Tutorial

Here's how CuSteam works:
CuSteam Logo

Put simply, it's a homepage for your Steam Overlay browser. We check which game you're playing (using your Steam profile), and the page changes to show you specific resources for that game. This can include links, search engines, and notes that you add.

Login with Steam
Steam Login

We use your Steam account because if you're looking for an Overlay homepage, you'll probably have one. It passes a very small amount of information to us (basically an ID and your Steam Name), and we check which games you have.
We detail what we do with this information in our Privacy Policy (but don't worry).

My Games list

Whay! You're done. Okay - maybe not. We've got some links added by default to most games, but you'll probably want to add some of your own. By going to My Games, you can add more links to any game (or all your games at once).
New: You can now add Custom Search Engines to your game pages!


All Games

You can add any of these items Globally (to show up on any of the games, and when you're not playing a game), or by navigating to a specific game and adding it (in which case it'll only show up when you're playing that game).

Add Search Engines
Search Engines

You can also add custom search engines, so you can save a step and search for that pressing question on Wikia or Arqade - or anywhere.
We've added popular default engines for Youtube, Twitch, Google, Bing, and more - but you can add your own by copying a compatible search URL in, and replacing the searchterm with '$s'. This will then be replaced by whatever you're searching for.

Notes
Notepad

Everyone likes to take notes, and we've added a basic notepad to your page (for each game). It's not visible on your public profile, so you can write notes about anything.
Note: We don't advise storing genuinely private data, such as account details or passwords, here.

Add us as your Homepage
Steam Settings

Custeam really works best if you add it as your Overlay homepage. This is pretty easy - you can either add http://custeam.io (if you don't mind signing in), or add your full profile link (so you don't have to sign-in). You can get your full profile link from your Profile page, or from the Share link on your ingame page.

Okay, now you're done.
Steam Library

Brilliant! Go play a game, and when you need something, try CuSteam out. Hopefully you'll find it the perfect complement to the Steam Overlay browser. There is more stuff you can do, though...

Share Your Profile
Sharing

You can share your profile, so that friends can see what you've got as links - and they can then add them to their profile by clicking on the button shown hovering over the link.

Check out your Achievements!
Achievement

Okay, so we love achievements, so we added some to CuSteam too. You actually get one for looking at this page! You can see your achievements on your Profile page  (along with any you don't yet have). You'll also get achievements for sharing your profile, adding links, using CuSteam frequently and more.

Let us know what you think?
Feedback Form

If you've got this far, you're doing well. We'd love to hear what you think of the site, if there's anything you'd improve, and what you'd like to see added.
Let us know by hitting the Feedback button on the menu bar - you don't have to leave an e-mail address, but we won't be able to ask you about the cool stuff you suggest if you don't. Alternatively, drop by our Reddit page if you prefer.


FAQs

General

How do I create a profile?

After logging in through Steam, your profile will be created. You will then be redirected to it.

How many links can I have?

Lots. More than it would make sense to put on a single page. As it happens, your link-limit is per-game, not per account.

Why do you have this website added by default? That website is way better!

We realise that some people prefer other websites, so you can remove any of the suggested links (and add your own preferences.)

How can I remove these suggested links?

Simply click the button on a link to remove it from your page.

How can I contact you to ask about stuff?

Click the feedback link at the top (if logged in), or e-mail us at supportcusteam.io

What are you working on at the moment?

We have a changelog which details upcoming and recent changes.

Troubleshooting

Why doesn't CuSteam recognise that I'm playing a game?

This could be one of several things:
 - Your Steam status needs to be Online
 - You need to be playing an actual Steam game
 - You need to have your Steam profile set to Public

What does "no claims returned" mean?

Occasionally there is an issue authenticating your account with Steam Communities. Please try to log in again, and let us know if it continues not to work.

I get an odd text response when trying to log in - what is that?

Again, sometimes the Steam Community authentication system is down for maintenance etc. Please just try logging in again. You can also check the Steam service status here.
