Where Does NVIDIA ShadowPlay Save Recordings?
ShadowPlay saves clips into per game folders under Videos. The default layout and the overlay setting that moves it.
Last updated
ShadowPlay (NVIDIA Share) saves recordings under your Videos folder, in a subfolder named after the game, like %USERPROFILE%\Videos\Fall Guys. Desktop captures go to a Desktop subfolder instead. Screenshots follow the same per game split.
The location is user changeable and many guides quote stale defaults. Press Alt+Z for the overlay, open Settings, then Recordings to see and move the live folder. Highlights for GeForce NOW titles use a Videos\NVIDIA branch instead.
Where NVIDIA Share stores this, by platform

Per game subfolders underneath, e.g. Videos\<game>. Desktop capture uses Videos\Desktop. Move it via Alt+Z, Settings, Recordings; the three dot menu picks the new folder.
