About Teamviewer

[Grifo]

Hello, I live with my mate and his favorite games by far are Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2. If he would like to play my games without buying them, could he make it thanks to Teamviewer? Would I have a signal when my PC is controlled by him thanks to Teamviewer? Would it lower the bandwidth rate when I play my games and him playing my games on my computer remotely? If I play the same game than he makes, could we play the same game at the same time?

Way easier and can even be done through a browser for a guest.

Do you not get the option for remote play together?

Remote play together in is feature on Steam that better then TeamViewer, and built into the client, simply invite friend that it.

Thank you for the link, but it is not really what I meant. Remote Play Together is for inviting one Steam friend in my game. What I was asking is that if he can play another game than I do. You know, just to share my library with him.

Remote Play is not the same as Family Sharing and no, neither feature allows you to play your library of games at the same time.

Logically, he would not attempt to play, while you are using your computer. So why not do family sharing?

That's very interesting ! How do I set it up so that he can play any game from my library and me another game?

Ok, so thanks to Family Sharing he can play any game from my library but if I launch the same game he has launched, I would not have access to the same game.

You can't share and play the same game at the same time with Family Sharing.
If you want to play the same game together, use Remote Play Together (if the game supports it).

Thank you for the help, it totally makes sense now.
