Steam remote play together with family beta

[Pixel]

I am trying to play a game with a partner via remote play together. I own the game but my partner wants to host and have the save file. We are in a steam family together so she can access the game. however trying to use remote play together isn't working and every solution i have found is to not use the beta branch of steam. but we can't use the stable as she loses access to the game. I am loving how the family sharing works over the old library share system but this is just breaking. we just want to play a couch coop game together! any possible fixes?
what generally happens is it gets stuck loading on the remote side or gets stuck saying "Please wait the host is busy". i've tried various settings on my side on my steam deck.

I'm having similar issues. Any update on this?

I own the game, and have family sharing enabled. I launch the game, send a remote play invite to a child's account in the family, and he clicks the button to join. It just sits there and never loads. I understand what with family sharing he can play the game when I'm not using it, but the family sharing seems to break the Remote Play Together function of being and to invite anyone. I tested with a non family never, and Remote Play Together still works, so it seems to only be broken with family members that have access to my library.

I am also seeing this problem - I have two kids on a linux debian install in my family group, and when we try to play gang beasts together I can invite them to remote play to my windows PC and they can join, but they cannot invite me to remote play on their system: when they invite my account to remote play, or when they drag my account into their remote play "box" on their friends window, nothing ever comes up on my computer indicating that I've been invited.

I've been experimenting with being unable to remote play with a family member. First off, if it says the host is busy, usually that means the host still has the Steam overlay open, or doesn't have the game actively open, so it pauses the stream.

I found that I couldn't remote play with my nephew's ROG Ally. He is a child member. But when I turned off all the restrictions on his account, I was then able to "remote play together" with him. Specifically "Enable parental controls for this user" needs to be turned off in order to remote play with them. Hopefully this gets fixed so I can remote play together on games I've allowed him to play already, and not have to turn the restrictions off every time we want to play together.

Did you find any solution to this? I'm still experiencing this issue. As the adult I'm playing on the ROG Ally and inviting the child account which is playing on a Steam Deck.
Does not work for us... And I would really prefer not to just allow all content with core, horror and extreme violence, communication with strangers and so on, in such an young age.
