Saving X videos on Steam Deck: what to know
On the Steam Deck, saving X videos happens in Desktop Mode with a full browser such as Firefox or Chrome from the Discover store. Gamers often save gameplay clips to use as custom boot videos. The 720p version matches the Deck’s 800p screen and saves space on the SSD.
- Use Desktop Mode; Gaming Mode’s browser can’t save files
- Steam + X opens the on-screen keyboard
- 720p matches the screen and keeps files small
Where are the videos saved on Steam Deck?
In Desktop Mode, downloads go to /home/deck/Downloads, reachable from the Dolphin file manager.
A downloaded clip can become a custom startup movie once converted to WebM and copied to ~/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies.
Save only the audio on Steam Deck
Every video result has an MP3 button, plus an M4A button for the untouched original audio. The conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Audio files play in Desktop Mode with any installed player, such as Elisa or VLC from the Discover store.
Tips for Steam Deck users
- The Steam Deck’s 800p screen is matched perfectly by the 720p version, which saves space on the SSD.
- Press Steam + X to bring up the on-screen keyboard if you need to type instead of paste.
- Game clips posted on X make great custom boot videos. Download the 720p version to match the Deck’s screen.
- A microSD card can hold your downloads if internal storage is tight.

Frequently asked questions
Can I watch downloaded clips in Gaming Mode on Steam Deck?
Add a video player such as VLC as a non-Steam game, then open the clip from Gaming Mode.
Can I download X videos in Gaming Mode on Steam Deck?
Downloads are easiest in Desktop Mode with a full browser. Gaming Mode’s built-in browser can’t save files.
Can I use a downloaded clip as a boot video on Steam Deck?
Yes. Convert the MP4 to WebM (the format SteamOS expects for startup movies), copy it to ~/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies, then pick it in Settings › Customization.
Can I download videos from private (protected) accounts?
No. Protected posts are only visible to approved followers, and SaveXClips doesn’t bypass that.
Is SaveXClips free?
Yes. Downloading videos, GIFs, photos and audio is free, with no account and no daily limit.
Is it legal to download videos from X?
Saving a public video for personal, offline viewing is widely accepted, but the content still belongs to its creator. Don’t re-upload or use it commercially without permission.
