Steamchat Hacked
Someone has access to my Steam chat and sends messages to my friends without my Knowledge and asks them to join "HIS TEAM". . He has done all this when I was offline and I am 100% sure that I have not clicked on any link which gave out any access to him. I have not lost any items but he has complete access to my chat. Please look into this.

remove that link from your post, why would you send it if you know it's a scam link sent by someone who has access to your account?

Follow these steps now:

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the API Key)

you said you're sure you didn't click on any link but you must have at some point given your credentials to a phishing site, there's no other way for people to access your account especially if you have 2fa enabled.

your "steamchat" isn't hacked, your account is compromised. remove the link. steam support doesn't read this forum, and they aren't going to investigate the link. steam support only responds to tickets

I have all the authenticators. I have not given any credentials to a phishing site. I am very aware of the things that I do. He has used my chat to text others and I had no notification on my phone. No login notification or anything else.

Okay, do you have an API key listed here?

https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

If you do, chances are you've set up a trading website or such and that key is being used to access your account.

That is how they were accessing your account. You must have signed up to a phishing website and setup the API key at some point.

did you follow all the other steps i gave you? your account is compromised, like i said it's not your chat that is "hacked," the person who was sending that link has access to your account.
