If you ever wanted to capture, relive, and share your favorite moment in a game, then Raptr‘s new gameplay capture service, Plays.tv, is for you.

The free service makes it easy to capture a 20-second video clip and upload it to a website so that you can share it with friends. Plays.tv is an interesting pivot for Raptr, which already has 46 million users for its PC game optimization service, and it has enabled the company to raise $14 million in additional funding from Advanced Micro Devices and existing investors.
