This Video neglects to mention that in order to share games across computers (serperate computers) you first need to log into both accounts. Example, If i wanted to share games with my girlfriend in the other room, she would need to log me out, log her information, enable family sharing, log out, log me back in, I enable family sharing. that would share her games to me. ti's the same process for her computer in the other room, in order for my games to pop up on her PC. hope that helps
show the button on how to add someone as familymember. the thing you showed is unnecessary info. sorry to say. but if you would have shown everything step by step, you would have noticed. the account is already in the list so its easy to click on a chekbox.
@@vincentrusso4097 That’s not shared library that’s just giving someone a request to play their game. I’m having an issue where my Computer doesn’t show the shared Library and I’m tired of going on my Laptop to put the shared library on my computer that doesn’t stay on.
So if I bought a game via steam account from a third party site could I then log into that account on my computer and share access to its library to my steam account? Letting me play the game that I bought on my steam account?
I have found a way to play the games with multiple computers at once without being logged off. Just create another account, share the games with that too, and use that account to play, not the "host" account.
@@lapidazuli8033 this doesn't work anymore lol. Whenever anyoneis using someone's library, doesn't matter who it is, it'll block everyone else out of it.
the method shown in this video is not correct, the most important thing is missing. the only way to make it work is if you log in with BOTH accounts, you and your family/friend member, each on BOTH PCs. there is no borrow button and there is also no auth button. only way is you need to log in two times with both accounts on both pcs.
So me and my brother have steam accounts he has nba2k23 but now that were linked anytime either of us want to play the game we cant access online is that normal please help 😢😢
I can play every game but when it comes to Star Wars Battlefront 2, I can't start it and it says "BUY" and not anything like "START" or "BORROW" is there a reason why?
@@BrandonCarrasco-wo1oh the reason? I read somewhere that it’s because Battlefront 2 isn’t fully started via Steam and has another launcher, in this example Origin. If it was fully launched over Steam it would have worked
I know this is old....but im getting my son a computer for Christmas. Is there a way to allow him access to my games with his own account without it logging one of us out. Lkke if we wanted to play destiny together, could we do that?
And what if my friend I shared a few library games with can't see any of my shared games on her library list? Her account is in my family sharing like shown in the video but we got nothin. We both have steamguard to email and done everything here, but somehow it goes nope ^^''
i did it correctly and my games show up on my friends steam, but theirs dont show up on mine? Because they did the same thing as me but theirs didnt work and mine did i dont understand. but they have my games and i dont got theirs.
Your friend has to log in on your computer and enable sharing, then you can log back in with your account. At least, that's what I did with my friends so they could play my games.
Does anyone know what sort of information regarding the used pc is conveyed to steam? So let's say a friend grants you access to their library via family share so you're able to play their games on your pc. If you were to do a clean reinstall of windows, therefore deleting everything on your drive, would that revoke your access to your friend's games library?
Why did you say jump in the video like you had a frog on your throat? you also didnt actually let folk know the most important thing, adding the accounts.
does my brother have to send a request for every single time he wants to play a game? If I am at work and he wants to play a game, does he have to access my email to accept the request?
it appears though that sharing means one at a time - which means that if my son and I want to play as separate characters in the same game, we need separate accounts - would someone kindly confirm this and add more info here if possible - much thanks - AG
with steam you cant play two games on 1 acount at the same time. if you do try to do this it will put you in offline mode and you will not be able to play multiplayer games so you would need to create a seperate account - best of luck - BB
so what i if want to play on my pc and my sons would like to play the same game on their laptops at the same time. Can we have Unreal Tournament deathmatch... is this possible with one copy of the game or do each of us need to purchase a copy of the game?
my gf and I both added each other in the family tab and authorized use of libary but neither of our libraries are showing up on the others. Does anybody know why this might be happening?
You need to log into your account on her computer and enable sharing, then, she logs back into her account on her computer. That's what I did with a friend, I logged into my account on his computer and enabled sharing, then he logged back into his account on his computer, and all my games were there for him to play.
@@GoldSrc_ Thank a million! Gordon. I have read Steams guide, googled it, looked on youtube and and still I could not share my library on my sons computer. Not one F*** "expert" mentioned what you did, log in to your account on his/her computer and enable share. Thanks again for people like you that actually know stuff :)
if you are using different computers you need to log in to the other account on your PC, you also need to log in to your account on the other PC, hope this helps
Ok, so I know I'm very late but I'm trying to get a game called gorilla tag on my alt account as it recently started costing money and in case I got banned or something I could still play but when I go onto it on my other account using this family sharing thing it says "Purchase" not borrow I've researched it and people say to go into downloads on settings and do "clear download cache" but it doesn't work. If anyone has figured this out please let me know
Well I'll help you friend I was in the same to be able to share the account you have to first go to options and put where it says share library and blah blah as it was in the video but before you do that you have to open your friend's account or your secondary account on the same pc you use also you must have steam guard activated in your main account and secondary account then you wait a day and when you go to library should appear to share your other account I hope it works for you.
My Husband and I were successful at setting up family sharing but we have both sense then purchased new games and cannot see them on each others library. Can someone help me with this issue please?

