How To Use Steam Game Recording Beta To Record Your CS2 Gameplay

Effortlessly Record and Share Your Best Counter-Strike 2 Moments

On June 27th, Valve officially unveiled the open beta of ‘Steam Game Recording’, a new Steam feature that will enable players on the platform to record their games and share their highlights with their friends.

This feature is especially useful if you’re into competitive games like Counter-Strike 2. Users opting into the Steam Game Recording Beta can capture high-quality gameplay seamlessly in the background, conserving system resources. On top of that, they’re also able to then share their best kills, clutch moments, and aces with other players using “a timeline auto-filled with game-defined markers, like kills and deaths”.

Since the Steam Game Recording Beta is an extremely new feature, users on the platform can find themselves getting confused about how to properly use it. In this article, we take a look at how you can use the Steam Game Recording Beta to automatically capture your CS2 gameplay and effortlessly share it with your friends.

How To Record Your CS2 Gameplay With Steam Game Recording Beta

To use the new Steam Game Recording, you’ll need to enable the feature first by opting into its beta:

  • Launch Steam.
  • Click on ‘Steam’ at the top-left and head over to the ‘Settings’ tab.
  • Click on ‘interface’ and navigate to the ‘Client Beta Participation’.
  • Select the ‘Steam Beta Update’.
  • Restart Steam to install the update.
  • Once Steam has been updated, you can go to Settings once again and select ‘Game Recording’.
  • You’ll then be able to hit ‘Record in Background’ or ‘Record on Demand’.

If you select ‘Record in Background’, Steam will automatically capture your CS2 gameplay in the background, but only the last 120 minutes of footage will be kept.

The ‘Record on Demand’ feature needs the player to set a specific hotkey (CTRL + F11 by default) to start recording. All recordings are automatically saved as clips.

That’s everything you need to know about the new Steam Game Recording Beta feature. Do note that you may experience a slight decrease in FPS upon enabling this feature, but many players have reported the drop in FPS to be almost negligible when compared to other recording options.
