Not able to DISABLE 'Controller Overlay' for Remote PLay

[{TPFB} HeyRob]

Guys, I've had it. Not sure what else there is I can do to fix this... but it seems to work for everyone else but me: I want to DISABLE the Controller Overlay using Remote Play (PC to Apple TV). I've gone to Steam on my PC > Settings > Remote Play > Advanced Client Options and set 'Controller Overlay button' drop down to Disabled.

I've also gone to the settings in my Steam Link app on Apple TV > Settings > Streaming > and set 'Controller overlay' to Disabled.

I've since restarted both the Apple TV and PC. The settings are correctly sticking/applied.

I'm using an XBOX Elite Series v2 controller. I CANNOT get these buttons to work for ANY function in-game:

1. Select - (with most recent Steam client UI, brings up 'Steam Overlay (what it looks like on Steam Deck now)

2. Guide button - this just brings up Apple TV's 'quick action' menu from the right side

3. Also - NONE of the four additional paddles on the back are detected/configurable in Apple TV or Steam. Yes, I've updated the firmware in controller to most recent version (as of a week ago).


Please for the sake of sanity, please tell me how to be able to use my friggin' Select (and maybe even Guide button) IN-GAME. This crap is infuriating.

Thank you in advance.

I have the same issue here and no clue how to fix it. It’s extremely frustrating especially since if you use the “virtual controller” to press the button it still brings up the guide. I can only hope it’s some sort of weird bug with the new big picture experience.

Select+B

I just started having the same issue with xbox s controller. My research has yielded Select (xbox Change View + Red B button) will send the Select command through the Steam Link app, at least on android. The middle "guide" button somehow is hard coded to "back" on android so it is as if it's pressing the back button on a remote.

I'm almost sure that behavior only happens on android. Select+B does nothing for me. I downloaded steam link app to apple tv yesterday; while playing .Hack//G.U. Last Recode from the beginning the game request the player to press select to open the map. However, when I pressed select the overlay came up.

The workaround I have now is to rebind my controller in the steam link settings I rebinded the select button to start button (single press) and the start button to start button ( double press) in the controller settings that appear when you double press the select button on the controller..

I've been searching for a solution for an hour now.
Guide button seems to be a problem with apple tv, no fix (yet - but hopefully in the future).
Select+B works! It brings up the game menu and I can finally save and reload without the virtual keyboard.
