Most of the fun in Euro Truck Simulator 2 lives inside long stretches of time. You drive between European cities for hours, and the few seconds when you finally back the trailer into a tight loading bay are what you want friends to see. This guide covers one method only: record Euro Truck Simulator 2 with DOR, cut out those moments, and send them to friends as a dor.gg link. The longer the drive, the longer the recording, so this guide focuses on how to find the part worth showing in hours of footage and how long to cut each kind of scene.
Put simply
Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2 on a PC with DOR installed and the whole day's driving is saved as one mp4. After you quit, open it in the library, use the delivery result screen or the times you noted to find the reverse park or a scenic stretch, trim it, and send the dor.gg link. For keeping multi-hour drives recording stably to the end, see How to Record Long Gameplay Without Stutter.
Steps to send an ETS2 scene to friends
- 1Install DOR and launch Euro Truck Simulator 2Install the free DOR app on your Windows PC and launch Euro Truck Simulator 2; DOR detects it automatically and records. However many deliveries you run, it stays one video until you close the game.
- 2Use the delivery result screen as a chapter markerDriving footage has long stretches of the same highway, so scrubbing blindly makes it easy to lose your place. Find the result screen that appears after each delivery first and the recording breaks into deliveries; the reverse park sits right before that screen.
- 3Note the time for scenic stretchesWhen a sunset mountain road or a night highway comes up, jot down the PC clock time on your phone. Also note points where the screen changes, such as resting at a stop or taking a ferry, so you never get lost in a long recording.
- 4Cut each scene to its own lengthA reverse park works at about a minute from entry to the result screen, a scenic stretch at 1 to 2 minutes, and a near miss at 10 to 20 seconds. Drop repetitive road boldly. Use 16:9 when the trailer and surroundings must be visible, and 9:16 for short clips viewed on a phone.
- 5Send the link to your convoyWhen the trim finishes you get a dor.gg link. Paste it into the chat with the friends you drove with in Convoy, and each of them plays it in a browser, while friends who missed the run can watch on a phone.
- 6Build the whole trip in StudioTo turn a run from departure city to destination into a short travel video, merge your trimmed stretches in DOR Studio in the browser, add text for origin and destination, lay background music under it, and share it as a link or download it as an mp4.
How to cut each kind of ETS2 driving scene
| Driving scene | Clue in the recording | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Reversing into a tight bay | Right before the delivery result screen | 16:9 (so the trailer and surroundings fit) |
| Long-haul highlights | Leaving the departure city and the stretch before arrival | 16:9 |
| Night highway | After the screen darkens and the headlights come on | 16:9 or 9:16 |
| Convoy with friends | When several trucks start rolling in a line | 16:9 |
| Before and after a ferry | Pulling into the port and arriving across the water | 1:1 or 16:9 |
| A near miss | The moment the screen shakes under hard braking | 9:16 (short phone clip) |
Checks before sharing
- At least 20GB of free disk space (below that, recording stops automatically)
- The reverse park clip covers entry through completion
- Dull, repetitive highway stretches are cut out
- Convoy voice chat does not include conversation you would rather not keep
- 16:9 or 9:16 chosen to fit each scene
- The trip is in departure-to-arrival order when merged
What DOR does in Euro Truck Simulator 2
DOR is a free Windows desktop app, and Euro Truck Simulator 2 became a full-session recording game in the October 2026 app update. Launch the game and DOR detects it automatically, saving everything until you quit as one mp4 instead of splitting it per delivery. There are no automatic highlights that pick out parking wins or scenery, so you pull out the stretch you want with the library trim tool. You can turn this game's recording on or off in the Full Session Recording group in settings, and turning it off shows a confirmation prompt. Recording stops automatically when free space drops below 20GB. See How to Merge Game Clips to join stretches into one trip, and How to Add Music to Game Videos to put music under a drive.
