    What I really want from it is just a quick record shortcut that only captures the last minute or 3 like the consoles have. I don’t want to have to go back later and save it after marking it.

      There is a decky plugin for that, although it adds about 1w of power usage to have it enabled.

      That’s the feature I’m hoping for. Maybe I’m misunderstanding how the constant record feature works, but I really only want to keep maybe the last 5-10 minutes in temp storage, but it’s holding way longer than that for me.

      I have a suspicion that was omitted purposefully to prevent people from just sharing their raw saved replays. Since if you have to clip you’ll never end up with people sharing full minute videos where the interesting bit was the last five seconds.

      This is of course just my own supposition from assuming they had a reason for the omission and thinking about what that reason might be

    I’d really like AV1 support, and a resolution setting. Right now it records my 3440x1440 ultrawide as 1920x804.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Fixed a bug that could leave some local screenshots undeleted after attempting to delete multiple at one time.

    Added a warning to the user if game recording has been turned off to prioritize broadcasting.

    Ignore user marker shortcut key if game recording is disabled.

    Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot.

    Steam will also scan game state descriptions to apply to default clip filename, if available.

    Fixed an exception thrown if the user cancelled a clip save in the file picker dialog.

      I’m pretty sure that works fine actually. I’ve had issues with it not letting me download windows demos in the past on desktop, but on Steam Deck at least it’s let me run every windows demo I’ve tried.
