Been trying to add my brother as a friend who was already in family on steam once I made my account but when I try to add him his name doesn't come up, anyone know how to do it ?



Best Answer

Searching for other profiles in the Steam Client has not always been as easy as it should be. A fail-safe way to find your friend and add him, is be asking him to go to his profile in his browser. Then he'll copy his URL (it should look something like http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198017813554/), and send it to you. Then you can open this URL in your browser (remember to log in), and add him there.

If the problem still persists, please try Steam Support.

How do I family share with friends on Steam?

From the Steam Settings panel select the Family tab (or in Big Picture mode, Settings > Family Library Sharing). Here you can select users who have also logged into this computer to share your library with. Click the "Authorize Library Sharing on this Computer" box.

How do I enable family sharing on Steam 2021?

Share your Steam game library
  • In the top left corner, click Steam.
  • Select Settings (on Windows) or Preferences (on Mac) from the drop-down menu.
  • Select Family in the side menu.

  • Can two family members play Steam at the same time?

    A Steam library can only be used by one user at a time to play one game at a time. The same is true if that library is being accessed by another user via Family Sharing. A Steam account may authorize Family Library Sharing on up to 5 accounts and on up to 10 devices in a 90 day period.
