If we are using a controller, thanks to the Steam controller configuration we will also be able to change this behavior.
We will place ourselves in the «In the game» category, and we will simply click on the keyboard shortcut box and press the key (or keys) that we want. To do this, we just have to open Steam, and click on the Steam menu> Parameters.
And we can’t deactivate it either, although we can change the F12 key to another key that we want. This feature is available to all Steam users by default. There is no need to install or configure anything. In this way, while we are playing any game (both launched from Big Picture mode and normal), we can press this key on our keyboard to make an automatic capture and save it in the default folder. How to take a screenshot on Steamīy default, when we install Steam for the first time, the program takes control of one of the keys that, normally, are not used by the operating system: F12. Many games also have systems DRM that prevent these programs from capturing key moments in history.Īll these problems disappear when using the Steam screenshot tool. The image can be spoiled if we have bad luck, but we are also launching a program over our game (which can give errors, or set off the alarms of anti-cheat programs), we will lose game performance and, in addition, if you have live editing, it will be cumbersome. Third-party programs have more or less the same problems as using the Windows screen capture tool. We can use the shortcut Windows + Print Screen to save it as a file, but it takes more time. In addition, Windows only saves the capture to the clipboard by default, so if we make another one later, we will lose the first one. First of all, we run the risk that, when taking the capture, two half frames are captured, spoiling it. However, neither the Windows tool nor third-party programs are recommended for taking screenshots of games. And besides, there are a lot of programs (like ShareX) that allow us to also take captures and edit them live. Windows has its own tool for taking screenshots.
