Valve is making it easier to chat with your friends while playing your favorite Steam games. The gaming company just announced Steam Chat, which is currently in beta for anyone to try.

The chat platform lets you compile a friends list (with features like favorites and group chats) and shows what game everyone is playing. Open up a conversation with a friend or a group chat to send and receive messages with text, pictures, video, tweets and voice calls.
