How to Link Steam to Facebook

Last Updated: August 6, 2015

Steam is a multi-platform gaming system that allows users to play games together and build up a profile. One of the ways people build up their profiles is by connecting their social media accounts so the world can see their accomplishments. Since Facebook is the largest social media site in the world, it would only make sense that there is a way to connect these two programs, and you can do it with either your computer or your smart phone.
