| Soon, Steam will introduce The Steam Community - a suite of new features designed to make it easier to play games with friends. For now, this functionality is in beta. The beta is open to all users. Below are instructions on how to take part.
| | == History == |
| | Steam Community was launched in August 6, 2007 as a public beta. The Steam client was updated to include a in-game overlay, which also replaces the "Friends" feature in all {{goldsrc|1}} and {{source|1}} games. Users can use the overlay to view Friends, find Players or visit the Steam Community via overlay web browser. This update was dubbed as "'''The Steam Community Update'''", and was later rolled out to all users on September 13, 2007. |
|
| |
|
| * If you find bugs in the beta, please report them in the [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=300 Beta Bug Reports] forum on the Steam site.
| | Later, the in-game overlay was updated in June 2010 (alongside Steam redesign and switching web rendering from IE to WebKit (and later CEF in ~2013) for better cross-platform support), allowing users to visit any website via the in-game overlay. |
| * For general feedback on the Beta, use the [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=299 Beta Feedback] forum.
