It’s as simple as recording your webcam and creating picture-in-picture gaming reaction videos and highlight clips. Our content library is filled with GIFs, stickers, and royalty-free stock videos and music to create engaging gaming clips.

This National Video Game Day, we’ve built on our Xbox partnership by adding two exclusive content packs from leading games, Minecraft and Sea of Thieves.

Explore Minecraft content in Clipchamp

Minecraft is still one of the most popular video games 13 years after it was first launched. Over 166 million active monthly players mine blocks and craft bricks in the 3D sandbox game.

When Minecraft players aren’t playing Minecraft, they’re watching Minecraft videos. 1/3 of boys who play Minecraft regularly watch Minecraft-related videos on YouTube. It’s no surprise that the game also dominates live streaming platforms. Minecraft has been streamed for over 11.9 million hours in the last six years on Twitch.

Whether you’re evading creepers and skellies in survival mode or caving for redstone in vanilla mode, you can personalize your gaming edits with our new sticker and intro/outro packs.

Run out of arrows in hardcore mode but still managed a crit on a zombie with your trusty pickaxe? Commemorate the victory with the Zombie sticker.
