How does Fortnite's recording symbol work?

Fortnite replays can be very useful. From editing videos to going over them to spot your mistakes, replays can make your Fortnite experience more enjoyable.

While players play the game, the recording symbol has appeared on the right side of their screen even when they haven't attempted to record.

Fortnite replays can be very useful. From editing videos to going over them to spot your mistakes, replays can make your Fortnite experience more enjoyable. While players play the game, the recording symbol has appeared on the right side of their screen even when they haven't attempted to record.

You may see the red recording symbol even if you're not recording. Players can try logging back into the game for a temporary fix since only Epic can roll out a permanent fix.

Players can create highlights and clips from their in-game moments using new replay recording techniques Epic has been working on. This bug is likely caused by the developer experimenting with the new recording method.

Despite the fact that Epic has already fixed the bug, it is still possible that it will reappear as Epic continues to experiment with new features.

You should relaunch the game if you are having trouble with the recording symbol when you aren’t recording, because it is also the best way to find out if there is a new patch to download. You can keep an eye on Fortnite Status’ Twitter page, which updates players on ongoing outages and bugs.
