Overview

Electron APIs / Packages

Provides access to all available Overwolf APIs bundled in the Electron Overwolf Packages management.

This interface extends overwolf.packages.OverwolfPackageManager and consolidates access to key subsystems such as:

  • recorder—video capture and replay features
  • overlay—in-game overlay window management and hotkeys
  • utility—game tracking and scanning utilities
  • crn—crash report and notification system

It acts as a unified entry point for interacting with Overwolf's capabilities within a packaged app.

Example​

const app = overwolf.packages as OWPackages;

// Start tracking game launch/exit events
app.utility.trackGames({ includeUnsupported: true });

// Register for game launch
app.utility.on("game-launched", (gameInfo) => {
  console.log("Game launched:", gameInfo.name);
});

// Start recording
await app.recorder.startRecording({
  filePath: "C:/Videos/gameplay",
  audioTrack: 1,
});
