Steam Clip Recording With Background Recording Seemingly Being Worked On, SteamDB Creator Says

Valve is still actively working on Steam clip recording, according to SteamDB creator and dataminer Pavel Djundik.

That's what Djundik wrote on X some hours ago. Apparently, the Steam feature will allow users to share clips via the Steam community in a similar fashion as screenshots. Steam users can already take in-game screenshots by pressing the F12 key in games that run the Steam Overlay. Players can then share these screenshots with a player's Steam community. In addition, players can share the shots on social media. This feature was made available back in 2011 after a short beta period. Currently, Steam users have 1GB of cloud space per user account. This space is used for the aforementioned screenshots, game settings, save games, profile stats, and more.

Clip recording is said to offer support for background recording. In addition, the clip recording feature is said to offer timeline markers in supported titles for various in-game events. A comparable feature is already available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox, where the console automatically records a clip whenever achievements unlock. On X, Djundik also shared some additional screenshots of this feature, which we've included below.

At the moment, Steam users need to make use of Microsoft's Game Bar record feature, third-party tools, or NVIDIA's and AMD's video capture tools in the GPU drivers. No additional details about the feature have been shared just yet. We'll update you as soon as we learn more.
