Steam Overlay / Blender
Do the two work together but I'm guessing there is no way to be able to have it in blender

It's when you pressed Shift+tab ,have a try mate when you are playing some games.

I think it only works with the games.

Actually, the overlay does engage in blender, but because of all the conflicting shortcut keys between Blender and the Overlay it is not a good Idea to have it turned on. I don't know how many times I've had to restart a project because I pressed Shift-Tab and engaged the overlay and could not get back to the project without exiting Steam (which of course shut down Blender).

i want to use the steam overlay so i can have the fps counter while im modeling but i cant figure out how to get it to work. ive tried launching from steam, and pressing shift+tab. neither work.

shift+tab is the blender shortcut for "snap during transform" so maby that has something to do with it? -- edit-- nope, tried changing the overlay shortcut to control + ` since thats one blender dosnt use, didnt work

Hmmm, My bad, it actually looks like they took the overlay functionality out of the program altogether, I just tried to set it up. I know that worked in earlier versions because I cursed and swore like I use to when I was in the army everytime the overlay engaged. I would lose everything I was working on in the project after the last autosave when it did because I would have to hard close Blender from the task manager to get out of the overlay. I just couldn't find a key combination to get out of the overlay. And don't get me going on the F12 key!

I really think that a disabled overlay is best because of all the function key conflicts it was causing in Blender while in use.
