 Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Enable Steam Guard:

  - Open Steam, go to Settings > Account> Manage my account with Steam Guard security.

2. Authorize the Second Computer:

  - On your friend or family member's PC, log in with your Steam account credentials.

  - Navigate to Settings, then click on Family.

  - Choose Authorize this computer** to grant access to your game library.

3. Start Sharing:

  - Once authorized, log out of your Steam account on their PC.

  - Have your friend or family member log into their own Steam account.

  - They can now access and install games from your shared library.

Important Notes:

Limitations: You can authorize up to 5 accounts and 10 computers to access your library.

- Simultaneous Play: You can't play games from your library while someone else is accessing it. If they're playing, you’ll have to wait or play a different game.

- Region Restrictions: Games restricted by region won’t be accessible through Family Sharing.


By following these simple steps, you can share your Steam games collection with your trusted circle, enhancing your gaming experience without additional costs. Always ensure to maintain the security of your Steam account details for a safe sharing experience.
