Thanks for the report. We’ll have a fix for this with the next release.

Hey Kierkegaard, there is no embedded video export options for full-fledged replays at this time. You can share the import code so that a different person can log onto Overwatch and watch the replay from their game client.

As always you can record and export gameplay from the replays to video by using software such as GeForce Experience Shadowplay (for NVidia GTX/RTX graphic card owners), ReLive (for AMD Radeon Graphic Card owners), or Open Broadcasting Software (a free streaming recording software that is available).

As constructive feedback, I think it will be important to make sure there is a written reminder in the Report Replay dialog to specifically state its only for vulgar content. Right now the only thing that shows is just the code field to report that code without any real instructions. That or make sure the report code only works for a game that took place in Custom...

Hey!

We recommend continuing to use the standard in-game report features for best results when reporting a player. If a particular replay would serve as evidence, you can feel free to include the replay code in your report.

Reporting a replay itself should primarily be used in cases of vulgarity or other inappropriate content in a custom game.

Thanks for the feedback!

Regarding chat logs - In order to respect players’ privacy and observe related policies, we do not include these in replays.

Your instincts are good about the version number and how this would affect the replay, so code sharing should be functionally similar!

Thank you for the update! You are correct and setting the “Player Outline Strength” option to 0 will significantly affect enemy player outlines.

Hey everyone!

Since the introduction of the replay system, players have consistently asked for the ability to share those replays. We’re excited to bring that functionality to you!

A replay is shared via an alphanumeric code typically 6 characters long. The code can be shared however you want : in game, on forums, over social media. Another player can input that code and watch your replay. Codes are valid until the next patch.

We have also made some improvements to the replay system.

  • You can pin up to 10 replays to keep until the next patch. You can unpin a replay to make room for a different replay.
  • We track your 10 most recently imported replay codes. This allows you to watch the same imported replay again without retyping the code.
  • There is a new note field for each replay entry. Add descriptions or notes for yourself.

We eagerly await your feedback on this feature. Leave any you may have below!

Thanks!

For those of you reporting this issue, please check your “Player Outline Strength” under Gameplay options. This will significantly affect enemy player outlines if set low or at 0.

Thanks for the report. While we look into this issue, any examples of this behavior you can share would be very helpful.
