Valve announces major improvements on Steam
The friends list, chat and voice call experiences have been greatly improved in this new Steam update, with the possibility of being used through the web browser without the need to install Steam, something very useful for when you are away from your PC. The friends list has been completely redesigned to provide more information and help users to better organize their contacts.

In addition to the above, the chat experience has been updated to better suit today. Users can now send YouTube clips, SoundCloud audio, Tweets, images, and more through Steam chat. You can also convert an individual conversation into a group chat by dragging new friends from your list to the chat to make it a group. If you like the new group created, you can save it and assign a title and avatar.
Another major improvement is voice chat, V alve has greatly improved audio quality thanks to the WebRTC-based backend, although it also benefits from the fact that voice traffic is encrypted. Another advantage is that traffic goes through Steam servers instead of peer-to-peer, something that protects your IP address from those who want to try to find your location or attack your network. Windows XP and Windows Vista users will need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows in order to use these new features.
