The fastest way to save Medal clips is to read them directly from the Medal.tv website using your browser

Medal records your gameplay automatically, and the easiest route to your PC is Medal's own read button. Log into your Medal.tv account in a web browser, find the clip you want, and click the read icon next to it. The file saves to your Downloads folder as an MP4 video file, ready to move, edit, or upload anywhere else.

If you have Medal's desktop app running while you play, clips are already stored locally on your hard drive — you do not need to read them from the website at all. You can find them in the Medal app's library, or navigate directly to the folder where Medal stores recordings on your system.

Key Takeaways

  • Medal.tv's website has a read button on every clip; click it and the file goes to your Downloads folder as an MP4.
  • If Medal's desktop app is installed, your clips are already saved locally in a Medal folder on your hard drive.
  • You can move downloaded clips to any folder, external drive, or cloud storage after they land on your PC.
  • Clips downloaded from Medal are standard MP4 files that work with any video player or editing software.

Downloading clips from Medal.tv in your browser

Open a web browser and go to Medal.tv. Sign in with the same account you use in the Medal app. Navigate to your profile or library — the exact location depends on whether Medal shows your clips on your profile page or in a separate library section, but both are visible once you log in.

Find the clip you want to save. Hover over it or click it to open the clip's full page. Look for a read icon, usually a downward arrow or a button labeled "read." Click it. Your browser will read the file to your default Downloads folder, typically C:\Users\[Your Username]\Downloads on Windows or /Users/[Your Username]/Downloads on Mac.

Once the read finishes, you can move the file anywhere on your PC. Right-click it, select "Cut" or "Copy," navigate to a new folder, and paste it there. Many people create a dedicated folder for Medal clips so they stay organized.

Finding clips already stored by the Medal desktop app

When you run Medal's desktop app while playing, it records clips and stores them on your hard drive automatically. You do not have to read them from the website — they are already there. Open the Medal app and look for a "Library," "Clips," or "Recordings" section. Click on any clip and look for an option to "Open in Explorer" or "Show in Folder." This takes you directly to the file's location on your PC.

If you want to find the folder manually, Medal typically stores clips in one of these locations:

  • Windows: C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Medal\Clips
  • Mac: /Users/[Your Username]/Library/process Support/Medal/Clips

Open File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac), paste the path into the address bar, and press Enter. You will see all your recorded clips as MP4 files. From there, you can copy them to another folder, an external drive, or cloud storage.

Moving clips to external storage or the cloud

After you have downloaded or located your Medal clips, you can move them anywhere. To copy clips to an external hard drive or USB stick, plug in the device, open File Explorer or Finder, and drag the clip files into the external device's folder. This keeps a backup copy on your PC and a copy on the external drive.

For cloud storage, open your cloud service — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or another option — and upload the clip files directly. Most cloud services let you drag files into a browser window to upload them. This way your clips are backed up online and accessible from any device.

Editing Medal clips on your PC

Medal clips are standard MP4 video files, so any video editing software on your PC can open them. Windows includes Photos and Video Editor, both of which can trim clips, add music, or adjust colors. On Mac, iMovie is built in and handles basic edits. For more control, programs like DaVinci Resolve (free) or Adobe Premiere Pro (paid) work with Medal clips without any conversion needed.

Open your editing software, import the MP4 file, and edit as you would any other video. When you export, choose MP4 as the output format to keep the file compatible with most platforms and players.

Uploading Medal clips to YouTube, Discord, or other platforms

Once a clip is on your PC, you can upload it anywhere. For YouTube, open YouTube Studio, click "Create," select "Upload Videos," and drag your MP4 file into the upload area. For Discord, open a server or direct message, click the attachment icon, and select the clip file from your PC. Most social media platforms accept MP4 files directly — Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch all take video uploads from your computer.

If a platform has file size limits, check the clip's size before uploading. Right-click the file, select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), and look at the file size. If it is too large, you can compress it using free tools like HandBrake or trim it in a video editor before uploading.

Troubleshooting clips that won't read or save

If the read button on Medal.tv is not working, try a different browser or clear your browser's cache. Sometimes a full browser restart fixes the issue. If clips are not showing up in the Medal app's library, check that the app is fully updated — open the app, look for a settings or update option, and install any pending updates.

If you cannot find the local Medal folder on your PC, make sure you have enabled viewing hidden files. On Windows, open File Explorer, click "View," and check "Hidden Items." On Mac, press Command+Shift+Period in Finder to show hidden files. The AppData folder on Windows and the Library folder on Mac are both hidden by default.
