On PC Steam I can filter my Library by Video to see the 50+ movies I own on Steam. (In case you don’t know, back in the day Steam used to sell and rent movies.) I created a Category for them and moved them all into it. On the Deck I can see that Category but nothing is in it.
Yesterday I added the 3 videos for ‘Making of Horizon Zero Dawn’ to my Steam account. I can see those on my Home page on the Deck right now at the top in the recent list, so I know it’s entirely possible to access Steam movies from the Deck. But on the Deck I can’t find any way to see the other videos I own.
I’ve searched the net and I can’t find a solution. Is this just something they haven’t added / don’t plan to add support for? Is there any way to work around it?
But I can watch them from the PC Steam app and it opens them in my default web browser. You would think they could open a browser widget on the Deck to play them without breaking any legal contracts.
I just thought of it… I bet I can go to the Deck Desktop Mode and use the Steam app there to watch them.
Don’t see it happening. Glad to know I was at least on the right track there. Have you tried them using a web browser?
When I’m logged into the official Steam website (PC browser) I can see all of my games but none of my movies. The only place I can see my movies is in the PC Steam app. From there I click Play on one of them and it launches my default web browser and I can watch it there. I guess I could bookmark all of those url’s and sync my bookmarks to a browser on the Deck in Desktop Mode then install the browser as a non-Steam game and try running it in Deck Mode…
