Steam Client Update - Added a setting to disable group event and announcement notifications

Settings > friends.

unfortunately you cannot disable certain groups. Its either all or nothing.

Edit: Maybe with time they will add a option to select which you want to mute. We will see.

does that mean I could now, after only 3 (or so) years go online again?

OMG! FINALLY!

JESUS BACK

So that's what they've been working on since Half-life 2 🤔

Best feature of the year!

I wish it were separate settings for events (I never want to see those) and announcement (I often want to see those).

(And like others have said, it would also be nice if it were on a per-group basis.)

Thank god

finally 😍

Never again.

Never had any problems with that since I'm in like 5 groups and I've only seen them send announcements like twice, but more options are always good.

One day they'll add a setting to open non-steam urls in a real browser and not the snail that comes with Steam, and they'll make me happy. It probably won't happen until 2060 though.

sounds good :D

It is something, hope they add more options to mute only some groups, but is Valve, i doubt it.

Great. Now how many decades will it take them to make separate options for announcements and events.

I mean, really, why even block announcements at all? They're non-intrusive. Whereas events take me out of fullscreen games.

for me only problem ever was events. and I want to see announcements from most groups I belong to. so valve found way to add new requested feature, but yet make it unusable gg

Wow, finally! Steam users have been asking for this for so many years. Now I don't have to use the custom skin I made that blocks all steam popup notifications. The skin works, but it blocks everything including the popups that let you know when someone sends you a message and also achievements. I use to just turn off the Steam overlay, but I was still getting the popups outside of games and ended up just disabling everything.

And still not a way to subscribe to the few ones I'm actually interested in. Also, either none or all notification/event popup, no way to supress only specific ones. I'm not even surprised.
