Who it suits

Windows players who want free instant replay and clip editing Users seeking open-source game recording Players sharing automatically generated highlights in supported games

Choose Segra when you want a no-cost recorder with instant replay, high-resolution output, and an open-source codebase. Windows users get the clearest path, including signed builds and stated minimum requirements. Linux users should treat it as experimental. Automatic highlight creation is useful only where the game is supported, while ordinary recording is broader. Check the upload rule before moving existing footage into the service, and remember that uploaded videos may leave the EU through its CDN.
