How to Record Gameplay on the Steam Deck
So you wanna be the next big thing in gaming streams with your Steam Deck, huh? Easy peasy! The Steam Deck itself doesn't come with built-in recording or streaming capabilities, but fear not, tech warrior! You can use a capture card to record your gameplay. Just connect the Steam Deck to a capture card, and then to your PC. Software like OBS Studio will let you capture all the action live or save it for an epic montage later.

Actually, there's another way that doesn't need extra gear. You can use the Steam Deck's Desktop Mode to install and run any compatible software directly, including screen recording apps. This way, you can record without needing a PC or a capture card. Just be mindful of the performance impact on your game.
Just hit the record button on a capture card. It's the simplest solution.
