Here’s how to assign the button on your Xbox controller for screenshots in Steam:

1. Enable Xbox Configuration Support:
- Open Steam, go to Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings.
- Check the box for Xbox Configuration Support.

2. Assign the Screenshot Button:
- Launch the game in Steam.
- Press Shift + Tab to open the Steam Overlay.
- Select Controller Configuration.
- Find the button you want to assign (e.g., the middle lower button) and set it to the Take Screenshot action.

3. Set a Global Screenshot Button:
- Go to Steam Settings > In-Game.
- Make sure a screenshot hotkey is assigned (default is F12).
- In the Controller Configuration, map your button to trigger F12.

4. Test in Game:
- After configuring, return to the game and press the button to check if it takes a screenshot.

If it still doesn’t work for some games, they might not support Steam Overlay or controller remapping. You can try adding the game as a "Non-Steam Game" in your library or use third-party software like JoyToKey to map the button globally.

No worries! Let me guide you to find the Controller Configuration in Steam:

1. Enable Big Picture Mode:
- Open Steam.
- In the top-right corner, click the Big Picture Mode icon (it looks like a square with two arrows pointing out).
- This mode makes it easier to find controller settings.

2. Find Controller Configuration for a Specific Game:
- While in Big Picture Mode, go to your Library and select the game you want to configure.
- Click Manage Game (you’ll see this on the game’s page).
- Select Controller Configuration.

3. Map the Screenshot Button:
- In the Controller Configuration screen, you’ll see a layout of your controller.
- Select the button you want to configure (e.g., the middle lower button).
- Assign it to the Take Screenshot action or map it to the F12 key.

4. Save and Test:
- Once you’ve assigned the action, save the configuration.
- Launch the game and press the button to check if it works.

If you’re not in Big Picture Mode, you can also right-click the game in your Library, go to Properties, and look for Controller Settings there. Let me know if you need more help!

The year is 2025 and there's no "General Controller Settings" in steam controller settings.

Found it. First make sure to "Enable Guide Button Chords for controllers" as this will activate another set of input for your operating system when you hold the "Guild Button" i.e. "Xbox Button". Then scroll down to "Guide Button Chord Layout", where you can assign alternative actions for all other buttons while holding it.

Tbh this is way better than the shift toggle in official Microsoft Xbox Accessories app since that one requires you to dedicate a button just for shift which disables its normal function.. Shame on Microsoft cound't figure out this idea themseves to use guide button to toggle. Valve clearly noticed this issue so they made this setting applies globally as long as Steam is running in your background.

All hail our lord Gaben!

Steam settings > Controller > "enable guide button chords for controllers" <--- Toggle it on.

While still on that page > click edit button for "Guide button chord layout" > new window pop up > click button edit layout > this is important, SELECT WHICH button you want to be using to take screenshot by clicking on menu for one of the buttons, you want to change it to "take screenshot" this is found under "system" for inputs.


Once you have set it up, you hold down the Xbox button and button you selected to take a screenshot in-game that basically it. This works when steam overlay is active for the game.

If want to do it for desktop instead, instead of doing "Guide button chord layout" you do this for "desktop layout" hope this helps.

I figured it out earlier but still thank you. As an added bonus, the Guide button chord layout also works on desktop (At least it works for keyboard-mapping).
