Tag friends in screenshots

[[ITA]Piso]

It would be nice if there was the option to tag friends when you post a screenshot.

TF2 has this function. It is an option game devs can add to their games already.

If I can disable it so that I can't be tagged unless I am at least asked to confirm it.

Yeah sometimes I would really like to tag my friends when I take screenshot when we play together.

Absolutely agree.

Only if its optional and off by default. I don't want to get tagged and annoyed with messages about it. As mentioned its already a thing, the developers of the games have to include it in their games, so you need to go ask them in their games discussion areas to include it in their games.

Sorry but I dont understand, why should be the developers to add this feature? I mean, if I take a screenshot with Steam it should be a Steam feature to let me tag a friend from my friend's list and then he/she accept or not to be tagged.

Because the GAME ITSELF needs to tell Steam that X person was in the screenshot that was just taken.

Valve can not alter the game because they do not have the source code. They provide the resources needed for their end and the code that has to be included in the games code.

Its just like achievements, the game itself has to tell Valve that an achievement was just achieved, which achievement it was and at what time.

The game would have to detect that Steams screenshot button was pressed, then it has to say X person was on the screen at the time of the screenshot. Steam just doesn't automatically know that X person was in the shot.
