This will turn off the gameplay recording features.<\/p>\nAlternatively, you can change the recording time on your PlayStation console from the default 15 minutes to just 30 seconds. By shortening the recording time to 30 seconds, you’ll be able to enhance the performance of your console and decrease the amount of wear and tear on the hard drive. A 30-second recording time guarantees that your PS4 will store the video in Random Access Memory (RAM) rather than on the hard disk.<\/p>\n
To change the recording time to 30 seconds, enter\u00a0Sharing and Broadcast Settings<\/strong>, Select\u00a0Length of Video Clip<\/strong>, and reduce the recording time from 15 minutes to\u00a030 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Why is my PS4 automatically recording?<\/span><\/h2>\nIf your PS4 is automatically recording, it’s likely because you enabled your PlayStation’s Share feature. When the Share feature is enabled, your PS4 will automatically save the last 15 minutes of gameplay so that you can share footage and screenshots. You can customize how much of your gameplay is recorded or disable this feature in your Share menu.<\/p>\n
