If someone told me you two were brothers, I wouldn't blink twice.

[@MatthiasTTV]

Except they look nothing alike besides being white men?

[@RC-1290]

It's a good thing they're wearing slightly differently colored polos

[@EthicalAllele]

What game is that at 14:09? It’s the one where they show a vehicle with an ice cream cone.

[@nortonmc6127]

I'm not a programmer or anything like that, but after watching this, I'm really looking forward to using this feature in my gameplay. Great job to everyone who worked on this.

[@TylerMcVicker1]

Hey! It's that guy who gave the talk at Digipen about doors in VR! It's Door Guy!

[@archlocker]

Guess he's opened a new door in valve. 😅

[@Robotainment]

„I‘m programming door physics.“

[@KetRalus]

This is cool but my game is written in C# with Unity. Guess I'm SOL.

[@XDRosenheim]

Valve continuing to crush competition. """competition""" I mean.

[@Simte]

This is huge! Thank you Valve.

[@Restoe3D]

It would be really cool if we able to share the clip to the community like we share our screenshots from the game

[@DigitalComputingOfficial]

You can.

[@Restoe3D]

@@DigitalComputingOfficial nope, i've tried it, we can only share to our friends via chat

[@DigitalComputingOfficial]

@@Restoe3D It also has an option for sharing to Steam, right? I've seen it.

[@Restoe3D]

@@DigitalComputingOfficial i know, but thats only the link, not the clip

[@FranciscoSciaraffia]

Hey, would you guys be into making a video about how to use steamworks natively in the unreal engine? epic has never handled it very well and i'd like to learn how to use it. I'm sure there's a lot of indie devs who'd love a video like that, it has always been such an obscure topic.

[@StBlueFire]

This would be great. We've done it a few times and there are always gotchas that we run into. Or even a native plugin that makes the nodes available in blueprints would be a big add if they wanted to go even farther.

[@wizardly]

Does the recording have any impact on game performance?

[@SebHighDef]

not really if you do it through the gpu

[@cupcaker]

@@SebHighDef maybe worth to mention if someone thinks this cant be true: video encoding runs on a separate chip on the gpu (or cpu) and thats why game performance should not be affected

[@YuriSizov]

To add to what has been said already, disk I/O may be a bigger limiting factor than GPU/CPU. Usually background recorders like that have two ways of keeping your session recorded: on disk and in RAM. Not sure yet what Steam does and whether they offer it as an option, but obviously using disks for cache would be slower and a potential bottleneck. I would probably disable Shadowplay/AMD's thing if I was to use Steam's recorder - to avoid taxing your system double time.

[@SebHighDef]

@@YuriSizov steam is using disk storage only. but it shouldnt really matter with either using an ssd or another drive than the one running the game

[@aviatedviewssound4798]

@@YuriSizov Yuri! what's up my bro.

[@MashedStar]

OH MY GOD ITS REAL?! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@Aarkwrite]

Please include streaming to other services in addition to game DVR 🙏🏾

[@MatthewMason13]

I love this feature. Please allow separate audio tracks for different audio sources!

[@sbalazstibor]

Do we get VR-support as well? It would be nice if i can start a recording with a button combo on my index controller.

[@pledger6197]

There are two modes: first one is "Record in background" which records last X minutes, so you can click some button and save this, or "Record on demand" where you must turn it manually. I think it functions like Nvidia's ShadowPlay where it records your screen, so I doubt that this currently works for VR that is not duplicated to the PC's screen, but I haven't tried it yet.

[@sbalazstibor]

@@pledger6197 I tried it. I was able to record a 6min clip while playing HL:A. But i only able to start a recording on keyboard. So it's a bit finicky at the moment.

[@PastaEngineer]

Is there any ways to access those recordings from code in the game? If someone has the feature enabled, I could use it to show replays of the highlights of the round while showing the score screen.

[@HDeDeDe]

Haven't had the chance to really get into the Steam SDK myself yet but this looks like this is really easy to work with, blows every other DVR service out of the water with the ease of use on both the dev side and from what I've experienced, the user side.

[@DrKillerLetsPlay]

Seems like a great feature, specially for challenging or competitive games, love it. This video will be saved on the user PC right? ..is there a way to use a cloud or something like it?

[@khall]

guys it is just me or is this guy the same guy on the sfm tutorial series? maybe his voice change a bit I dunno

[@alexleonardkrea]

That is very cool!

[@justvid366]

So you're not related?

[@darkmattergamesofficial]

Hmm, I hope this doesn't have a huge performance overhead. Steam overlay already causes problems for some players

[@TechnoSyndro]

Why are my clips just suddenly not being recognized in Steam despite having the files still saved on my deck

[@ganonscrub]

This is sick

[@DelGray]

I'm still watching the video and I'm not near my home PC, does this work on VR games?

[@AyesC9000]

I don't see any mention of VR support right now so I assume not. I hope we get that in the future though.

[@Ascendance2001]

It says on the Steam page for it that it works with any Steam game

[@Jagerbomber]

NICE FRAMERATE

[@XDRosenheim]

Hey hey... Small indie studio.

[@Enemby]

How do you record a clip on steam deck? Can't figure it out after enabling the beta

[@Moskeeto]

Go to settings > game recording. If you enable record on demand then Steam + A will start and stop a recording.

[@BenLubar]

Hi Kerry! 👋

[@thatoneluna]

huge!

[@danx494]

why do they look like a couple

[@person1860]

Wait, what? More reasons to justify the 30% cut valve takes?

[@RealGamingSloth]

As i like to say: those who feel it's too much - are not using Steam to its full potential.

[@gdot1803]

And Valve is giving all these features to Steam players for free, same with cloud saves, etc. They deserve the % cut they get because it goes towards making Steam the absolute best gaming platform.

[@RealGamingSloth]

Well, not for free, for 30% cut (down to 25-20 for big successful projects), but the point is - everything is included and available for the developer to try out and integrate, you don't need to pay extra, request access, rent servers, be some big studio to be eligible, etc

[@TheSh466Y]

Justifying the 30% cut. Nice add, Steam!!!

[@ussul6524]

is it turned on in TF2 now? I never seen any update.

vac is problem with all valve games. It sucks BIG time. Cheaters everywhere. Would be better of with easy anti cheat bc valve cannot make a working one.
