Here’s how to get your Steam Families set up properly.
What Is Steam Families?
Why would you want to do this?
They can also earn their own set of Steam achievements for the relevant games.
The system is not without limitations, however.
Only one machine or user can pull up the library at one time.
Originally, Family Sharing and Family Options didn’t play nice together either.
This meant that library sharing and parental restrictions couldn’t be used in tandem.
It can be done completely remotely and is a much smoother experience overall.
This is done by going to Store > Your Store > Preferences > Family Management.
If they don’t have it enabled, they won’t be able to join your Steam Families.
Once they’ve accepted the invitation, everything else should be immediate.
The shared user will have a few minutes to save their progress and exit.
There’s two different ways to do this.
The first way hides a game from all family members at one time.
