I'm not gonna mention how long I've been trying to get this to work, but thanks to your video we're now up and running at our house. You made it incredibly simple.
You are a LEGEND 👏 I design houses for a living, and that is easier than going through these game sharing hoops. Bravo for doing such a concise job of the video, it was perfectly made.
Problem: Failed to accept the family invite. You are ineligible to join this Steam Family at this time, as your Steam activity doesn't indicate that you are in the same household as other members of this family Found a fix: Make sure your friend's account is not logged in on their device. I did the opposite and log into friend's account on my PC. Made it the family host, I sent an invite to myself. Sharing the games should work this way, and you'll both have access to each other's games. This work for me
Hello and thanks for the info!! I created a family with 3 members but when I play the game (F1 24) it cannot be used by any other member of the family.. is it due to the game?? Thanks for your time!!!
I have an issue with one of my friends getting a message saying they can't join the family due to not being in the same household does this not work for friends outside of your family?
my friend did the exact things you tell us to do but when i send the join family invite to my friend it says "failed to join" what should i and my friend do?
It's because the game count as 1 copy, and only 1 player can play it at one time. But if both of you have the game, then the game count as 2 copy and both of you can play it.
Any idea what to do about "Failed to accept the family invite. You are ineligible to join this Steam Family at this time, as your Steam activity doesn't indicate that you are in the same household as other members of this family." ??? It's stopping me from joining and I'm not sure what to do.

PRO! It it does not show family beta in my steam. When i created the family, some games in friend's steam presented excluded games, so i cannot play that games. How can I fix?
@@Gargamel_0 Not at the same time. Look at XBL, you can share all games you own with everyone who signs onto your console, OR you can sign into someone elses console and make it your "Home console" and now your friend has every game you buy available to them to download and play, even while youre playing it, they can play it with you. Steam on the other hand, will only allow multiple people to play each others games at the same time, if the people in the family plan own enough copies for everyone who is playing. So if me and you made a family plan and wanted to play MH: World together at the same time, you would have own MH: World and so would I even though we share with the Family share. So essentially yes you can share your game, without being able to play it together, unless you all buy the game anyways. So pretty fucking pointless.
this doesnt work if the accounts are from diffrent country!! might save someones time, i even logged on same pc, try invitation to familly or borrowing game from library but nope dont work, the accounts must be in same household what is same country bassicly
There's a workaround to this. You need to set up a custom private network, and you and your friends join it so you have the same IP. I did it with Radmin VPN and it worked.
This is only 2 months old but I don't have any of these options. Just some ridiculous family view that seems to lock everything and "manage library sharing" that seems to show none of my games can be shared with my wife.
I was so excited to have my brothers able to play with me on stormworks the I downloaded it on my brothers and it is making me purchase it again for my brothers to play this new family sharing sucks I used to be able to just install them and play with my brothers for free just seems like a cash grab at this point
@@Ryuketsunokami if someone is playing your copy of a game you can still play other games, just not that one. For example, if they are playing your copy of say “Game 1” then you can play any other game, but you won’t be able to play “Game 1”.
you can download your brother’s game, and your brother can download your games too. or you can share games with your friends without sharing your account. thats pretty enough for me. its free, what do you expect
so does this only share my library or does it share everyone's libraries like if i am the family host do i get to see and play the games in the libraries of other people in the family
@@Bunrucan me and my brother play games together after we family share the library? And there is only one copy of the game. I am asking cuz I got my own gaming monitor yesterday and I tried playing his game after starting it up but it didn’t let me play MW3 from the battle-net.
@@sammattoo2323 unless it's a couch game, then all online/multiplayer games need you to have 2 copies. You can still play his game when he is offline, but NOT together. Also, your game is marked as "Exclude from family sharing" by the publisher themselves so you're out of luck
what if its like this, my brother owns a elden ring in his steam account and we are in family sharing, can we play the game at the same time , even my steam deck is not on CONNECTED TO wifi?
Bro there’s gotta be a non shitty way without having to live in the same house hold cuz with regular game share anything my pc turns off the games my friend shares with me disappears
So if i only own one copy of a game that means only one person can play it at a time right, and owning two copys would let me and my gf play the same game at the same time

Used this to get around Ubisoft not letting u use 2 different Ubisoft accounts on steam games lmao very neat loophole.

thank you, this was very helpful!!
Already made family and invite friend, but how to share my game to the family, I mean I don't see the option to do that? Is this done automatically?
Have a question, when i and my brother wants to play a game one of us says " Shared library locked" whats the solution?
Is there a way to get around it?
It's because the game count as 1 copy, and only 1 player can play it at one time. But if both of you have the game, then the game count as 2 copy and both of you can play it.
can you share all family members games or just the person who created it?
so if my friend has a game i want to play and he is playing another game on hes account can i still play that game that he has ??
Yes, just cant play the same game at the same time
can both people play the same game at the same time?
Unfortunately, no

yes it can, i tested it with elden ring dlc and it does
@@anthonypritchard2798 thank you soooo much! ❤️
It worked but it’s not showing my full steam library
Wow the copies of games feature really makes this half pointless. Such a stupidly restrictive feature tbh.
wdym? i have one game and 2 ppl can play it for free? that's crazy
You could sell your family if you have a big amount of games and steam would lose a tone of money bc the members wouldn't buy the game.

What about family members not living in the same household, like a sister or an uncle?
What about game progresses it will be different or common?
I cant find steam families beta

same problem. how to fix?
Steam doesnt recognise that the 2 devices/accounts are in the same household
make your game details public.
Family management tab isn't there for me in account details any reason for that?
i accidently joined as a child can my friend change my family account to adult ?
should i disable family sharing before setting up steam family or does that matter?
no, steam will remove the accounts at your PC before creating the new family sharing
Nice! Thanks mate!
My only question is that if the person playing my game can i still play other games ?
@@Ryuketsunokami if someone is playing your copy of a game you can still play other games, just not that one. For example, if they are playing your copy of say “Game 1” then you can play any other game, but you won’t be able to play “Game 1”.
This function is dumb, it does basically the same as login in with with my account on my brother's computer
you can download your brother’s game, and your brother can download your games too. or you can share games with your friends without sharing your account. thats pretty enough for me. its free, what do you expect
same account in the game or diffrent??
so does this only share my library or does it share everyone's libraries
like if i am the family host do i get to see and play the games in the libraries of other people in the family
it does seem like everyone shares their game libraries from what I've seen so far

doesn't work for FC24 & FC25

Does it works with dlc's too?
their is not steam family beta
For my friend it says can’t join family
So if i only own one copy of a game that means only one person can play it at a time right, and owning two copys would let me and my gf play the same game at the same time
Yes, but sharing it 2 people cannot play at the same time
If there are 2 owned copies within the family, 2 people can play simultaneously.
Just like if you and a friend both own a game, you can both play it.
