Can users post video reviews on Steam?
I was thinking of posting in the suggestions forum but I wasn't sure if such a feature exists.
I think it'd be great that instead of just written reviews we are also allowed to post video reviews of games, I personally find it easier to express myself in video and show what I feel is important as opposed to just written text.

When I posted about my youtube channel here I got modded for advertising despite it being no profit and all so I don't want to link to that ever again, but I would definitely love to do video reviews on Steam, just upload the reviews here so they're not associated with youtube or anything.

There might be such an option, I'm not very tech savvy and have little patience for looking through sites that tend to boggle my mind lol I see the community pages do have some videos and such but I have yet to find video reviews.

There are quite a few reviews with a link to a video. If you have linked it with your Steam account, you can include it like artwork or screenshots.

Personally I find it annoying. Either I want to read reviews on Steam or I go to YouTube directly to watch them. And in the later case I don't care about some random dude's video of unknow quality and information value.

I personally prefer watching reviews over reading them, I work as an illustrator for children's books AND am legally blind to boot so at the end of the day my eyes are very very tired, so kicking back and listening and casually watching a review is much more enjoyable to me.

It's also the reason I prefer dubbed over subbed anime, back in the day when I didn't work I would watch subs and all, but now my eyes are too tired for that :) So going from that I assumed that more people might appreciate video reviews.

I'm not familiar with how this linking accounts thing goes, I don't want to mess up and get banned here or on youtube.
My youtube channel for now is 100% non profit and chances are it will stay that way

So far I have reviews for Tales of Zestiria and Dragon Quest Heroes, how do I go about posting them here without getting modded?

I mean i have other reviews too just not of Steam games

Thanks for the info, I was able to add my Dragon Quest Heroes Review so here's hoping I don't get banned or something for it.
It seems once you add a video unless you associate it with a game beforehand you can't associate it with one after adding it, so that's a bummer but I removed and re-added the video and now it appears on the Dragon Quest Heroes Community page

This really motivates me to make more Steam review videos and not just retro game or console video reviews :D
