Family Library Share - Shared Library is not showing up in Library tab

[FlyJeRay]

Okay, so me and my friend are trying to share games with each other.

We've done all authorization on both computers and I can play my friend's games, but he cannot see my library.

We've checked all the Family settings and everything seems to be correct. Also, when I leave some of my games, my friend even receives an notifcation that my library is now available to him.

The games have to be installed on the computer to see them. Once one family shared game is installed on your friends computer, they should see a "borrow" button where there was a "play" or "purchase" button. Once your friend clicks on "borrow" the entire shared library appears. Also, your friend can't play shared games if you're playing any game at all.

"Also, your friend can't play shared games if you're playing any game at all. " Well that is some lame rule , why is this a thing ? ....For example I want to play z game while wife can play y game and reversed playing ....its not quite "Family Library Share" it is more of "share a game with some one when you dont play games on steam", family can play on the same pc\account if the main account that bought the game is busy and does not play anything at all .... Not that fair if you ask me ... where do I write steam a suggestion ? Because this aint "family sharing" as I said above

Ah, forgot about this topic. Well, we managed to fix it - we just deleted each other from Library Share and created it again. Now everything works fine

It is Family Sharing as agreed with the dev, pub who can revoke it at any time.

Secondly complain to Epic, CDPR, Rockstar, Blizzard, EA who do not have Family Sharing on their platforms.

Thats not quite family sharing as I said above, its "i play ON MY OWN account but on the games you own when you dont play", the idea is great, like if you play with your wife\brother\sister\cat\and so on, you are more encouraged to play even thou if sometimes you play a different game when you dont feel like playing a specific game. The companies you said above for me to complain because they dont have "family sharing" its just something that they lack, also the huge amount of money they will lack for not having such features, that is, if its a real FAMILY SHARING and not a wannabe term to sound cool ....
