No. The restrictions on installing programs are there for a reason.

If you have an iPod/iPhone/iPad or an android phone, you could use the steam mobile app to talk to your friends?

so you make a move from distractions to focus on an education and want to chat on steam?

I think that is weird but I guess it is one of those generations gaps

You need to install the steam service so you need admin access no matter what

parents complaining and arguing are a bit more distracting. small chat every once in awhile is not that bad.
