Game Recording Beta - Black Screen
Steam has released their new Game Recording feature (https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording) in their beta channel. Running Bazzite on my PC Desktop and all my videos are black with just audio.
Steps to recreate:
1. In Settings change Steam Client channel to Beta and reboot.
2. In Video Recording settings set the recording mode to background
3. Wait two minutes
4. Click the red "recording" button in Gaming Mode.
5. Try to playback the footage and see black video.

I have not been able to find a solution, but game recording works perfectly for me as long as the game or app plays nicely with steam overlay. This is both in desktop and game mode. However, the moment I play something like retroarch or emulated games (Emudeck) game recording only shows a black screen with audio.
If I restar my computer Game Recording goes back to normal as long as it's a proper game and not something running in retroarch or emulators.
we do not control steam and to me this sounds like an issue with steam not the OS as all the tools to do the recording would be provided by steam and controlled by steam
