How to record video in Steam
Why record in Steam when there are better options? Just use something like OBS or ShadowPlay directly. They offer more control and features for your videos anyway.

Actually, Steam doesn't have a built-in option for video recording. You gotta use other programs. I always go with Nvidia's ShadowPlay if you've got a compatible graphics card. It's super easy and doesn't tank your FPS.
Recording videos in Steam itself isn't a direct feature, but you can easily use Steam's overlay to access third-party software for that. Just hit Shift+Tab while in-game to bring up the overlay, and you can start your preferred recording software from there. If you're looking for a quick suggestion, OBS Studio integrates really well and it's free!
