- Configurable application behaviour by right clicking the tray icon and selecting settings.

- Minimize to Tray - Minimize the application to the system tray when the minimize button isclicked.
- Start Minimized - Start the application minimized to the system tray.
- Launch on Startup - Start the application when the system starts.
- System notifications: steamchat integrates with your system's native notifications.
- Update status: You can update your status directly from the tray menu.
- Simplified navigation: Some navigation from the steamcommunity has been replaced, leaving only a STEAM header logo that returns you to the main chat dialog.
- Automatic reconnection: steamchat will automatically reconnect if you lose your connection.
You can download the latest version of steamchat from the releases page and install it manually.
