There's no Remote Play.

At least nothing of the sort is stated on the store page.

Remote Play games are usually ones that have split screen or local multiplayer on one screen.

Elden Ring does neither.

If you mean 'joining for coop', yeah that doesn't work for Elden Ring.
Refer to the previous poster.

Edit: No, there isn't (you answered before I posted), at least not the way you want.

If you want your friend to just watch, or you watch them, you need to set up Steam's Broadcast settings.

Steam Window, top left corner "Steam" then "Settings", and there under "Broadcasting"

Geez its' late, I took a while to understand. Sorry for triple posting.

YOU want your FRIEND to play from YOUR library, and YOU want to watch your FRIEND play through broadcasting?

Normally yes, via family share - but I'm not sure if Elden Ring supports that.

Previous titles did, but it was abused by cheaters (they could get banned and just create an empty Steam account, family share and keep playing)

Heard somewhere ER dropped that feature because of this, but I'm again not sure.

no you had it right, i was wondering if they could play thru remote play. but you said family share? what does that do?

It's a bit complicated.

Essentially, you'd open your Steam Library to be used by trusted persons and enter their Steam login data, so Steam knows that this login is allowed access.

They can then usually just install and play most of your games unless you are starting the same game (in which case, they are booted out of the game after a short warning, I think).

I think too you can use your library and play something else at the same time, though also not sure (it's been a while since I used Family Share with my wife)

You should read up, just google "Steam Family Sharing" and take it from there.

But again, I'm fairly certain this won't work for Elden Ring because of the ban circumvention this allows.

If that works though, you could then technically let them play and use the Broadcast function to watch I guess.
