When playing a game open the steam overlay (shift+tab by default on windows).

Click settings at the bottom.

Click the "Broadcast" tab. You should be able to figure out the rest.


When broadcasting is turned on there is a 0 at the upper right of the screen. It doesn't start encoding etc if there are 0 viewers. People can join you and then it will start actually broadcasting. I think people can join your broadcast or you can invite them through steam's instant messaging service. There is also a 'request to watch' feature if they have Broadcasting turned off, where if the player accepts it turns it on for them.

This is all in the normal client now.

ok i did it i broadcast a game and 1 person started watching and then stoppe
