Family Sharing on Steam lets you share your game library with family members on up to 5 different accounts and 10 devices. Basically, you authorize their accounts/devices, and they can play games you own as long as you're not playing them at the same time. It's like handing them a digital version of your game without physically passing it over. Super useful for families or close friends wanting to try out each other's game collections without buying extra copies!

Just a heads up, not all games on Steam are sharable with Family Share. Some games, especially those with third-party DRM or subscriptions, might not be eligible. Always check the game's specifics on Steam beforehand.

Gotta say, Family Share is a lifesaver. Shared my library with my sibling, and now we can play each other's games without fuss. Just remember, the shared games are only accessible if the owner's account isn't currently using them. So, no playing the same game at the same time unless you own multiple copies.
