If you are a gamer and do not know what Steam or Discord is, you do not deserve to be part of the gaming community.
Discord is the OG chatting platform for gamers that allows users to find like-minded people to chat on text or voice, or video calls. Steam is among the big video game distributors in the world.
So, it is only fair that you would want to merge these two universes and enjoy them both simultaneously. The good news for gamers is that since Discord makers are game lovers, they always keep gamers’ needs beforehand.
So, you can link your Steam account with Discord to showcase the games you are playing on Steam and flaunt your progress. But how?
All you have to do is go to “User Settings,” find the “Connections” tab and select Steam from the given options. A pop-up window will open where you can enter your Steam credentials to finish the linking process.
Let us walk you through the complete process of linking Steam to Discord and why you would want to do it. Let’s dive in!
Complete Guide on Connecting Steam to Discord
Steam is one of the biggest video game distributors and storefronts in the world by Valve. It is the ultimate platform for gamers to find games and other gamers to hang out with or discuss new tricks.
Steam offers video game lovers a platform to purchase or download their favorite games while reading reviews.
You can even chat with other gamers like any other social media platform and communicate on community-based message boards to learn more gaming tactics or to hang out with people you like.
Additionally, you can view the trailers and reviews and take screenshots of the gameplay to understand the game before buying.
Discord is the ultimate destination for gamers to flex their gaming skills, progress, or talk about games in gaming communities.
This platform was made by gamers (Jason Citron and others) to fill the market gap back then, where there was no chatting platform for gamers except Skype and TeamSpeak — who were pretty sucky, tbh!
Since its creation, Discord has evolved with various features to accommodate gamers in newer ways possible.
Discord allows you to link your Steam account to showcase the game you are playing and other gaming information from your Steam account.
You can flaunt your game progress and other stats to your friends on Discord by Steam account linking.
Additionally, with Discord overlay, you can chat with your Discord friends while playing your game.
By linking your Steam account and displaying your game information on Discord, you can become part of specialized gaming communities by flaunting your game’s stats. Moreover, with impressive statistics, you might also win the trust of group admins and gain important roles in your favorite servers.