thank you sir

show the button on how to add someone as familymember. the thing you showed is unnecessary info. sorry to say. but if you would have shown everything step by step, you would have noticed. the account is already in the list so its easy to click on a chekbox.
have to login into the account you want to share with on your pc, then sign out and into yours then that account will show as a family member
@@Mustanggt505 tried that cant get it to show up
@@Jack-nw8iv I haven't been able to figure it out either bro it poped up to share but I can't see the other persons library
Thanks, no one else knew how to do it when searching for answers in 2024.
Vietnamese auto-generated subtitles are especially helpful :)
You didnt show the part what everyone came here for lol
Which part is that
Thanks man for saving my time!!
@@vincentrusso4097
That’s not shared library that’s just giving someone a request to play their game.
I’m having an issue where my Computer doesn’t show the shared Library and I’m tired of going on my Laptop to put the shared library on my computer that doesn’t stay on.
Please tell which part your talking about
@@weebster-vo1zyThe part which is the title of the video.
I have two steam accounts i guess i am my family.
what do i do if my friend doesnt show up in the eligible accounts section?
It’s says it in the video are you deff
@@iamwetdeff
Log into your friend's account on your computer. It will show up then
Don’t know why people are booing, this is literally all you need to know.
Except HOW to add someone to "Eligible accounts". The one thing most of us are trying to figure out
@@relaxationandhealing_ they log on to your computer.
tysm luv you sixy😍😍🤩
thanks tim!
So if I bought a game via steam account from a third party site could I then log into that account on my computer and share access to its library to my steam account? Letting me play the game that I bought on my steam account?
Thanks for the 4 minutes wasted.
YES!
THANK YOU IT WORKED!!! thanks so much for this helpful, clear instructions. yay :)
can someone help. i have connected accounts and borrow will not pop up it will ask me if i want to add the game to my cart
does this let ppl on two dif pcs play the same game online at the same time?
no
@@hit8926 whack asf
if borrow the game at different pc, the borrower start a new game? or continue from original account save data?
Its a new install. Its basically just sharing a disc with someone
New game
I have found a way to play the games with multiple computers at once without being logged off. Just create another account, share the games with that too, and use that account to play, not the "host" account.
Thing is I wanna play with my account :(((
@@123Jorge nuh uh
Smart
@@lapidazuli8033 this doesn't work anymore lol. Whenever anyoneis using someone's library, doesn't matter who it is, it'll block everyone else out of it.
@@lapidazuli8033it doesn't work anymore. If anyone uses a game from the library, everyone else is locked out of it
Thanks so much bro this was fast & easy!
My friend's Steam username is not showing up in Settings. How to I get him back on the list so I can check him?
the method shown in this video is not correct, the most important thing is missing. the only way to make it work is if you log in with BOTH accounts, you and your family/friend member, each on BOTH PCs. there is no borrow button and there is also no auth button. only way is you need to log in two times with both accounts on both pcs.
Saved me hours of time potentially. The official Steam page is also not correct.
@@BigBangBlitz correct, it also can happen randomly that it stops working and then you again need to do the entire thing again.
So me and my brother have steam accounts he has nba2k23 but now that were linked anytime either of us want to play the game we cant access online is that normal please help 😢😢
i have a friend and i cant see him on family sharing what should i do ?
and how can i make only one game to share not all ??
And if host of the account deletes his account would the other family members will be affected?
there is no request button ... do I need 2 account run in the same time in different computer?
for me it doesn't show any games by sharing .... i have revoked and tried many times but just doesn't work
what if I want to allow only 1 game, not a full library
I can play every game but when it comes to Star Wars Battlefront 2, I can't start it and it says "BUY" and not anything like "START" or "BORROW" is there a reason why?
Did u ever find this out?
@@BrandonCarrasco-wo1oh the reason? I read somewhere that it’s because Battlefront 2 isn’t fully started via Steam and has another launcher, in this example Origin. If it was fully launched over Steam it would have worked
Any info on how to stop Little Timmy aged 10 from trying to play my Horror games?
I did everything I needed to I just don’t got the damn borrow button
I know this is old....but im getting my son a computer for Christmas. Is there a way to allow him access to my games with his own account without it logging one of us out. Lkke if we wanted to play destiny together, could we do that?
Unfortunately that doesn't work. Co-op gaming while family sharing is not possible to say the least.
So does this mean if I let my friend borrow one game and he’s logged in playing, does this mean I can still play other games?
If you are online and playing games he cant play the games you own/share
@@touch. false, they just can’t play the shard game if friend is playing it.
@Tor stein did you ever figure that out or does it still do that?
Congratulations on creating a 4 minute time sink.
And what if my friend I shared a few library games with can't see any of my shared games on her library list?
Her account is in my family sharing like shown in the video but we got nothin.
We both have steamguard to email and done everything here, but somehow it goes nope ^^''
i have the same problem if you find a fix pls tell me
quick question! for example! if i family share gmod or left 4 dead 2, can we play together or nah?
nah, both accounts gotta have it
no games from my friend pop up on my acount. but he can play my games. how do i play hes games??
So when using this system, can someone play one game from your account and you play different game on your account simultaneously?
i need this
i did it correctly and my games show up on my friends steam, but theirs dont show up on mine? Because they did the same thing as me but theirs didnt work and mine did i dont understand. but they have my games and i dont got theirs.
I'm guessing that your computer is authorized but not theirs
I don't know why or how to fix it but I believe this is what's happening
Your friend has to log in on your computer and enable sharing, then you can log back in with your account.
At least, that's what I did with my friends so they could play my games.
can someone help me when i click on authorize libary sharing on this device there comes an error an i cant turn it on
I borrowed the game from someone and then person started playing the game how can I change the person I borrowed the game from
Does this not work anymore?

