Steam splits profile and game-detail privacy. This guide walks you through the exact toggles so the roulette can sync safely.
Open Steam, visit your profile and click “Edit Profile” › “Privacy Settings”.
Set “My profile” to Public.
Set “Game details” to Public and uncheck “Always keep my total playtime private even if users can see my game details.”
Save changes and return to Steam Roulette to sync.
The Steam Web API only returns your game list when “Game details” are public. Without this toggle, the roulette receives an empty dataset.
You can keep screenshots, comments or friend lists private—the roulette only needs the games portion.
Head back to Steam Roulette and refresh. The app will automatically retry the sync.
Share this guide with friends before a co-op session to avoid delays.
You can return to private mode once you finish playing. Save these steps in a note so you can toggle visibility quickly next time.
Take a screenshot of your privacy configuration and send it to friends so everyone is on the same page.
Add a calendar reminder to revert or re-enable the setting depending on your play schedule.
If you use Steam Guard, keep your authenticator handy before making changes on a new device.
We only cache results temporarily to speed up future spins. No credentials or sensitive personal data are stored.
Yes, as long as the profile you add has access to the shared library and the details are public.
Double-check that “Game details” is set to Public and the hidden-playtime checkbox is disabled. Reopen Steam Roulette afterwards.
