What do you get when you mix 4K graphics, faster frame rates, and bigger game universes? Even better photos and videos you can save and share with friends from your PlayStation 5.

The PS5 DualSense controller has a function that can do all of this. It's called the Create button, and it's the successor to the PS4's Share button.

How the PS5's Create button works

Located on the top-left of your controller and designated by a three-lined icon, the Create button can capture your gameplay in several ways.

Hitting the Create button pauses gameplay, and from there, you can take screenshots, start recording videos, save a video of things you've already done, edit photos, or launch a livestream that can be seen online.

Quick note: When taking photos, your screenshots will be saved as .PNG or .JPG files. If you have a 4K television, screenshots will be taken in 4K with HDR at 3840x2160. If not, the images and videos will default to 1080p at 60 frames per second. Videos can be up to an hour long, and saved as .MP4 or WebM files.

You can change these options by going to the Settings app, then "Captures and Broadcasts."

If you're looking to take screenshots or record video of your gameplay on the PS5, here's how to do it.

How to take screenshots on the PS5

1. On your PS5 DualSense controller, push the Create button once.

2. A menu will appear, giving you the option to begin recording, take a screenshot, or start broadcasting.

3. When you're ready to stop recording, hit the Create button again and choose "Stop Recording."

4. Wait until you receive confirmation of the recording in the top-right corner. That means the video has been saved.

How to record and save Recent Gameplay

Whenever you open a game and begin playing, the console automatically starts recording your gameplay, even if you didn't open the Create menu and hit the record button. You can later use an option in the Create menu to save this gameplay as a video, and upload it to Twitter or YouTube. Here's how to do it.

How to save Recent Gameplay

1. Open the Create menu by pushing the button.

2. Once opened, toggle over to "Save Recent Gameplay" and click it. It's the option to the left of the screenshot button.

3. You'll now have two options. You can select "Save Short Clip," which will let you save the last 15 seconds, 30 seconds, five minutes, 15 minutes, or 30 minutes. You can also select "Save Full Video," which will give you the last hour of gameplay (or however long you've been playing, if it hasn't been an hour).

1. Sign into YouTube or Twitch on a web browser or a mobile device.
2. Open the Settings menu on your PS5 by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Home screen.

How to view your PS5 screenshots and videos

Every photo and video you take will be saved in the Media Gallery, where they can be edited with colors, font changes, and more.

More importantly, though, the Media Gallery lets you share photos or videos on Twitter, YouTube, or with your PS5 friends.

How to access the Playstation 5 Media Gallery

The Media Gallery can be accessed in three different ways.

1. The Game Library. If you open the Game Library - it's the rightmost option on the PS5's homepage - and then go to the "Installed" tab, you'll find the Media Gallery at the bottom.

2. The Games tab. If you've used it recently, you can select the "Games" tab on the PS5's home screen, and find the Media Gallery in the list of games you've played.

3. Preview. Once you've taken a photo or ended a video recording of gameplay, a snap of the media will be momentarily available in the bottom left corner of the screen. Click that preview to be taken to the Media Gallery.

How to share photos and videos from your PS5

Just remember that you'll need to link your PS5 account to Twitter or YouTube to share there - go to the Users and Accounts menu, as demonstrated above.

How to share photos and videos with players on your PS5 friends' list

1. Open the Media Gallery and select the content you want to share.

2. Click on the "Share" button, which looks like an arrow.
