Facecam Feature for Steam
Quick suggestion for Steam, which I believe to be a pretty good one, would be a Facecam feature for Steam which allows you to record Facecams when you're recording gameplay.
I think it'll be a good addition since I like to record a lot of games, and upload them to YouTube and to have a simple wau of doing that would be amazing.
If this feeture was to get implemented, it should be put into the ♥♥♥♥+Tab place for easy access when playing games.
This would be really great and fun to use, and I know by fact that many people would probably use it

Well first they need to make a recording at all no? :D:

Any way i do not think its worth for Valve to do it..

Any way what software do you use for recording? some have a Face Cam thing build in
I use Bandicam coz it's easiest to use IMO, and I don't really like the third party software like xFire. Since the achievements appear in OpenGL, I was think that the FaceCam do the same. I would really like a feature like this in Steam, and it'll be fun and easier for recording YT vids as well

I can understand that... but things like these is not easy to make.. and really i do not think Valve are that good to make that..
Even more i am not sure its worth there time right now...

What i will say maybe try to use OBS[obsproject.com]? you can add more then one source of Video so you can set one for the camera.. (it is made also for live Streaming little sittings and it will be set for recording)

You will need to run OBS as admin and set it to record game... it has these sense thing for that...

Hope it helps you to set it up
