What Fuze.tv does

Medal.tv, operating under the brand Medal, is a free game clip recording and sharing platform built for PC and mobile gamers. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Los Angeles, Medal runs as a background Windows application that captures gameplay with a single button press, supports recording at up to 4K resolution and 144 frames per second, and produces an instant shareable link. Core technical components include an event-detection layer ("Auto Clipping") for popular competitive titles such as Fortnite, Valorant, League of Legends, Apex Legends, and Counter-Strike, multi-track audio mixing for game, microphone, and Discord feeds, configurable clip-length capture (15 seconds to full session), and a cloud storage plus social graph layer with friend tagging. The product is delivered directly to consumers through downloadable Windows, iOS, and Android apps using a product-led growth motion, with no intermediary channel partners.

The platform has accumulated approximately 4.8 billion uploaded clips and 12 million+ connected friends, with active community operations across Discord, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, and Roblox. Medal monetizes via an optional subscription tier, Medal Premium, while the core capture, edit, and share functionality remains free; a separate Medal Editor, Mobile App, Discord Bot, Trends analytics surface, and a Game Developer SDK round out the product surface. The company is privately held and was co-founded by Dror Cohen (Chief Architect), Alexander Mazyarik (CTO), and Yevgeni Volovich (VP R&D). Its go-to-market is entirely self-serve for individual gamers, with no named enterprise customers, no disclosed revenue, and limited disclosed funding (a 2020 round listing Fusion as an investor with an unverified $0 disclosed amount).

Direct peers

• OBS Project: OBS Studio is the leading free, open-source recording and streaming software used by millions of gamers and creators. While more complex than Medal, it competes for the same capture-and-share workflow and represents the default alternative for power users.
• Streamlabs: Streamlabs (owned by Logitech) provides creator tools for streaming, recording, and monetization, and recently added AI-powered highlight clipping similar to Medal's auto-clipping. It targets the same gamer-creator audience with a more established creator-economy ecosystem.
• Overwolf: Overwolf operates an in-game app platform for gamers including its own Outplayed clip-recording tool, and provides developer infrastructure for game overlays. It competes with Medal on both capture and game-developer integration, plus offers a similar Game Developer SDK model.
• Discord: Discord is the dominant gaming community and voice/chat platform with deep social graph overlap with Medal. Both serve gamers seeking instant communication, sharing, and community — Discord increasingly embeds clip-sharing features that directly compete with Medal's core use case.
• XSplit: XSplit offers game recording and live streaming software targeted at gamers and content creators, with similar recording, editing, and broadcasting features. It competes with Medal for the same PC gamer creator base seeking capture and share workflows.
• NVIDIA ShadowPlay (GeForce Experience): NVIDIA ShadowPlay is the default game capture tool bundled with every GeForce GPU, offering one-button recording, instant replay, and 4K capture for free. It directly competes with Medal's core PC capture value proposition for the same gamer audience.

Broad incumbents

• TikTok: TikTok has become a major short-form gaming clip destination, with native capture, AI editing, and discovery features that absorb the audience Medal targets. As gaming content on TikTok grows, it represents a structural threat to Medal's viral clip-sharing model.
• YouTube Gaming: YouTube Gaming hosts short-form gaming clips (Shorts), live streams, and long-form video from the same creator base Medal serves. Its built-in distribution, monetization, and discovery infrastructure make it a broad incumbent competing for gaming audience attention.
• Twitch: Twitch is the dominant live game-streaming platform owned by Amazon, with massive overlapping audience of gamers and creators. While focused on live streaming rather than short clips, it absorbs the same creator content and attention Medal competes for.

Emerging players

• Eklipse.gg: Eklipse.gg is an AI-powered gaming highlight tool that automatically converts Twitch and other streams into short clips — directly competing with Medal's auto-clipping value proposition. As an emerging player focused purely on AI highlights, it represents a fast-moving competitive threat to Medal's differentiated capability.
