Seeing screenshots you were in

[n0mad]

As the title is really, I swear I remember there was a way of seeing this, but can't seem to find it.
Can you see screenshots which you were tagged in, by people who aren't your friends on steam?
E.G if someone takes a screenshot of a game ending scoreboard on CS:GO, and you were present in that game - could you find that screenshot by going somewhere?

I'm pretty sure that's not a thing, would be pretty cool though, you might want to consider posting it in the Suggestions/Ideas hub (link below).

Seeing Screenshots you were tagged in

An option somewhere in the community that takes you to a page where you can see all the screenshots you were tagged in.

If your steam profile was in that game, for instance, a game of CS:GO where someone takes a screenshot of the scoreboard, you can find that screenshot.

Not just your friends, but anyone who takes a SS.

Not extremely neccessary, but would be a cool and interesting feature.

Yeah, no. How easy do you think that is? its hard

Not hard at all lmfao. Using my example, if someone takes a screenshot of a scoreboard, the screenshot then just tags the 9 other steam profiles which were connected in the game. Or stores it in the possible section of 'screenshots i was tagged in'

Screenshots already tell us the exact date, time, file size, creator - and we can see when we're in game who we're currently playing with - who we played with in the past. Valve is a company worth multiple-billions, if you don't think they have a small team, or a singular person who could implement something of this simplicity in under a day, then... idk.

If someone takes a pic of you in game and uploads it then it appears in your activity feed. Even if that person isnt on your friends list.

It works for Team Fortress 2. Not sure about other games.

I thought i'd seen it once - but definitely not many times, especially on the games I play.

Never going to happen. This would start sending spam to lots of people who don't care or don't want it. I know I don't want to get notified every time some random person that I played with in a game takes a screen shot of the scoreboard. In some cases that could be dozens of games in a single night. I would at most only want to get something like this from friends and thats it.

Also It would have to be built into the game, so you would have to build into the game something that would let steam know that you are looking at the scoreboard at the time the screenshot was taken. This means asking every dev to update their games with it. Along with getting Valve to do it and getting valve to put in stuff to help people stop receiving spam.

Not to shut down your whole first paragraph, but a simple 'unsubscribe from these notifications' just like you can do on this discussion would suffice, no?

I think n0mad has a really good point actually, if someone would be annoyed by it the would simply be able to unsub or just not look at their "Screenshots you were tagged in".

It's already a feature in steam.


Here is an example. It names the steam user in the shot and that image appears on the users activity feed.

I also just saw this, had no idea it was a thing. I don't know if the player got tagged automatically or he actually tagged him himself.

It's automatic. It's been a feature in steam for several years now.

But how come only one person gets tagged then?

[eram]

It automatically tries to focus on the main part of the action and selects 1 user from the image. Normally the one in the centre.

1- it's fully automated
2- you cant edit it
3- the user in the image cant add anything to the tags

Ooooh so because his crosshair is on the player (yolo_baby) that's the guy who gets tagged?
