How does Family Sharing work on Steam?

Family Sharing on Steam lets you share your game library with family members on up to 5 accounts and 10 devices. Basically, you authorize their accounts/devices to access your game library, and they can download and play games as if they owned them. The catch? Only one person can play a game from the shared library at a time, excluding free-to-play and DLC content which needs to be purchased separately by each sharer.

Nah, family sharing on Steam ain't all that. Constantly getting booted because someone else wants to play? Thanks, but I'll pass. Plus, some games don't even allow sharing. Meh.

Short and sweet: Family Sharing = your Steam games on lockdown for your fam to play, but don't fight over who plays what; only one at a time, folks!
