Can Steam Remote Play Together trigger a VAC ban?

[Windy]

Context no cheats / cheat engine on my PC, but my buddy who I connected to on steam remote play together had cheats running (cheat engine or something similar that WILL VAC). I did let him know that he will get VACed but am I going to get a VAC ban for this?

Read the other message.

(Previously: If he cheats via Remote Play Together it will ban both accounts.)

If he cheats via Remote Play Togetger it will ban both accounts.

Where exactly is this stated however? I never seen a case of this (vac ban via remote play together) being documented. The VAC reasons ive only seen are
1. cheats on your own PC
2. sharing phone number
3. VAC via family sharing person cheating.

Can you show me a documented case of remote play together vac ban?

Can you even play VAC secured games with remote play?

Ooops I just realized, I took Remote Play Together as Family Sharing. Sorry for that. As for Remote Play Together, as of now no-one has complained about being banned by it. So it's very unlikely that you would get banned by it. Though since this can be used, to cheat another account while using your primary account, it would make sense to ban both. Though since a friend could be playing while you are watching or also playing, this wouldn't make sense to ban both. If it would ban both, people could abuse it, to ban the other people. So no, it won't ban you. It's more like a streaming service rather than running the game on your PC, so there's nothing interfering with your PC.

You can. Even works on mobile.

As for one last concern however, we were planning on playing together online. He accidentally remote play invited me instead of regular invite is this still a concern for me? The regular game was running in the background for me while I was in his remote play session.

It shouldn't be a problem. Since the game's code is not being altered on your PC. Thus even if you start your game by accident, your not connecting/connected to a VAC secured server.
If you have Discord or Skype, Remote Play together is like sharing your Screen.

Though if you still feel unsecured, you can use other Software. I would recommend Parsec, in my opinion even better than Remote Play together.

Cheat engine first of all does not cause a vac unless hooled into the games files. That being said as far as i know steam remote play only streams the game to your buddy and his inputs to your machine. If i remember correctly there is no instance of the game itself running on your buddys machine. Can anyone back up what i think?

The game does not run an instance of the game itself to the Person watching/coop playing.
