GeForce Experience comes with several advanced features like application optimization, screen capture/recording, automatic display driver update, battery optimization, and many more. Although GeForce Experience offers a simple user interface, some might have issues using ShadowPlay, especially if you are new to the application.

You just need topress Alt + F9 to start or stop recording your gameplay using NVIDIA’s ShadowPlay. But this is the default shortcut key and will only work if you have configured the right GeForce Experience Settings.

Besides this, there are several steps you might need to follow before the shortcut key records your gameplay. These steps includeinstalling GeForce experience, enabling its overlay, and using it to record gameplay.

ShadowPlay is a part of GeForce Experience, so you must install GeForce Experience first. If you are on a laptop with an NVIDIA graphics card, GeForce Experience comes pre-installed. However, this is not the case for all NVIDIA graphics cards, as not all NVIDIA graphics cards support Ge-Force Experience.
