Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When taking a screenshot of a non Steam game and trying to upload it, a notification appears saying "Failed to upload screenshot" Screenshots of Steam games or of the SteamOS UI upload without issue.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Add a non Steam game to the Deck
2. Take a screenshot with Steam + R1
3. Try uploading it to Steam
4. Message "Failed to upload screenshot" appears

Hello,

Since the game doesn't exist on the Steam servers, so there is nowhere to upload and store screenshots for it. This is unlikely to change as it would mean running a free image hosting service.

I figured it was something like that but on the other hand it's perfectly possible to upload screenshots of the Deck UI to Steam which isn't tied to any game at all. I would have expected screenshots of non-Steam games to be considered as non game screenshots as well.

You're right. Screenshots are tied to your Steam account, so maybe it'd make sense if it could take screenshot uploads from non-steam games. The origin shouldn't really matter.

Maybe a Option to Upload these kind of Screenshots somewhere else like imgur?

you can put them in your "artwork" section of your profile

generally if you dont own a game in your library you cant upload screenshots or videos to that appid

I've uploaded screenshots of non-Steam games to Steam without issue on the desktop client, so I think this should be possible.

Not really sure why there are people stating the issue is non-Steam games. It’s not. I have screenshots from the early 10s of World of Warcraft and more. This is a valid issue.
