Automatic Achievement screenshots
So, from my knowledge this is not implemented at all in Steam, so i guess this would be not only be related to the Steam Deck.

However i am kinda spoiled by the PlayStation and i enjoy when it takes a screenshot automatically when i unlock a trophy there. Can sometimes result in some very nice screenshots right in the action.

Having an option for the Deck to do the same would be great!

If it's not a steam deck feature request why would you put it in the steam deck forum? lol

Well it’s technically both I guess.

Just thought about the Deck first, but is there a Feature Request forum for Steam itself too?

This is a really good idea! Not thought of it before since I've never used a PlayStation, but I think I would really enjoy such a feature.
Only downside I can think of is that you'd end up with a bunch of screenshots of the same thing when multiple achievements are triggered at once.

Apparently, yes. No idea if anyone actually monitors it though.

It actually is a nice thing.

Yeah sure, on some games you get mostly black screens, since e.g. chapter trophies unlock during the fade out of a cutscene. Or you can get the same screenshot 2-3 times, since multi trophy unlocks at the same time.

But i also saw games e.g. Days Gone which actually manipulated the chapter trophy screenshot by pushing something from a cutscene it, so the screenshot is not from the actual second but from the cutscene a couple seconds before. Would be cool to have something similiar.

I will look into creating the same topic again on the steam request forum, thanks :)

I just wanted to let you know this actually exists on the program is called Steam achievement notifier. It can take a photo of your screen As you get the achievement and you can even set a delay

Thanks. Though it seems Valve implements this now themselves as the newest beta has a recording feature for video clips but also creating screenshots / videoclips in the moment you get an achievement.

I must've missed that in the patch notes and can't seem to find anything about it in the settings at a glance. Where do I enable that?

I admit I don’t have the Beta installed. But it has been added in the most recent Beta steam client a few days ago.

According to the website. After you opted into the beta, it is apparently under “settings -> game recording”

Apparently, when you get an Achievemt, a “marker” gets set so you can save that moment in a clip / screenshot.

At least that’s how I am understanding it.

Doesn't look like there's a setting to auto-create a photo/video yet; did I miss the feature, or do you have to right-click on the achievement in the timeline, and hope it's still in your buffer by the time you get to it?
