How to enable Steam Family sharing?
In order to share your Hogwarts Legacy copy with other users and devices, it is essential that you have first enabled Steam Guard on your account. So if you don’t have it enabled yet, now is the time to do so, given below are the steps you can follow to enable Steam Guard.
- In order to enable Steam Guard for maximum security, the first step is to open your Steam client.
- Once the client is open, click on “Steam” at the top left corner of the window; from the drop-down menu, select “Settings.”
- Under the Accounts tab, you will notice an option labeled “Manage Steam Guard Account Security” click on it to proceed.
- It will then give you the choice of receiving your security codes via either your registered mobile number or email address.
- After making your selection, restart your client to complete the process.
Authorise Library sharing
If you want to allow others to access your library of games in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll need to authorize library sharing. To do so,
- Open Steam and navigate to the Settings menu. Once there, look for the Family section and select it.
- Within this menu, you will be presented with an option to Authorize Library Sharing on this computer – check the box next to it.
- Doing so will bring up a list of users who have logged into the device; choose which ones you would like to give access to your library and click ‘OK’!
With your carefully-chosen circle of users and authorized devices all set to go, it’s time to share the joy of your game library!
