0:22
First one is append nicknames to a friends and names and now to pop up our friends list click on this button right here and
0:32
Go for the friends and Make sure to move to the friends list right here because the favorites are showing only your favorite friends
0:41
But we want this list and now I can see the nicknames that I've given to my friends
0:49
And if I disable this I Won't be seeing them Next thing is group friends together by game if you enable it and
0:59
Again, have friends playing the same game. You'll see them categorized Next is hide offline friends in a custom categories. And if you enable it
1:11
Here you can see that I have a categories for my friends like hunt showdown and
1:17
I have only one friend online. Others are offline so I can see them that here
1:22
Let me show you example by disabling the setting and Here we can see the offline friend
1:31
Hide categorized friends in on online and offline friends if we enable it
1:39
And move on to our friends list we won't be seeing any
1:44
Categorized friends, but I don't have any categories like that set up now
1:50
Ignore away status when sorting friends if they're away, they won't be visible on your friends list
1:57
Sign in to two friends when the Steam Deck starts So if you enable or disable that you won't be visible to the friends if it's disabled
2:09
You won't start online if it's enabled you will start online Enable animated avatars and animated avatar frames in your friends list and chat
2:19

2:25
Avatars, but that just makes all of the avatars and frames and etc
2:31
