According to some data mining from the guy who runs SteamDB:

Steam is still working on clip recording. It supports background recording, includes timeline markers in supported games for various events.

Clips can be shared similar to screenshots, via the Steam community.

We don’t actually have any proof that this will be coming to Steam Deck yet, but I’m pretty optimistic that it would.

I recommend clicking through to the article, it has several screenshots showing how the feature will look.

    I remember asking for this a lot back when Shadowplay (I think that’s what it was called? It was exclusive to Nvidia cards and I was an ATI/AMD user then) first came out and they were actively taking suggestions for Steam Community/Overlay features. Valve time is a helluva drug.

    I don’t go out of my way to record all the time, but damn do I like the idea of being able to hit a button and save the 30-60 seconds of what I just did when something gnarly happens.

    This will be a really cool addition to Steamworks, strange it wasn’t made earlier, but late is better than never.

    Hopefully they can get game broadcasting working on Linux, too.

    It’s so dumb how game streaming and remote play together, work, but if someone just wants to watch, no can do.

      But Live broadcasting/streaming works right from Steam without third party tools. I did that years ago: https://steamcommunity.com/?subsection=broadcasts Or was it not on Linux? Right now I can setup and broadcast and the stream appears as Live (0 viewers). And when clicking the stream in Steam client or in browser, would not start playing. But I could swear it did years ago.

        Yeah no it doesn’t work on Linux. AFAIK never has. It’s almost like it’s supposed to, but it doesn’t if you actually try.
