Remote Play Together: multiple players on one machine/account?

[teasuti]

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have multiple people joining in under one player account/machine? For example with two controllers on the remote computer the host is streaming to, etc. Obviously with games that support 3+ players.
Thanks!

Only the host need to own the game, the other people don't need to own the game. The host invite others to play the game.

Host stream from their system, the other peolpe has to have their own system to be able to join said remoteplay.

Let me rephrase that:
A single remote Player (the actual invited Steam account / physical computer) has two or more controllers connected to it and two or more people playing on it. Could this work?

What you're asking for is local coop.

No. You'll need as many remote stations, as you want remote players. If you want 2 remote players, you need 2 remote stations, each with own Steam account. Since inviting more people is free, this isn't a problem.

There's another solution: the owner of the game shares the library with that remote Steam account. That other Steam account on that other computer downloads & plays the game then, with as many local players, as the game supports.

Correct me if I'm wrong and I'm PROBABLY wrong but if I remember right, and I probably don't, isn't it possible to assign controllers to players in remote play? Because Remote play DOES use local multiplayer, not online, to -> remote play. I've seen controller settings.

I don't follow, I ask you a direct simple question.

Everyone plays from ONE device as in EVERYONE sharing the SAME device? To make it more clear, let say you have a Gamecube, everyone brings their own controllers, and everyone connect to ONLY one Gamecube, there is no additional/other gamecube, just the one in the room where everyone is in.

If that what you're asking for, then you don't need Steam play for this, as you're doing local coop, there no reason to stream anything as you're all in same room, playing from same device.

Otherwise if EACH person HAS their OWN DEVICE that from another location, host be STREAMing to those device with Steam play. Yes you can have some people play local coop with you in same room, and stream to other devices at same time using Steam play if that is also what you're asking.
