Overview
Upload and analyze your own demos from any platform. Private demos give you the same powerful analysis tools as public matches, with additional features for team collaboration.
Supported Demo Types
POV Demos
Demos recorded directly from CS2 using the 'record demoname' command. While the .dem file is locked to the recording player's perspective, uploading to Private Demos unlocks the full 2D view of all players.
GOTV Demos
Server-side recordings with all player perspectives, available from matchmaking platforms (FACEIT, Gamersclub) and tournament platforms (HLTV)
[ 02 ]
File Formats
Demos come in different formats depending on the platform. Some require extraction before uploading.
Common Formats
HLTV (.rar)
HLTV demos come compressed in .rar archives. Extract the .dem files using WinRAR or 7-Zip before uploading.
FACEIT (.zts)
FACEIT demos use .zts compression. Rename to .zip and extract, or use 7-Zip to decompress directly.
Direct (.dem)
Some platforms provide uncompressed .dem files that can be uploaded directly without extraction.
Always extract demo files before uploading. The upload system expects .dem files, not compressed archives.

Uploading Demos
Use the Upload Demo button to select files from your computer. The system automatically processes and categorizes your uploads.
Upload Features
Auto Detection
The system automatically detects whether the demo is a POV or GOTV recording

Processing

Team Sharing
All demos you upload are automatically shared with your team members. This allows everyone to access the same analysis materials.
Team members can view, analyze, and add notes to shared demos. This makes collaborative preparation and review sessions seamless.

HLTV Team Sync
If your team is listed on HLTV and you want to sync audio with demos that are already in the system, you can link your HLTV team to your CS2.CAM team.
Go to Manage Teams in Settings to link your HLTV team profile.

Tagging Demos
Use the pencil icon to tag demos. When you tag a demo, the system finds all demos with the exact same roster of players and applies the same tag to all of them.
This is especially useful for anti-strat preparation against teams not on HLTV. Tag all their demos with the team name and filter by tag to see all their matches together.
