Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): latest
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu/Arch linux (multiple machines tested)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When launching a game via big picture mode. The remote play together options is not available via the chat overlay.
However, when launching the game without big picture mode, remote play together is available.

Expected behavior: remote play together available in big picture mode.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch big picture mode
  2. Launch game which works with remote play together
  3. Open overlay and chat. Remote play together option not available. (Chat also displays 'in bigpicture' instead of in game)

Running the game without launching big picture mode does work.

Is it possible to get an update on this? For Overcooked 2, if I start the game outside Big Picture, it forces a keyboard to be used, and I want to play with a controller, so there's always a "dead" player - the keyboard - when I want to use Remote Play Together with someone else, because I can't invite them with Big Picture on.
