A new feature that allows users to take and upload screenshots to their profile automatically is now available in Steam beta.

It's not automatic. You have to click "Publish" before it's uploaded to Steam.
Edit: Nevermind. You only need to click "Publish" if it's a non-Steam game. (Or you disable automatic uploading.)

Additionally, does anyone know if this stores images locally too? I'd like to take and save screenshots without always uploading them.

so far I changed to beta, launched a game and selected f12 and it took the shots. Id like to see some new features tie to social media and private features.

Finally.
One step closer to not needing xfire any more.

[BlueWolf72]

suggestion is the ability to tag steam friends in screenshots that you publish

He's working for Valve, they play Portal 2 and Episode three every day.

Actually, even though I said about time to this and I was expecting it for a while, I was really only expecting this for Steamworks enabled games. The fact that it works in almost every game is pretty awesome. Props to Valve.

I think it's worth mentioning that the beta now features a search function in the games library.

I think its best to point out that the screenshot feature is in fact now out of beta and is available for all steam clients, just restart steam
