The QUICKEST way to Share Games on Steam [2023]

In this video I'll show you how to share games on steam.

First, go into your Steam settings and enable Steam Guard. Once you have all of the accounts that you'll be sharing the games with, then you can move on to the next step.

Next, go into Steam settings and click on the family settings. Select the box labeled Authorized Library Sharing on this Computer. Once selected, it'll show you multiple accounts that you need to share with. If you don't see any accounts, then you'll need to login to the separate accounts on that computer in order for them to be found.

Then you can select the accounts and share your Steam games with your family and friends.

You may need to request access to the games when you click and play. Make sure the original user accepts the invitation through email.

Also, the limitations of this is that you can only share your games with 5 different computers and 10 different users. Also, 2 people can't play the game at the same time. If you're wanting to play with your friend, you'll need to buy two versions of the game.

And that's how you share your steam games with family and friends.

Just quick tip if your offline mode is on u can play offline games while other person plays so yes two people playing is possible just not both online

[LifeForNormalPeople-pxlz]

can we get an update video on the new steam overlay because it does not look like that anymore

[johnathanrocha]

I tried doing it so many times and this vid helped a lot

Let’s add that yes 2 people can’t play the same game without purchase, but another person can’t borrow a different game while your playing a different game. So doesn’t steam Sharing really isn’t sharing anymore might as well just play on 1 account and have a friend play on your account at this point

[Okiegamer]

Thank you so much!! I really wanted to share games with my husband and vice versa, but I couldn’t figure out how until your video!

[kaylarivas]

Wait, I’m confused. So if I want to share with my brother, would I need him to sign into my computer first?

[hermanortez]

I performed all of the steps correctly, but where do I go to see my friends game library?!

[hoosmyster]

How do you actually ADD someone to the list? Ive got the steam guard thing but how do I get someone onto the family list?

[xbxlal]

I tried this with Rainbow Six Siege and on the account who its supposed to get "gifted" it tells me to buy the game? can someone help?

[sais]

Thanks, this hep me. For me, I followed every steps you described here then some. On the 2nd PC, I find the game I want to share on the 2nd PC and request to borrow it. Then grant access from the email and install that game on the 2nd PC. After installation, I log onto another Stream account on the 2nd PC and the game is there ready to play. All other games from the loaner library also show up as well.

how to approve the borrow game? it says u can find it on library but i don't find it

[duskint]

Thank you! I wanted to play a game my brother had, but couldn't find it showing up in my library, luckily I knew the password to his account.

[Fff-uult]

Hello ser there. I do everything you say my pc but my cars don't go to my new account. I want my cars in my library online.

[rdezic]

so i have to sign into my friends steam client with my account then sign out and have them sign back in?

[retardedduck]

Thx it worked 👍 now i don't have to keep switching accounts knowing i can finally play all games on one acc

[steamgears]

What if I want to move the progress from one account to the other, so I can play a game on another account but without lossing my progress, so I dont have to start from the beggining?

[getzhongd]

What about trying to sync them.. ive been doing it on my friends acc but some games i cant find..
