Steam has unveiled a groundbreaking feature known as Game Recording, allowing users to capture gameplay clips directly within the Steam client, compatible with all games on the platform (including non-Steam games that support Steam Overlay). No longer reliant on external tools, this feature offers a comprehensive range of functions.
Users can record game clips in Background mode, running seamlessly in the background according to preset time intervals, specifying the maximum file size to be stored, and utilizing On-Demand mode to start and stop recording at will. Moreover, it includes Steam Timeline and Event Markers to attach significant events during gameplay, with game developers able to support this feature by automatically inserting markers for players (e.g., upon successfully defeating a boss).
Additionally, the Replay function allows instant playback to uncover why a loss occurred or to revisit memorable moments, eliminating the need to traverse back and forth for discussions.
With the Clip feature, editing clips becomes a breeze, simplifying the process for users. Sharing clips is a one-button operation, enabling users to share content with friends in chat rooms or to the world on social media platforms. Furthermore, users can seamlessly share clip files from Steam Deck to their PC or the Steam Mobile App on their smartphones.
To participate in the Beta testing phase of Steam Game Recording, users must opt into Beta Participation before gaining access to this cutting-edge feature.
TLDR: Steam introduces Game Recording feature allowing users to capture gameplay clips within the Steam client, including a range of functions such as Background mode recording, Replay for instant playback, Clip editing, and easy sharing capabilities. Users need to opt into Beta Participation to access this innovative feature.
