Free Screen Recorder for PC Gaming
Game screens record automatically. Anything else, one hotkey.
DOR is a free Windows screen recorder built for PC gaming. It detects 130+ supported games and records the screen automatically, and when you are not in a game it records your screen with a hotkey (F9 by default). You trim recordings and share them with a dor.gg link.
Built for recording game screens
Automatic game screen recording
Launch a supported game and DOR detects it and starts recording. No record button needed.
Hotkey screen recording (F9)
When you are not in a game, press the hotkey to record your screen. You can change the hotkey in settings.
Game audio and mic together
DOR records game sound and your mic in one go, so commentary needs no separate recording.
Free, no time limit or watermark
There is no recording length limit and no watermark.
Trim and share by link
Trim the part you need (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) and send a dor.gg link, or edit in the browser-based DOR Studio.
