Valve Working on Clip Recording and Sharing in Steam Client - Steam Deck HQ
steamdeckhq.com
Valve could be working on being able to record clips directly in Steam/on the Steam Deck if this rumor is to be believed.

According to some data mining from the guy who runs SteamDB:

Steam is still working on clip recording. It supports background recording, includes timeline markers in supported games for various events.

Clips can be shared similar to screenshots, via the Steam community.

We don’t actually have any proof that this will be coming to Steam Deck yet, but I’m pretty optimistic that it would.

I recommend clicking through to the article, it has several screenshots showing how the feature will look.

    The Decky recorder plugin lets you do this now, but having the feature turned on adds about 1w of power draw.

      Yep, that’s roughly what I’m seeing. If you’re playing a very light game where the battery would have lasted 7 hours, you will definitely notice the extra drain. If you’re playing a game where the battery was shooting for 3 hours, it makes very little difference.
