Step 1
Find the game's app-id using https://steamdb.info/ or directly from the store page URL (example: http://store steampowered.com/app/242680 , the app-id is: 242680), once you have it, replace "id" in the following link with it, open up the link using a browser and join the group.

Fastest way of getting the ID64 of a group

Examples of full group URL:
http://steamcommunity.com/games/527140/
http://steamcommunity.com/games/nuclearthrone/

527140 and nuclearthrone are group URLs.

Get api key here: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

https://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/ResolveVanityURL/v1/?key={api_key_is_here}&format=json&vanityurl={group_url}&url_type=3

Don't forget to remove the {}
Once you've done this, you can jump to step 4. In case you do not want to use the API, go to step 2.
Step 2
Next, you have to go to the group forums which can be accessed from the same page, you can find a link to them under the "Actions" section.


Or you can just simply replace "id" in the following link with the app-id of the game:
Step 3
Right click > View page source


Ctrl+F, search the page for "forum_general" and copy the 7 digit id that follows.
Step 4
Final step, go to your edit profile page and select the group showcase, right click > inspect element.

Paste this into console:
document.getElementsByName("rgShowcaseConfig[9][0][accountid]")[0].value = '*group id you've got*';

Example:
document.getElementsByName("rgShowcaseConfig[9][0][accountid]")[0].value = '7777777';



Save Changes and that's it!

First "follow" a desired game, and then proceed with script / edit value.
So, obviously this isn't gonna work for hubless titles, at least not this way.

• either script:
document.getElementsByName("rgShowcaseConfig[9_0][0][accountid]")[0].value = '730';

• or find and edit this value:
<input type="hidden" name="rgShowcaseConfig[9_0][0][accountid]" value="730">

Is there a way to set my primary group as an official game group anymore?

hello, to get the code to work you have to put _0 after the 9

for example - document.getElementsByName("rgShowcaseConfig[9_0][0][accountid]")[0].value = '7777777';
