Valve has unveiled its latest addition to Steam – Steam Broadcasting.

With just “a click of a button” gamers can watch their friends play via Steam Broadcasting, which is now available as a beta test version.

“When you see a friend in-game, simply click on ‘Watch Game’ from their profile or from the Steam Client Friend’s List to open a window into their gameplay — no game ownership, special fees, or additional apps required,” said Valve.

To opt in, gamers must select the relevant option in the Steam settings panel.

For those of you who are not fans of Twitch, this is your chance to show the world your stuff.
