Instant Highlights explained
Instant Highlights is a feature that allows you to retroactively record and save recent gameplay clips (15 to 60 seconds) with a single hotkey press:
Quick Capture
Press Ctrl + \ (default hotkey) to instantly save the last few seconds of gameplay
Captures are made in the background with no lag or disruption
