Can't upload any screenshots or footage from games

I used to enjoy taking screenshots in games on Steam, but for months now I have not been able to upload a single screenshot no matter how many times I try.

Noticed that it's now possible to record in-game videos using Steam. Great, except it's the same crappy thing: it doesn't work. Well, it records the footage, but you cannot upload it anywhere. Even worse than screenshots, you can't save the video in a normal format for viewing outside of Steam. They're just stuck in some kind of internal Steam version. What is the point?

Does anyone know a fix for any of this? I'd love to go back to sharing screenshots with my friends, but I haven't been able to do that for ages and it's the same story with this new recording feature as well.

The new recording capability is a little janky but I've been able to share clips with friends. It does not use the same resources that screenshots do, but it can be done.

That's good, I'm glad you were able to get it working. For me it recorded the clips fine (I used the manual option), though the recorded audio is quite choppy, but I cannot do anything with them now anyway. Same thing with screenshots.
