Roblox Moments is currently available in beta for users aged 13 and above. This age restriction ensures appropriate content moderation and safety measures are in place. All captured content for publication is proactively moderated, and we make it easy for users to report any inappropriate content.

How to Capture Moments and Share on Roblox?

Step 1: Capture Your Epic Moments

Capturing gameplay clips is incredibly straightforward. Here’s the detailed process:

  1. Launch Your Favorite Game
    • Open the Roblox app on any device (mobile, PC, or tablet)

    • The recording will automatically capture up to 30 seconds of gameplay
    • A recording indicator will show you’re actively capturing
  4. Pro Capture Tips:

    • Keep action centered in frame for better visibility
    • Avoid excessive camera movement for cleaner clips
    • Record during peak action moments or funny fails
    • Remember that UI elements are automatically hidden for cleaner footage

    • Click on the experience to enter the Moments editor
