How to Record Video on Steam

Best Answer

Recording gameplay on Steam itself is kinda tricky since Steam doesn't have a built-in feature for video recording. But, no worries! You can use the overlay feature to access third-party software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), which is free and pretty popular among gamers. Just launch OBS before you start your game, and you're all set to record or even stream your gameplay!

Hot take: Who needs to record directly through Steam? Just hit up OBS or any other screen recording tool and you're golden. Plus, they offer more features.

Honestly, just press Windows + G on your keyboard to open up the Xbox Game Bar if you're running Windows 10 or later. It's super easy for quick recordings and you don't need to install anything extra if you're just looking for simple gameplay clips.
