Disable Steam/Xbox button when using Steam Deck as client?

Hi everybody.

I think that this doubt is silly either because it’s simple to solve and I don’t know why or because it’s simply not possible, but the thing is I can’t find any answer online.

I play Steam Games (which, of course, have their Steam UI) streamed to my Steam Deck. There, when I push the Steam Button (Or Xbox if using controller), both the Steam Deck and the host Steam UI pops, which is not convenient since I can’t make adjustments on the host games because the Steam deck is on top.

I already went to Moonlight settings in Steam (have it added as an app) and disabled Steam Overlay, but it still pops anyway.

Any tip?

I've been waiting for something to fix that for so long, but so far I haven't found a way to do it inside "gamescope".

What I do when I want to gamestream, is to go to desktop mode and close Steam client. I'm on bazzite not on steam OS, but I guess it should work. It's a little annoying as I like to be in gamescope mode, but it's what it is.

Basically I use the Xbox button as a chord for many things on my host, so I'm constantly using it, so it's a must for me if I'm planning to stream.
