Need an option to disable Remote Play toast notifications
I'm getting frequent notifications about a Steam client coming online and going offline on my network. Not seeing a toggle anywhere in Settings>Notifications or Settings>Remote Play.

Only way I can think of to suppress these is to either disable all notifications, or disable Remote Play entirely.

Absolute insanity that this can't be disabled and so infuriating. Had to disable remote play entirely because I was getting toast notifications randomly every ~10 minutes between my PC and laptop.
Yes!!! I also had to just disable remote play on all my devices to stop these constant notifications.
Same on stable version, not beta
still an issue!
This has been an issue for several years now, and it is incredibly annoying to the point where it renders the Remote Play feature unusable. If you leave it enabled on the machine from which you intend to stream, then it gets bombarded with notifications for every laptop in the house every time it goes to sleep or wakes up. And if you disable it, then you have go to that machine and physically re-enable it every time you want to stream to your laptop.

And, of course, Steam has the entire page full of checkboxes for various notifications, except this one just isn't there. Who is the genius that designed this UX?

Yeah I don’t get why they added that remote play notification again. Nothing but annoying. And there’s not even an option to turn it off in the notification settings!!!

Please add a notification toggle for this Valve, it's been an issue for like half a decade now!!
