Is it a Steam thing? Lately when I load up a game I notice in my lower right hand screen a grey square icon with a circle formed by arrows inside it. When in-game I can't click on it. If I pause I can't click on it. When I shift tab to enter steam overlay I can't click on it. I tried taking a screen capture and it won't capture the icon within the screenshot.

Is it steam? Is it NVidia experience? I'd really like it to go away and it doesn't seem to do anything.

Not Steam.
But It'd be better to see a screenshot of it.

Like any of these icons? That's nvidia Shadowplay. Just go into the console and hit the power switch on the left.
On the icon on lower right in the taskbar, right click and go to Open Geforce Nvidia Experience.
Turn it off with the switch, or set up your hotkeys to use it. Very good tool IMO, but if you aren't going to capture etc, then turn it off.




You can also change the corner it's in, turn on fps counter etc.

Though it's a very cool feature, at least in AC and rF2 where I'm very sensitive to these things, having Shadowplay on seems to add a frame of lag. I'd be interested to know if that's what it turns out to be because it will have to be something I check at least every time I update my drivers (or Geforce Experience) if it can end up on by default.

I tried taking a picture of it but like I said the icon does not show up in the resulting image.

I'm assuming this is it, but probably not the mic icon.

Thanks folks. RK you led me to the right spot. It is shadowplay. Specifically the "status" icon. You can set all of them to be off. Thank you.
