How to Turn Off POP UP Notifications for STEAM (Best Method)
1Steam provides a wide range of notification options, from friend activity to sales and game updates. The best method for turning off pop-up notifications is to use the comprehensive settings within the Steam client itself, which gives you granular control over what you see and hear.
Here is a step-by-step guide to disable various types of pop-up notifications on Steam.
Step-by-Step Guide
Open Steam Settings:
Launch the Steam client on your computer.
Click on "Steam" in the top-left corner of the window.
From the drop-down menu, select "Settings".
Go to the "Notifications" Tab:
In the Settings menu, find the "Notifications" tab on the left-hand side and click it. This is where most of your notification controls are located.
Disable Friend Notifications:
This section controls pop-ups related to your friends' activity. You can choose to turn them off completely or just for certain events.
For each option (e.g., "When a friend comes online," "When a friend joins a game," "When a friend receives a message"), you can:
Disable "Show Toast": Uncheck this box to prevent the pop-up notification from appearing in the corner of your screen.
Disable "Play Sound": Uncheck this box to turn off the notification sound.
Manage Steam Client Notifications:
Scroll down to the "Steam Notifications" section. These are notifications from Steam itself, such as sales, wishlist updates, and achievements.
You can disable the following types of notifications by unchecking the box under the "Toast" or "Play Sound" column:
"A new item on my Wishlist is on sale"
"There's a major sale"
"When an achievement is unlocked" (note: for this, you may also need to disable the in-game overlay to fully prevent it from appearing)
"When a direct message is received"
And other various notifications.
Disable the "What's New" Popup:
Many users are annoyed by the pop-up that appears when you first launch Steam, showcasing new releases and news. To disable this:
Go back to the main Settings menu and select the "Interface" tab.
At the bottom of this section, find the option "Notify me about additions or changes to my games, new releases, and upcoming releases".
Uncheck this box. This will prevent the pop-up from appearing on startup.
