[BUG] Steam overlay menu not appearing on client
I have Steam Link version (1.3.25) installed on my Chromebook from the Play store, and I notice two major problems. I'm using a host computer running Bazzite in Big Picture mode and also a computer running the latest update of Steam OS 3.9, also in Big Picture. I have not tried desktop mode. The same problems exist in both cases.

1. Inability to display the steam overlay menu and Quick Access menu on the client while a game is running. Therefore inability to get to Friends & Chat, voice calls, etc. I have even turned on Force Compositing in the developer options, but the overlay does not appear client-side while a game is open, though it does appear on the host computer. Imagine pressing the Xbox button while streaming, seeing no response, then having no idea if the overlay is focused or the game is focused. This makes the app borderline unusable since you cannot tell where your controller input is being directed.

2. Using a long-press on the Back (select) button for session control interferes with games that rely on long-pressing or holding this button. For example, in Shadow Warrior 2, you long press ths button in order to teleport. In Darktide, you hold this button to display the mission briefing. I could find no way to rebind this default setting.

Would appreciate a fix or a workaround, particularly for the steam menu overlay. Thanks!
