Show Friends What You See in Your Steam Frame

Here’s how to show friends what you see in your Steam Frame, and how to record Steam Frame gameplay. It’s one of the tips from my full video on the ten things to do first with the headset.

The live view is a little hidden. On iOS or Android, open the Steam Link app and connect to your Frame, and the phone shows what you see in the headset. On a PC, open Steam, go to Settings and Remote Play, and click Connect next to your Frame.

To record, the Frame has its own recording tool, but it only works while you’re in a game: click the game’s icon at the bottom left and choose Game Recording. I found it hard to get those recordings off the headset, though.

So I also recommend StReam Frame, a third-party app by Boxtree. It’s free on Mac and Windows and records MP4s with your game audio and your mic. It does need Developer Mode set up with an SSH user password, and their setup guide walks you through it.

My other tips are in the full video.
