Hey there! To add a custom boot video on your Steam Deck, just place your video file in the 'steamui' directory under '.local/share/Steam/steamui/videos/'. Name it 'deck_startup.webm' and you're good to go!

Had the same question! I just tested it and it worked perfectly. Create your video in .webm format and place it in '.local/share/Steam/steamui/videos/' directory, named 'deck_startup.webm'. Enjoy the custom boot!
