Screenshot & Video Clips for your Bug report - Guide [ Edited ]

[EA_rephii]

Hey FIFA-Fans!

In this short guide, we want to provide you with some examples on how to capture and upload screenshots and video clips from your console or PC and attach them to your AHQ Bug reports. 

Screenshots and videos are crucial to help us to identify bugs and understand reproduction steps. If you have your own method to gather screenshots or videos, you are welcome to use your way, but we wanted to give you some guidance on some easy ways to capture and upload these files. 

If you haven't read our "How to report a bug - Guide" we would ask you to do that, before you go through this guide here. 

Thanks everyone for your help!

Screenshots:

Screenshots always help us a lot in understanding what is happening on your screen and what you are seeing. Detailed descriptions are often helpful, but a visual look at what you are seeing can often help us to even better identify a bug and also, if necessary, pass it on to our game teams who will also have a visual look at the problem.

How do I take screenshots?

There are numerous ways to do this, depending on the platform the options differ a bit of course, but here are the most common ways you can take a screenshot:

Console screenshots: The popular consoles offer a built-in screenshot feature that you can use.

• PlayStation
• Xbox
• Switch

Additional Third Party tools:

• Shadowplay
• PrintScreen (Windows option)
• Game screenshots
• OBS
• AMD Radeon ReLive
• Snipping Tool

or take a photo with your phone  

Upload your screenshot to your AHQ Bug report, so we can have a look at it and send it to our teams for investigation.

Videos:

Videos are usually the best option for us to understand your problems. Above all, they also prove to us what you see or have seen, so that we can then act accordingly.

How can I record videos?

The most popular consoles offer a clip feature that allows you to record short video clips and upload them.

How do I upload them?

PlayStation:

• The best and easiest option is to upload directly to YouTube.
  • Create a YouTube account, or link an existing YouTube account to your PlayStation and upload your clips directly to your YouTube channel.

• Then, in your browser or on your phone, you can pull up the link and add it directly to your bug report, so we can access it.
• It's best to upload the video as "unlisted" so that the video isn't shown to everyone on your channel.
• Also, you have the option to download your video as a .mp4 video directly from your YouTube content dashboard:
