How to turn off Steam friend playing game notifications

Best Answer

Honestly, I just keep it on. Helps me know when the squad's getting online without having to text everyone. But yeah, Settings > Friends > Uncheck the notifications if it's really bugging you.

Seriously, just mute 'em. In Steam, go to Settings > Friends, and uncheck the notifications you don't want. Saves you from the endless pings when your buddy decides it's time to marathon every game in their library.

Easy peasy! Open Steam and click on 'Settings' from the dropdown menu in the top left. Head over to the 'Friends' tab, and you'll find a bunch of notification options. Just uncheck the box that says 'When any Friend joins a game' and voilà, no more notifications about friends diving into games.
