Fuck yeah - there have been some great homebrew plugins for this, but having a dedicated tool with the ability to trim clips is awesome.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Another big upgrade for Steam desktop and Steam Deck fans, with Game Recording now in Beta allowing you to easily clip your favourite moments with no external apps needed.

It even makes sharing the clips relatively simple too with you being able to send it to different devices, like from a Steam Deck to desktop PC.

Valve said to expect more “upcoming features, including individualized game settings (coming soon)”.

Here’s a quick clip I recorded directly via Steam on my Kubuntu Linux desktop (game is Rack and Slay):

And a clip recorded from my Steam Deck LCD 512GB, which I then used the built-in feature to send it to my desktop and upload (game is Brotato):

Pictured - me editing the Brotato video clip included above, directly on Steam Deck.

I’ve been using it. Biggest issue is microphone recording. They did a hot fix for it just not recording your mic. But now that it works, it cuts out, which seems to be common. I may need to tweak my steam voice settings but they looked fine to me. Everything else about it is pretty great so far.
