Setting up a custom launch animation in Steam Deck is a little more than accessing a menu option, as you need to access the file structure in desktop mode. But it is very easy. The basic essence is to change the layout on the desktop, create two folders and paste them into the webm. This is the basis.

As for the OS version, it doesn’t need to be in the beta channel. As long as your deck has been updated to at least SteamOS 3.3.2, you are good to go.

Discover hidden files in desktop mode

Switch to desktop mode and open the “Dolphin” instance. No, it is not a Gamecube / Wii emulator. Dolphin is a SteamOS file explorer, similar to Windows Explorer or macOS Finder.

Click on the sandwich icon at the top right of the window and enable “Show Hidden Files”. (Ctrl + H is a quick shortcut to do this too.)

Create a custom folder for animation

After enabling hidden files, go to ~ / .steam / root / config and create a folder called “uioverrides”. Yes, two rupees.

In this folder, create a “Movies” folder. There you will release the custom startup video of your choice.

Prepare your video

The Steam Deck startup animation requires a webm video with a resolution similar to the 1280 x 800 deck screen. If not already there, rename the file “deck_startup.webm. The startup animation will not work, otherwise. Also note that Steam Tech’s running videos are only 10 seconds long.

All that remains is to restart your collection and enjoy the new animation! If that doesn’t work, see the previous steps.
