For both Steam desktop and Steam Deck, Valve released a fresh Steam Beta update that includes more improvements for the awesome new Game Recording feature.
What I really want from it is just a quick record shortcut that only captures the last minute or 3 like the consoles have. I don’t want to have to go back later and save it after marking it.
That’s the feature I’m hoping for. Maybe I’m misunderstanding how the constant record feature works, but I really only want to keep maybe the last 5-10 minutes in temp storage, but it’s holding way longer than that for me.
I have a suspicion that was omitted purposefully to prevent people from just sharing their raw saved replays. Since if you have to clip you’ll never end up with people sharing full minute videos where the interesting bit was the last five seconds.
This is of course just my own supposition from assuming they had a reason for the omission and thinking about what that reason might be

There is a decky plugin for that, although it adds about 1w of power usage to have it enabled.
