Ways to change status on Steam

The Steam service, like Skype, uses Status to display what the user is currently busy with, or his desires. With it, you can tell your friends that you are online or offline, that you are not there or you should not disturb, you want to share or play.

Steame has the ability to change user status.

Do not confuse statuses with a similar function in the VC. Here you can not write philosophical quotes and decorate them with emoticons. Steam clearly defines the number of available positions of the gamer, so that users know what he is doing.

Your position changes automatically when you turn off the computer or turn it on. If you use them for other purposes, other Steam users will always know when you can play with you.

Status change

The list of available user positions in Steam is displayed when you right-click on your avatar. Previously, besides “online”, “offline”, “not in place”, “wants to exchange”, “wants to play” and “not to disturb”, their position could be changed to “asleep”. After updating in February 2013, it was removed. However, from time to time some players still go to sleep. How do they set it for themselves and how to set themselves asleep status in the incentive?

"Sleeping" status appears only when you do not touch the computer for a long time - about three hours. After that, the account automatically enters this mode. As soon as you return to the PC, the position changes to “online” again.

How to make "offline", if in fact you are playing at this time? Rotate it easy enough.

  1. We go in the game.
  2. We fold it.
  3. Expose "offline".

This way you can get rid of annoying friends who endlessly scribbling you messages or calling you to play. Quite convenient and at the same time artless way. There are no other opportunities to change your status, yes, they probably are not needed. On Steam, the system itself knows and understands what needs to be communicated to other users, and does it conveniently and timely.

ATTENTION. Some users offer programs with which you can change the Status parameter. However, you should not trust such applications much - most often they are hosted on unofficial sources and may contain virus software. Therefore, it is better to be content with what is, at least in this case for sure.

Another interesting option

As you know, Status has a certain color. This color can be used when you write messages. To do this, before starting the message type “/ me” (without quotes), put a space and then write the text. In the end, it will turn blue or green - depending on your position.
