Hello! You know when a friend joins a game, you get the message ''blah is playing blah'' you can deactivate that, I know. But that's for yourself. I was wondering if there is an option that none of your friends get a popup when you join a game.

Thanks in advance!

Setting your game details to private could achieve that result.

Feel free to test that and report your results here.

There is no individual setting as per your request.

Note that, i'm not sure if that will work.

Test it out.

Well... Kind of. When you are invisible, you are completely offline. I just prefer people getting pop ups of what game I am playing y'know?

Invisible =/= Offline

I do it all the time.

In fact, I am right now.

All it does is make you look offline but can still have access to all the friends network stuff.
