Step Two: Share Steam Games on your family or friends PC

• On a family or friend's PC, open the Steam application and log in using your Steam account
• On the top left of the screen, click the "Steam" menu> "Settings"
• Select the "Familly" table
• Check the box next to the "Authorize Library Sharing on this computer" menu
• Click "OK" to save the setting results
• Log Out of Steam Account
• Then log back in using your family or friends 'Steam account, and now the game library from your Steam account has been shared in your family or friends' Steam account.

While the game is shareable, all progress, achievements, and in-game purchases (excluding DLC) cannot be made. Any in-game activity is saved to the currently playing account, not the game owner’s account. Those are simple guides of how to share games on Steam that will give you new experience of playing game on Steam. 

However, Steam limits users from being able to share with this feature to a maximum of five accounts and a maximum of 10 devices at once. Family sharing actually cannot be used to allow access to certain games, while you are playing the game. Other people can only play the games you own when you are not using them. 

If you start playing one game at the same time as another person, the other person will be given a few moments to save their game and leave or to buy the game themselves. Besides knowing how to share games on Steam, you can also play game on multiplayer mode. You can check it out how to do it on the next page.

How to Share Games on Steam and Play at the Same Time

Besides the simple steps of how to share games on Steam, you should also know how to play together. Steam released a new feature called Remote Play Together. With this new feature, Steam users can invite their friends to play the game they are playing, even if the person doesn't own the game.

This feature can only be used in games that support local multiplayer or split-screen only. Also, this feature is still limited to four players. But in a 'more ideal situation' means high internet speeds, more than four people can join.

Users don't need to be afraid of compromised privacy. This feature only allows other people to access the game being played. But if you still doubt that your privacy will be disturbed, the host can even limit the guest's keyboard and mouse access.

To be able to use this feature, Steam users must be registered as Steam Client beta members. Registration is easy. Just open the Steam app on PC. Then open the settings menu via the application. Later under the account menu, there is a Beta participation option. Just change these options and later the Steam application will update and restart automatically.

After that, the user simply turns on the game you want to play. Then invite the guests via the friend list tab. Because it is still in the beta stage, there are potential problems that Valve has not yet noticed or fixed. Therefore, Valve hopes that users can report problems they encounter through forums that have been created by Valve.

Well, those are all how to share games on Steam and how to play together with other users. The first step you should do is by sharing the game with other users, and then you can go on to the multiplayer mode. Good luck!
