showWebURL() will never return anything other than https:// sites.

bool FOnlineExternalUISteam::ShowWebURL(const FString& WebURL)
{
	if (!WebURL.StartsWith(TEXT("https://")))
	{
		SteamFriends()->ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage(TCHAR_TO_UTF8(*FString::Printf(TEXT("https://%s"), *WebURL)));
	}
	else
	{
		SteamFriends()->ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage(TCHAR_TO_UTF8(*WebURL));
	}
	
	return true;
}

First if statement should not have the !

ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage() requires the full URL be specified including the protocol. Make sure your URL includes either https: or http: as the start of the URL.
