. The default length is 30 seconds, and you can choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds in settings. Good times to press it in Master Duel are right after an OTK drops your opponent to zero, right after a three link chain battle resolves, right after a topdeck comeback, and right after a rank promotion is confirmed. A turn one end board easily runs past a minute, so set the length to 60 seconds, while a short moment like Ash Blossom stopping a combo fits in 15. To change the shortcut, see saving the last few seconds instantly.

Find what was said with AI Voice Notes

Master Duel is a one on one game, but most players talk through their turns, either to themselves or to a deckbuilding friend on a call. Lines like 'if they have Ash, it has to be now', 'do I chain Maxx C or not' and 'everything rides on this draw' become a record of your decisions. DOR records game audio and your microphone together, and AI Voice Notes writes what you said onto the recording timeline as text. When you revisit your list and want to rewatch the duel where you said 'win this one for Master', find that line in the timeline text and select it to jump straight there. Seeing the turn you debated a chain alongside what you said at the time makes deck review far more useful. To set up your mic input, see recording games with mic audio.

Build a montage with AI Highlight

To build a deck showcase from your combo turns, use AI Highlight. In the library, check your turn one end board, Ash Blossom stopping a combo, the three link chain battle, the topdeck comeback, the OTK that drops life points to zero and the duel that clinched Master, then select AI Highlight. DOR joins the checked moments into one video. Pick only duels won with the same deck and you have the backbone of a deck profile upload. To place the clips in combo order yourself, see how to merge game clips.

Edit in DOR Studio

DOR Studio opens in your browser with nothing to install. Cut a long combo down to the key summons, put card names on screen as text and add a punch zoom on the finishing attack for a deck profile Short. Use a glitch transition between duels to show where the opponent changes, and keep the background music low enough that card sound effects still come through. Guides where viewers need to read card text suit 16:9, while a Short that only shows the finish suits 9:16. Getting the result as an mp4 is covered in exporting DOR clips, or share it as a link straight away.

Share with a dor.gg link

Send trimmed duels as dor.gg links. Whoever opens the link plays it right in their browser without the game or any app, so instead of reading out a replay ID you can drop the combo into your Discord duel server or deck group chat. Send the turn where the chain decision went either way to a friend on the same deck, and the duel that clinched Master to the friend who will cheer for it. How to pick combo turns is covered in sending Master Duel combo videos, and posting to Discord is covered in sharing clips on Discord.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel recommended settings and troubleshooting

Master Duel is fairly light, so recording runs smoothly even at minimum spec. The default 1080p at 30fps keeps card text and life points readable, and 60fps is the pick if you want summon animations to look smoother. If you grind events on a laptop, the 720p/30fps mode lowers the load, though 1080p is better for videos where viewers need to read card text. Fullscreen, windowed and borderless windows all record, so leave the game's settings as they are. DOR uses GPU hardware encoding, so its effect on your duels is small. It has no cheat features and never touches your game files or play data. If you play ranked for hours at a time, see recording long gameplay without stutter.
