How to use steam game recording for VR?

[CaptainMorghan]

I'm losing my mind here as to why this doesnt work by default one of two issues happens nothing records or it records video and not audio never both, i want to make clips for friends from beatsaber but nothing is working and I can't find any guides anywhere, I've tried launching beatsaber first I've tried every setting of left eye right eye both eyes manual recording background recording nothing works, sometimes it will randomly record just fine for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason or sometimes it will without any audio, I've tried mirrorings audio capturing all pc audio filtering out programs like discord nothing works. Anyone know how to get this feature to work consistantly? and no I don't want to use another program like obs or streamlabs that takes too much of my gpu

I definitely won't mention that Windows Game Bar (which you already have, hit win-g to bring it up) will record FO4VR (demanding game) on a GTX 970 (weak GPU)(showing it takes no noticeable GPU), and gets video and sound from the desktop mirror window.

The program Lossless Cut (https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut) will let you do a quick crop to the nearest keyframe without re-encoding the whole clip.

is there a way of using Steam Record ?

Take a dive through the Steam / Settings / Game Recording
Ensure any utilities and other apps are set to DO NOT RECORD. (think OVR Toolkit, etc).
Then manually set the game you want to record... settings. Duration, quality, etc.

I can't get the hotkeys to work though. Like F12 should capture the last 30 seconds as a clip but doesn't.

Thank you! This worked!
