New SteamOS Beta and Steam Deck Beta Client updates were released a couple of days ago, and they have some nice improvements along with them. The SteamOS 3.6.18 Beta update fixes a crash when using remote play, as well as improves the color range when using remote play to the Steam Deck. There is also fixed colorspace for when you are game recording.

As for the Steam Deck Beta Client, we have improved voice recording noise gate parameters for better voice quality when game recording, as well as SIAPI glyphs for the PlayStation Dualsense being monochrome to match Big Picture Mode icons.

You can download the updates yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.
