No Account under "Eligible Accounts" for Family Library Sharing

[Anzzoh]

Hey there everyone! I'm just wondering if someone could give me a bit of help on Family Library Sharing? I made an account for my little cousin to play Rocket League so that I could still play Apex. I went to request access for Family sharing but when I got to my Main computer to authorize the access, I don't see the account in the "Eligible Accounts" box. The account is not even 2 hours old so I'm not sure if that could be a factor. If anyone could possibly give me any assistance, I would more than appreciate that! Have a wonderful day!

Only one user can use a library at any given time.
When you play Apex Legends, your cousin won't be able to access any game from your library.

You must grant access to your library on the computer of your cousin.

Yes I’m aware of that. I click borrow, request access on the account I made for my cousin. It then tells me I need to go to my desktop & authorize access. When I go to Family under settings. There’s an Eligible Account box where you can select 5-10 accounts. His account isn’t there for some reason. I’m not sure if I understand 100% when you say I need to grant access from my cousins computer. Do I need to login to my account on my cousins computer, then grant access??

You have to sign on and grant access of both Steam accounts on each PC. You and your cousin have to login multiple times for this to work.
