How to set up and disable Family Sharing on Steam

Steam Family Sharing is a feature that allows users to share games in their Steam accounts to other family members or friends. This is a big "push" for Valve into the game market, thanks to which we can play the latest blockbuster games without having to spend money to buy as before.

Of course, this feature still has its own limitations, such as:

• Only shared with up to 5 people.
• Two people cannot play the same game at the same time.
• When the person being shared intervenes in the game such as cheating, cheat ... then you will be affected or responsible.
