I want to share my Steam library of games with my family members who use different computers. How do I enable family sharing?

Here's what you need to do to make Family Library Sharing work on Steam:

1. Make sure that Steam Guard security is turned on: In the Steam Client, go to Steam > Settings > Account and turn on Steam Guard security.

2. Turn on the sharing feature: Go to Settings > Family (or Settings > Family Library Sharing if you are in Big Picture mode). You can let certain computers and people use your library here.

Remember these things:

• —During a certain time period, you can let up to 5 accounts access your game library on up to 10 devices.

- You have to be online to access and play shared games.
- The whole library can be borrowed and shared.
- Due to technical issues, you might not be able to share some Steam games. For instance, games that need extra third-party keys, accounts, or subscriptions can't be shared between accounts.
- A shared library can only be used by one person at a time.
