It also provides the user with installation and automatic updating of games, and community features such as friends lists and groups, cloud saving, and in-game voice and chat functionality.
Steam is used by over 90 million people. As of June 2015, there were over six million active users.

How to use the Steam client
The Steam client is a digital distribution platform for video games. It is developed by Valve Corporation. The Steam client was first released in September 2003.
The Steam client allows the user to connect to their Steam friends list, view their profile, view their recently played games, and view their achievements. The client also allows the user to purchase and download games, and play them through the client. In order to play multiplayer games through the Steam client, the user must first connect to a server. The Steam client also allows the user to chat with their friends, and join chat rooms.
The Steam client has a number of features that can be used to hide your activity from your friends. To do this, you can use the Steam client’s privacy settings.
In the privacy settings, you can select who can see your online status, your profile information, and your game details. You can also select whether or not you want your friends to see when you’re in-game.
To access the privacy settings, open the Steam client and click on the “Friends” tab. Then, click on the “Privacy Settings” button.
In the privacy settings, you can select who can see your online status, your profile information, and your game details. You can also select whether or not you want your friends to see when you’re in-game.
If you select “Only Me” for your online status, your friends will not be able to see when you’re online. If you select “Nobody” for your profile information, your friends will not be able to see your profile. If you select “Nobody” for your game details, your friends will not be able to see what games you’re playing.
You can also select whether or not you want your friends to see when you’re in-game. If you select “Nobody” for this setting, your friends will not be able to see when you’re in-game.
These privacy settings will hide your activity from your friends. However, they will not hide your activity from other people who use the Steam client.
How to hide your Steam activity from friends
Assuming you would like to remain logged in to Steam, but do not want your friends to see what you are doing:
