Easy peasy! Just hit Shift + Tab while you're in the middle of any game on Steam. This shortcut pulls up the Steam Overlay, which lets you access friends, the browser, or your library without having to minimize the game. Super handy for checking messages or guides without pausing your gaming spree!

Honestly, just Alt+Tab out and do your stuff. Who needs an overlay? Keeps things simple.

Been using the Shift + Tab combo for years, it's a game changer. Can chat with friends or grab game guides without ever leaving the game. Super smooth and never had it mess up my game.

Shift+Tab not working? Make sure the Steam Overlay is enabled in your settings. Go to Steam Settings > In-Game and check the 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game' box. Sometimes it's the little things we miss!
