Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/1fQkfv3aO2c
If a background recording for a game does not exist yet, it won't appear during the first launch. This makes creating clips on the fly cumbersome if you don't know this happens

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Make sure that a background recording for a game doesn't exist
  2. Start a game
  3. Open the Media menu

Result

The background recording doesn't appear on the first launch. After relaunching it does and you are able to create clips on the fly while a game is running

Expected

The recording should be available as soon as the game starts recording
