June 27 (Portaltic/EP) –
Valve has announced a tool that is natively integrated into the latest Steam Deck software update and allows you to record games in the background with automatic saving on the console itself.
The company has recognized that “a clip is worth a thousand words” and, therefore, has developed a set of features aimed at “immortalizing highlights” or “document entire campaigns.”
Understanding that it should be “search, save and share moments”, it has developed four new features to record what happens on the console during game time, as explained in his web page.
The first of these is the tool that allows you to record in the background, a format that is saved live wherever the user chooses, without exceeding the limits of duration and storage that are previously specified.
This also introduces a manual recording mode, so that the user can decide when a recording starts and when it ends. In addition, this solution is accompanied by a timeline or Steam Timeline, which generates event markers when relevant events happen.
Thanks to these dividers, the different recorded moments can be reviewed at any time, while the timeline changes appearance depending on the moment in which the game is.
With this latest beta for Steam Deck it is also possible to save and share these video clips, either during the game or after playing in MP4 format and through the application Steam Mobile or with a QR code; either from the PC to the smartphone or from the console to the computer.
Valve has commented that video recording works with all games, even non-Steam games, and that it takes advantage of the dedicated video encoding hardware of the AMD or Nvidia GPU to minimize CPU usage.
He also stressed that this feature only records the games, not the desktop interface of the computer and selects which audio channels are included, respecting the privacy of the players.
