Avermedia Game Capture HD II is a portable solution to set up and upload video game captures to YouTube instantly. Imagine you need to set up your own YouTube channel and upload your gameplay, what do you need? You need a PC, video editing software, fast internet bandwidth and consoles if you play on PS4 and Xbox One. The most important thing you need is a bridge between PC and consoles to capture if you are using PC only then internal hardware is enough.

This setup is time consuming, resource intensive and frustrating. Whether you are playing on PC or console, the recording is chaotic as it affects the game performance if you don’t have an ultra high configuration. What you can do at this point is to choose Avermedia Game Capture HD II and get a centralized control to do everything. Record gameplay with live commentary, upload directly to YouTube without using a PC, basic video editing, etc. With Avermedia Game Capture HD II, you can record gameplay without using a PC, it has a section to install a 2.5 inch internal hard drive that can store everything. If you don’t have that, a front USB port will suffice.

Avermedia Game Capture HD II is an easy to use TV tuner setup, with simple connectivity to help you set up your gameplay capture system.

We had the chance to test Avermedia Game Capture HD II C285, a larger version designed for HD recording. The best thing about the C285 is that you don’t need a PC, it comes with a remote control and basic controls that allow you to upload recorded videos directly to YouTube. You can also split them into clips, but with limitations. For example, you can’t add watermarks to the video. It’s limited compared to video editing software.
