# Steam Integration

If you have [Steam](http://store.steampowered.com/) installed on your computer, you can use it to install Sansar, create a Sansar account, and easily log into Sansar. As a Steam user, your Steam Wallet functions as your payment method for purchasing Sansar dollars.

**Note:** Only new Sansar accounts may use your Steam credentials. Existing Sansar accounts cannot be linked to your Steam account.

### Installing Sansar with Steam

You can find Sansar in the Steam Store. To install it, click the **Play Game** button on Sansar's store page.

**Note:** You may only have Sansar installed from one source at a time. If you previously installed Sansar from Sansar.com, Viveport, or another source and attempt to run Sansar from Steam, you will receive a message asking you to uninstall the non-Steam client.

Creating a Sansar account using your Steam credentials

If you do not yet have a Sansar account, you can create one using your Steam credentials:

1. While Steam is running, launch Sansar.
2. On Sansar's login screen, click **Steam**.
3. If you have not previously created a Sansar account using your Steam credentials, you are prompted for the following information:
   * **Email** - This is the email address we will use to verify your account and send you Sansar-related information. It does not need to be the same as your Steam email account.
   * **Display name** - This is the name you will use in Sansar. It does not need to be unique.
4. Click **Create Account** to create your account.

Once your account is created, you are prompted to verify your email address. When your address is verified, you are immediately provided a default avatar and transported to a curated first Sansar experience.
