Setting up Family Sharing on Steam is like giving a candy store's key to your friends, but for games. First, log into your Steam account and head to the 'Steam' menu in the upper left corner, then click 'Settings'. Choose 'Family', and from there, you'll see an option to 'Authorize Library Sharing on this computer'. Check this box, then select the account you want to share with. Just make sure the person you're sharing with logs into Steam on your computer once to authorize it. Voila, shared game library!

Honestly, family sharing on Steam sounds cool, but remember, only one person can play from the shared library at a time. So if you're thinking of playing the same game at the same time, it's a no-go.

Just go to Steam > Settings > Family, then check 'Authorize Library Sharing on this computer'. Pick who you want to share with. Done!

I've been using Family Sharing on Steam for years. Works great for sharing games with my brother. Just remember, some games may not be available for sharing due to third-party restrictions.
