How to disable Steam notifications for friends

Most of the time, I do not care if a friend starts playing a steam game. If I plan to play with this person, I know in advance and I coordinate it as appropriate. So it's a little embarrassing to see a pop-up window appear every time a friend throws a game, especially if this game has a bug and shows that this friend launches every few minutes. If you are here because your game experiences are currently taking place, we feel your pain.

In this spirit, here's how to disable Steam notifications each time a friend launches a game.

How to disable Steam notifications

1. Open steam

2. Click Friends> See the list of friends

3. Click Manage Settings of the Friends List (Gear Icon).

1. Click Notifications

2. Uncheck when a friend joins a party

It's that simple. If you uncheck this box, you will not receive notification whenever a friend starts playing a game. It should make your experience in the games more enjoyable, but it's also a useful thing for live broadcasters and Content designers who do not want context windows to waste their play catches.

There are also some other options allowing you to customize the notifications you receive, especially when your friends connect, when you receive invitations to online discussions or even invitations to events, which can happen when you follow an event. Active group on the Community Section. These can all be activated or disabled for a pop-up or play a sound instead.

We hope that will make your experience with Steam Friends more enjoyable!
