How to Activate Steam Overlay
Activating the Steam overlay is super easy! Just hit 'Shift' + 'Tab' while in any game, and bam, it pops up. But remember, you gotta have it enabled in Steam settings first. Go to 'Steam' > 'Settings' > 'In-Game' and make sure 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game' checkbox is ticked.

Actually, if you're not seeing the overlay, it might be your game. Some games straight up don't support the Steam overlay. So, double-check that first before you start troubleshooting like a mad person.
