Share Button

Im tired of reading that the share feature doesnt work when in fact there is nothing wrong with the Share feature, its most likely that you are using the feature wrong and dont understand it fully.First of all, there is only one genuine problem reported that the share feature currently has and its the fact that a few people have problems where the PS4 only records the first 15 minutes of your session and then stops until you restart game.
To fix that: hold PS4 power button for about 8 seconds until you get to safe mode and then click on rebuild database.
That being said, I will now explain how share feature works.
Clicking the share button; opens the share menu and will automatically take a screenshot AND save your last 15 minutes of footage.
Holding share button; takes a screenshot.
Double tap share button (this is important); this will DELETE your unsaved final 15 minutes of footage and create a new video file that will take your new upcoming footages of 15 minutes.




And finally I would like to mention that the developers have the ability to block gameplay footage from some parts of their games, go to share settings options and enable notification for start and end scenes where the PS4 will not record gameplay.
