how to record gameplay on pc on Steam: I use VokoscreenNG because it allows you to capture the game window or a selected area of the screen without any complicated setup. It’s also an open-source screen recording program that supports Windows, Mac, and Linux.
How to Record Gameplay on a PC on Steam
- Download and install the software from an official source.
- Launch the program and open the recording settings.
- Select the screen or area where the Steam game is running.
- Choose whether to record system audio, microphone audio, or both.
- Adjust the video quality and output settings as needed.
- Launch the Steam game and click Record in the software.
- When the recording is complete, stop the recording and view the saved video in the selected output folder.
Note:
- When recording PC games on Steam, we recommend first testing the recording area and audio settings with a short video, especially when the game is running in full-screen mode.
Based on my experience, the software is better suited for simple game recording rather than complex live streaming setups, but it does provide the basic controls needed for both screen and audio recording.
