Introducing Live Chat Support for Steam Users
Dear Steam Support Team,

I would like to suggest introducing a live chat customer support system on Steam. Currently, most consumers rely on email or ticket submissions, which can take a long time to receive a response. A chat-based system would make it easier for consumers to reach support and get faster solutions, especially for urgent issues like payment errors, account security, or technical problems.

Steam is one of the largest gaming platforms in the world, with millions of active users. With such a massive community, having real-time support whether handled by trained agents or supported by AI has become a modern expectation. I really don't mind if it's handled by AI or a Human as long it will be a easy access for us consumers rather then emailing and waiting for 4-5 hours response is not that good actually. Many leading digital platforms already provide live chat services, and this helps reduce ticket backlogs while improving user satisfaction and trust.

I have been part of the Steam community for over 10 years and have always supported Steam for its accessibility and strong gaming ecosystem. This suggestion is made with the intention to help improve the customer experience for loyal users like myself and new gamers joining the platform. I hope Steam continues to innovate not only in gaming, but also in providing fast, reliable customer support for its global community.

Agree, yesterday one of my friend wanted to recover his account but his steam guard stuck with the old phone, took him a while to recover even tho he has his first email, even now he hasn't got his account back due to steam repeating answer and slow responses
Agreed
Yes, I agree with this statement. this support chat is needed for us consumers. it's easier for us to chat and tell our issue. rather then waiting for replies from steam support for hours.
I completely agree with this. Steam is huge, and relying only on email or tickets makes support slow, especially for urgent issues like payments or security. A live chat system whether handled by humans or AI would make the process much faster and more convenient. Other major platforms already use live chat, and it clearly improves customer experience. After using Steam for years, I feel this is one upgrade that would really benefit the whole community.
Yeah not gonna happen.
The current system is actually far more effecient for dealing with a customer base as large as Steams's.

It may seem slow from the user end , because the user only considers their one ticket. From Valve's end it's super effecient since they can see the other 391 tickets that got dealt with in that same period.

Also consider what them wait times would be like
Care to explain how this would be faster/better if you have to wait hours/days in the queue till its your turn?

Just because its live doesnt mean you will get someone immediately. You will have to wait just like with the ticket system.
What you're asking for is basically what the self-help support pages do, but in a fancier way.
In this day and age such a system will have you talking to an AI agent anyway. And certain stuff will still inevitably take time to solve.
You do realize there are possibly thousands of other users who are also trying to get in touch with support at all times right?

With the ticket system you are getting live support, but the reason it takes so long is because you have to wait your turn.

Your problem is not a higher priority than the problems of the users waiting in line before you.
