To share games on Steam, you’ll need to setup Steam Family Library Sharing.
You first need to make sure your account uses “Steam Guard Security”. You can turn this on by clicking on “Settings” in the Steam menu of Steam (it’s in the top left corner of the client). In the settings window, “Steam Guard” can be turned on in the “Account” tab.

With Steam Guard turned on, you can start activating other people’s computers to use your Steam library.
To do this, log into Steam on a friend or family member’s PC, click the “Steam menu” and select “Settings”. In this window, click “Family”, and then tick the “Authorise Library Sharing On This Computer” option.

Finally, log out of your Steam account and let your friend or family member log into their own Steam account. They will now be able to see your Steam Library in their own Games tab. Now they just have to download the games they want and play them.

Most importantly, you can only use a shared library if the owner is not using it. This means that if you are sharing your library and currently playing a game, your friends and family can’t use your collection, even if they want to play a different game to the one you are using.
