Family Sharing between users in different countries

[Влад]

Can I use Family Sharing with my friend from another country?
Does Valve allow it?

[Cathulhu]

Technically yes. But it's not that easy to pull off, as you must be, to not violate the Steam Subscriber Agreement, travel to your friend, log into your account on his PC and authorize Family Share. Then you can travel back home.

Keep in mind that you will be held liable for all violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement your friend does with your games. That includes cheating. If he cheats using your games, you both get banned!

But I can sent him my pass first. Next, send a code from SteamGuard and then just change my password.

No, that would be a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and can get your account permanently suspended or even terminated. I strongly recommend you read that legally binding contract you signed when you created your account.

Then why doesn't Valve bun the websites with Steam accounts selling?

Because Valve can't go around the World with a very very large magnetic thing to shut down their servers.

Because they still make money from ppl buying stuff on those accounts.

Would using something like Team Viewer to do it violate the Steam Subscriber Agreement? I am trying to share it with my cosine, but we leave in different countries and with the virus we can't travel to do this...

Follow the correct way instead.

You can do it, but I would highly advice against it, unless you perfectly trust the user in question

[Mara Jadewind]

Technically is illegal but you are free to do so on your own risk.
Only family share to someone you really can trust.
You do not want to risk get your account banned or hacked.
