How to take a video on Steam

Best Answer

To record a video on Steam, you'll need to use external software since Steam itself doesn't have a built-in feature for video recording. Many Steam users recommend OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) for its flexibility and it's free! You can download OBS, set it up to capture your game, and hit record while you play. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Steam doesn't directly support video recording, so grab a tool like FRAPS, Nvidia ShadowPlay if you're on Nvidia GPUs, or AMD ReLive for AMD graphics card users. These programs are gamer favorites for capturing those epic gameplay moments without much fuss.

Just press the 'Print Screen' key and hope for the best... Just kidding! Seriously, use OBS or ShadowPlay. They're the go-to for a reason!

Honestly, Steam should just add a record button. Until then, OBS is your best friend.
