Finding your security information is easy enough, although it is three clicks away. Click on your login name in the top right corner and select View Profile. Look to the right and click on the button that says Edit Profile. You are now on your Profile page, and the link to My Privacy Settings can be found to the right. Before we click Privacy settings, there is a setting here to link, or unlink, your Facebook account. Now let's click on My Privacy Settings and see what we can change.
Feb 24, 2018 - Valve's Steam Link is a sleek, easy way to stream games from your PC to a TV. If you want to customize the Steam Link settings, you'll need to.
My basic details Nothing can currently be changed here. To use Steam, you need to provide a profile name and avatar as a basic profile that everyone sees. There's nothing personal here anyway unless you use an image of yourself. Settings for how My basic details are displayed can be found in the next step. My profile My profile has a drop-down link that allows you to change your profile to Public, Friends Only, or Private.
Below that you can hide all of your game details and your total playtime if you like. Game Details Here you can choose from the same three settings to determine who can see your list of games, games you wishlisted, achievements and playtime.
It also determines who sees when your playing and what. Inventory Again, the same three options are here to determine who can see your Steam Trading, cards, and gifts. A checkbox is available, so you can always hide Steam Gifts. Can post comments on my profile Once again, pick from Public, Friends Only, or Private to decide who can post on your profile. We've always set this to Friends Only. Screenshots & workshop items A bit more complicated, any screenshots and Workshop items must be handled per item. Links are provided for both so you can see your current items and if they are shared.
We would like to remind you that we do chuckle a bit at the idea of privacy settings and any social media app, and make no mistake, Steam is a social platform as much as it is a gaming platform. You can limit what is shared, but often at the expense of enjoying the social features. Are you a Steam user and are you concerned about your privacy in Steam?
Frequently Asked Questions How do I enable Family Library Sharing on my computer? To enable Family Library Sharing, first be sure you have Steam Guard security enabled via Steam Settings Account in the Steam Client.
Then enable the sharing feature via Settings Family, (or in Big Picture mode, Settings Family Library Sharing,) where you'll also authorize specific computers and users to share. Is there a limit to the number of devices or friends I can authorize to share my Library? You may authorize Family Library Sharing on up to 10 devices at a given time, and for up to 5 accounts that may then use your game library on any of your authorized computers. Do I need to be online to play a shared game?
You must be online to access and play games which are shared with you. Can I share specific games, or do I have to share my whole library? Libraries are shared and borrowed in their entirety. Can all Steam games be shared with friends and family?
No, due to technical limitations, some Steam games may be unavailable for sharing. For example, titles that require an additional third-party key, account, or subscription in order to play cannot be shared between accounts.
Can two users share a library and both play at the same time? No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time. When I authorize a device to lend my library to others, do I limit my own ability to access and play my games? As the account holder, you may always access and play your games at any time.
If you decide to start playing when another user is already playing one of your games, he/she will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing. Sometimes the games I’ve been given access to are unavailable for me to play. Shared games are only available on devices that have been authorized by the account holder. Shared games will be unavailable on even an authorized device when the account holder’s library is currently in use on another computer.
Who owns and can access the DLC and in-game content associated with a shared title? A guest will have access to the lender's DLC, but only if the guest doesn't also own the base game.
Guests may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game. Can region-restricted content be shared across regions?
No, any region restrictions will remain in place when lending or borrowing content. Will I be punished for any cheating or fraud conducted by other users while playing my games? Your Family Library Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may also be VAC banned if your library is used by others to conduct cheating or fraud. Additionally, VAC-banned games cannot be shared. We recommend you only authorize familiar computers you know to be secure. And as always, never give your password to anyone.
