Can I restore a deleted recording?

Why am I seeing Alt Tabbed on my recordings?
When using the Outplayed Capture Modes Outplayed will record the game process itself. If you remove focus from the game (Such as alt-tabbing away from the game screen or clicking on something outside the game process) Outplayed will automatically pause the recording and show the following message:
You can use the Outplayed Editor to edit out the times in which the recording is paused. It is not possible to remove the watermark itself.
If you would like to record the screen itself instead of the game process please use the Screen Recorder feature.
What are APM Stats?

The Average is the match average and the All time avg. is the average across all your games.

Low disc space error
If your storage root folder (For example drive C: ) falls to under 200 MB of free space Outplayed will show the "Low disc space" error during the recording and stop recording. You will then be unable to record further clips with Outplayed.
