How to Use Steam Overlay

Best Answer

Using the Steam Overlay is like having a secret gaming assistant by your side! Just hit 'Shift' + 'Tab' while you're in the middle of a game, and boom - your game pauses and brings up the overlay. Here, you can chat with friends, browse the web, or even check out guides without ever leaving the game. It's game-changing!
