What your viewers see
The round's best moment, replayed behind the INSTANT REPLAY stinger while the next round loads. The kill banner names the moment; the session bar keeps count.
Every moment, clipped, named and on stream
Clips that name themselves
“Double kill · 243 m”, “ACE”, “Hot extract”: every clip is titled from what happened, in your language.
One clip per fight
A kill that turns into a triple is re-cut and retitled seconds later, not saved three times.
Instant replay between rounds
CS2, VALORANT, Rainbow Six, THE FINALS and Delta Force's Detonation play the round's best moment in the downtime. MOBAs replay yours while you're dead.
Squad POV when you're down
Games without a spectator view put a squad mate's feed on stream until you're back up. Viewers never see a dead screen.
Session stats on stream
K/D, aces, goals, extracts: the numbers each game cares about, live on stream, and a recap card when you stop.
Highlight reels on your PC
Best moment first, second best last, title cards, levelled audio. Ready to post the moment you close the game.
The game's own data first
Valve's Game State Integration, Riot's Live Client Data API and Rocket League's Stats API: exact, nothing to set up but one click.
Reads the HUD like a viewer
Everywhere else Kennel reads what your viewers see: kill feeds, banners and pop-ups, in 14 languages.
Never touches the game
Captured with Windows Graphics Capture, like Windows' own recorder. No injected code, no game memory, no game files.
Costs almost no FPS
Your graphics card encodes the video. Kennel reads small parts of the screen a few times a second, at low priority.
OBS optional
Everything works without OBS. With the Kennel Link plugin, overlays drop into your scene and replays, POV swaps and your replay buffer run by themselves.
Stream Deck
Clip it, instant replay, squad POV, highlights and live stats on your keys.
One Kennel.gg account
Sign in with Discord, Steam, Twitch or Google: the same account as the Streaming Tool and the Cash Cup.
Updates itself
Quietly, in the background, and never while you're playing.
Something broke? Send logs
Help, Send logs: tell us in a sentence and we get everything we need to fix it, fast.

What you need
Common questions
Is it free?
Yes. Kennel is free during the alpha.
Do I need OBS?
No. Kennel records, clips and builds highlights on its own. With OBS and the Kennel Link plugin it also puts overlays, instant replays and squad POV swaps on your stream.
Will it get me banned?
Kennel never touches the game: no injected code, no reading the game's memory or files. It records the game window with Windows Graphics Capture, the way Windows' own recorder does, and reads the data feeds games publish for tools like it (Valve Game State Integration, Riot's Live Client Data API, Rocket League's Stats API).
Which games does it support?
22 today, from Counter-Strike 2, VALORANT, League of Legends and Dota 2 to Apex Legends, Fortnite, Escape from Tarkov and WARDOGS. Any other game still gets firefights clipped by sound.
My game is not in English. Does it still work?
Yes. Kennel reads each game's HUD in the language you play it in, across 14 languages, and the app, the overlays and the clip titles speak your language too.
Where do my clips go?
Ordinary MP4 files in your Videos folder, grouped by game and day, with a small file beside each that lists what happened in it.
Does it send anything?
Only when you choose to: linking your Kennel.gg account, or pressing Help, Send logs when something breaks.
What does alpha mean?
It works and it is rough in places. Games marked Calibrating read their HUD from the games' own screenshots and get better with frames from real matches. Tell us what breaks: Help, Send logs in the app, or the Kennel.gg Discord.
Be first in line.
The first alpha build goes to the Kennel.gg Discord before anywhere else. Join, grab it, and tell us what it clips, what it misses and what you want next.
