Valve has announced that Steam has added a game recording feature to its games. The long requested feature is available on PC, Mac, and Steam Deck.
The mechanic will allow Steam players to record footage, clip footage, replay them, or share them. There’s also new player markers to mark key points in a video, as well as an updated manager for recordings and screenshots.
Valve’s official announcement page for the new Steam game recording feature describes it as follows:
Clips or it didn’t happen
From capturing highlights to documenting entire campaigns, there are many ways to use this all-new set of features.
Record
With Background Recording mode, your gameplay is continuously saved to your preferred drive, never exceeding your specified duration and storage limits. An On Demand Recording mode with manual start and stop is also available. Use the Steam Timeline and Event Markers to find key moments.
Replay
Useful for things like seeing what went wrong when your hero died, or recalling something mentioned by an npc earlier. Accessible in the Steam Overlay for every game.
Clip
Keep only the video that matters to you. Steam offers lightweight tools to make it easy to find and clip your gameplay footage. Share and edit local footage in the redesigned Recordings & Screenshots interface.
Share
Get your videos where you want them. One-click share to a friend in chat or post your finest moments for the world to see. Plus easily send footage from your Steam Deck to your PC or mobile device. Use the new Save/Share menu during or after play.
