How to Open a Chat Room in Steam

While Steam lets you talk to other Steam users on your Friends list in either one-on-one or group instant messages, only members of any Steam community group can open a chat room. By starting your own community group, you gain access to a chat room that you can open and use at any time to chat with other members. After creating the group, you can open the chat room directly from your Steam community group page.
