Abstract: Game data representing a game event generated during gameplay of a video game on a client computing device is received from the client computing device. The game data is provided as input to a machine-learning analyzer to determine whether the game event is an event of interest. The machine-learning analyzer is previously-trained using previously-recorded game events deemed popular based on community feedback. The machine-learning analyzer determines that the game event is an event of interest based on the game event having characteristics that match characteristics of the previously-recorded game events deemed popular. A command to generate a recording of the game event is issued in response to the machine-learning analyzer determining that the game event is an event of interest.
