==Overview==
==Overview==
Hitbox's primary purpose is to allow users to record themselves playing video games while others can watch in real-time as they play the game. The service has frequently seen use in high-profile [[tournament]]s as to allow interested viewers to spectate games or matches that they ordinarily cannot see live; outside of this, hitbox.tv has also seen use by casual players in order to merely record themselves playing for a public audience.