If you were to do a clean reinstall of windows, therefore deleting everything on your drive, would that revoke your access to your friend's games library?
I think it might because in the email my friend gets, it tells him my pc's name
My friend shared his library before to pass away, is painful for me to install windows and lost access to his games
thats deep@@edespitia9119
it still says purchase and not borrow
Why did you say jump in the video like you had a frog on your throat? you also didnt actually let folk know the most important thing, adding the accounts.
so you cant play games together?
Literally deleted a whole family group because of this, I don’t know my brothers password either.
is this work on dlc of the game too?
does my brother have to send a request for every single time he wants to play a game? If I am at work and he wants to play a game, does he have to access my email to accept the request?
nope
Only the first time

@@starbounty5388 i still think you cant do it
Yea me and my dad were about to play on steam for multiplayer but it don’t work
@@temeti What about 2 accs logged in the same device, but different devices used for each acc? Would family sharing still work?
so what i if want to play on my pc and my sons would like to play the same game on their laptops at the same time. Can we have Unreal Tournament deathmatch... is this possible with one copy of the game or do each of us need to purchase a copy of the game?
Nope, you need two copies.
How i fix that can Not install add ons on the free acc
for some reason i dont get the option to borrow, even though it says they own it
it was done under a minute, why 4 mints long video dude XD
thanks for wasting my time and not letting me know how to do it
does not work i cant check the sharing on computer it wont work it says steam guard is required
ON STEAM GUARD
@@arunmaurya9628idk if your being aggressive or not but this was 6 months ago use your eyes

it only shows the game you downloaded
not all your libaary
Settings isn't showing up as an option from my steam logo
you need to exit family view
The borrow option does show up for me
Some games say borrow and others say purchase, can you not borrow those games?
thats what im saying
The account I want to share the library with does not show in the list of what to do Please
if you are using different computers you need to log in to the other account on your PC, you also need to log in to your account on the other PC, hope this helps
how come im missing some games?
Thank you❤
For me it just says "purchase".
Got any ideas_
Did u ever figure it out same problem
if the person who is sharing the game with you is playing a steam game then you cant play it
you have to log in with both accounts on both computers, so that the other device is authorized to play the games.
Ok, so I know I'm very late but I'm trying to get a game called gorilla tag on my alt account as it recently started costing money and in case I got banned or something I could still play but when I go onto it on my other account using this family sharing thing it says "Purchase" not borrow I've researched it and people say to go into downloads on settings and do "clear download cache" but it doesn't work.

can i do this with friends? far from me?
does this work with game dlcs? like bought content for games?
no it does not
@@shaybe8373 I just used family share to play demogorgon from the stranger things chapter in dead by daylight, it works for dlcs
How do you add family? It's hard to not find these options you showed.

tysm bro
video only got 3 comments lmao i expected more from a nearly 2k views vid
Did a video about the Steam LibRary, but cannot actually pronounce the word LIBRARY. Viva America.
what if I accidentry revoke them?
They end up in the ER
So if I share a game with my family. Would they have to wait for me to give them access to play? Or can they play anytime they want?
Anytime
You only need to allow access the first time
But what about my "libary"? Jesus Christ...
My account is not there
Thanks 👍
My Husband and I were successful at setting up family sharing but we have both sense then purchased new games and cannot see them on each others library. Can someone help me with this issue please?
is this against steam tos? cuz i think they will vac ban me
It’s literally built into steam
Can I share DLCs as well ?
yes, all dlc's that you own will be granted to the family shared user
svaka cast
great tutorial, worked
"li-berry" really???
thankyou smurf alert!!!!
does this work on two seperate computers???
