Valve has released a dedicated video recording tool in the Steam client called Steam Game Recording. This is a great addition that allows you to easily record videos with minimal performance impact, which you can then share, export, and edit. We’ll show you how to use the Steam Game Recording feature, which is currently in beta.

How to Enable Steam Game Recording
Because the Steam game recording feature is currently in beta, you must use one of the beta client versions available in the Steam client.

- To access these versions, click on Steam in the top left corner of the client and select “Settings”
- Now, select the Interface tab and under Client Beta Participation select Steam Beta Updates or Steam Family Beta
- Restart Steam and it will download the update files needed for the Beta version.
- If you are already using the Beta version, you can select the “Check for Steam Client Updates” option in Steam.
- Once Steam restarts, you will see a Game Recording tab in Settings
Steam Game Recording Mode
Steam game recording has three modes to choose from:
- Off/No Recording: In this mode, Steam will not record anything in the background, and you will not be able to record gameplay using the client. You can still take screenshots, however.
- Background Recording: Steam will start recording the video as soon as you launch the game. You can set the length and quality of the video to be recorded and let Steam allocate space on the drive of your choice.
- Record on demand: This is the traditional recording feature where you press a key combination to start recording.
How to Use Steam Game Recorder
Once enabled, you can press Ctrl+11 (default shortcut) to start recording footage. You will see a pop-up window in the bottom right corner along with a sound effect to confirm that recording has started. You can stop recording using the same shortcut.
Once the recording is complete, you can use Shift+Tab to open the Steam Overlay in-game. From here, you can interact with the Steam game recording timeline interface, allowing you to watch, share, edit, and export footage.

In the editor, you can also right-click to add a marker anywhere in the clip.
How to export video using Steam game recording function
Once you’re done recording, you can bring up the Steam overlay to create a clip of your selection. Once you’ve selected the relevant section in the timeline that you want to turn into a clip or export as a video, simply click the Save/Share button and you’ll be presented with several options.
- You can save your videos to Steam for your friends or the community to watch
- You can export the video file to a specific location on your system
- The clip can be sent to other devices you are logged into (eg: Steam Deck to PC)
- You can create a shareable link with your video that will expire after two days.
- You can also send clips to friends directly in the chat
Video files are exported in .MP4 format, and you can adjust the quality using different bitrates in the Game Recording tab in Settings.
How to access screenshots and recordings
You can access your recordings and screenshots in several places in the client. First, while in game, you can simply click on the media icon in the Steam Overlay.
In the Steam client, you can view screenshots and clips on the game page in your library, or select a new option called “View recordings and screenshots in Steam.”
This will open a new window where you can view screenshots or videos from a specific game or all of your recent media. You can also access the timeline editor here so you can edit, share, or export your videos outside of the game.
Does Steam Game Recording work with non-Steam games and applications?
Yes! Non-Steam games can also use Steam game recording. We tested some games installed using the GOG client, added them to Steam as non-Steam games, and everything worked fine.
Is there a Steam game recording feature on Steam Deck?
Yes, this feature is also available in the latest beta version of Steam Deck. In on-demand recording mode, you can press Steam + A to start game capture. You can press Steam + Y to add timeline markers.
This new feature is still in beta, so you may run into some technical issues. For example, while testing, I was unable to get audio in a particular recording when the “Record audio from…” option was set to “Gameplay only.” If you’d like to help Valve with feedback, you can report any issues you encounter while using the feature in the following group.
We’re excited to see the feature finally implemented in the client, and we hope Valve continues to improve its usability and iron out any bugs that users encounter.
