A script that takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord - JustTemmie/steam-presence

I just found this cool utility a couple days ago and have found that it’s a great solution to sandboxed versions of Discord being unable to provide rich presence. It’s a Python script that queries the Steam web API to get info to forward to Discord’s API. The “installer” sets up a systemd service that will auto-run the script for you.

It requires you to get your own Steam API key which was a trivial, though slightly buggy, process for me. You can optionally use your own Discord app ID, or just use the one owned by the guy that created this script.

  • Desktop only (The phone app is somehow worse then the Discord app, see the Steam Chat rating).
  • No bots or advanced moderation
  • Steam restricted Are enough reason why it’s usage has been limited. Still decent to use for a couple of people but lackluster to what Discord propose.
