Steam Overlay enables users to access various Steam features without having to exit the game they're in. The features include game overview, achievements, notes, timer, guides, discussions, screenshots, friends, web browser, and controller settings.
Enable the overlay in both Steam settings and in the settings for the game you're currently playing, then use the default Shift+Tab shortcut to trigger it.
