Yeah, I get that, but that's also true of Steam Link and Steam's general streaming solution (which I presume is what this is using) and it's trivial to get a different window to show up or even to get to the desktop from the in-game streaming, particularly if you have a non-Steam app in your library.

So yeah, it's gonna be on demand recordings from me... assuming the quality holds up (Nvidia's kinda sucks). Otherwise that's what OBS is for.

This won't be possible with Wayland. It'll be possible on Xorg desktops but Wayland has explicit separation of permissions per-window and must be granted as such by the user (or on steam's gamemode, probably automatically will target the game window's surface/gamescope instance)
