this video covered a great variety of points and topics, thank you for taking the time to make this. Highly underreacted videos, ashame so many are missing out on these changes.
This is great because my cousin can now see play on another profile. So he can have his own game save’s instead of using mine. The only other thing is I wish I could create a guest account instead of having to set him up with his own Steam account and email.
Listen, all you need to do is log in the account of your friend or brother or whoever wants to be part of the family. Then go to the store and buy something frome the store (it could be anything, a cheap game, a dlc, etc…), this will change the store of that account to the same country as yours and now you can accept the invitation to the family. The only down side of this is that your friend cannot buy anything from the store for at list 2-3 months (it appears to be possible that valve can ban your account if they see a change of store region very often). I did this with my brother and works without isues (he lives in the US and im in Spain). Just be ware of using your currency to buy the game or dlc to avoid troubles or errors.
So the family literally changes nothing as far as online games go? It only adds singleplayer game comfortability, but then again we can still just buy our child the game it wants instead. While the family still has to pay like 120 bucks, just to play a crappy 30$ game like Garfield Party together. And then we risk 2 members being banned, cuz of a potential false cheat report in a multiplayer game. Only way i see Steam families being worth it, is if every family we make shortens the years we have to wait for Half life 3 - which i suspect we might get the next millenium, if Valve keeps wasting their time with redundant crap like their upcoming Dota 2.5 they're trying to hype up with purpously leaked beta tests.
It's way better than switch because of the way nintendo has their system set up. Basically, only one system can be designate as the primary. This means this is the only system that can be played offline or allow anyone else to use those same games. Only the owner of the game can play on a different system and they must be online. Ironically, this does allow you to play 2 people on the same game online if you allow the other person to use the primary system and you play on another system. This isn't possible with Steam Family because only one person that's online can play the game. Basically, Valve and Nintendo are polar opposites in this regard. This type of setup would only be possible with switch if you went exclusively with physical games, and even then, it wouldn't be the same.

Great overview! Im psyched for this new feature!
Thank you so much!! My boyfriend just added me to his group and I was quite confused, this helped a lot

this is such a cool feature
Where to find final confirmation after family accepts invite?
You go back to the family page and you can see all members.
I'm sad of this update.. because I cannot play anymore with my friends and family outside the country... :(
You can, as I hint in the video you just need them to log into your PC at home to accept the family invite and it works fine.
@_Caddac but ps4 did not have a pool of keys that's the catch point you only needed 1 key
What does the PS4 have to do with any of this?
@@_Caddac It does not work.

i love the new steam family.!!
Would a vpn work to accept the inv?
VPN wasn't working when I tried.
So i want me and my friend to play fc25 together at the same time, can i buy it with my account and make him a family member and play together online?
No. As I outline, if only one person purchases the game only one person can play that game at a time.
hello, can i still add pin for an accouint ? or this is not here at all
Yes, PINs are still supported.

Such a cool feature, know the pc games in my family are like switch games we can all play them
