I am asking this because I don't know how or what to use to record it so if I can do that what would I need to do to get it verified and added to the leaderbord?

Required evidence depends completely on the specific leaderboard. Check the rules for the games you’re interested in.

Hello,

Every game has its own specific rules however generally speaking, you will need to submit video evidence for your run. (You should check the actual rules of the game(s) you intend to run first however).

There are many ways to record - again the specific communities can help you in more detail. However basically:

• you can use a capture card to record your TV output to your PC if it is console game you are playing
• you can use Twitch or OBS to record your monitor if it is a PC game you are playing
• you can use a phone camera / DSLR / webcam to record your screen if it is a mobile/handheld game you are playing

That obviously is just an overview, you will need to make sure that whatever method you use abides by the rules of your chosen game(s) community. But typically speaking - where there is a will, there is a way, even if it is just pointing your phone at a screen and hitting record!
