Turning off Steam Family Sharing involves deauthorizing the computers or accounts you have shared your game library with.
To disable Steam Family Sharing, you need to manage the authorized devices and accounts linked to your library. The process primarily involves deauthorizing these connections from within the Steam client or via the web.
Here are the steps based on the provided information:
- Log in to your Steam client.
- Navigate to the Settings. You can typically find "Settings" in the Steam menu at the top left of the client window.
- Within the Settings menu, locate and click on the "Family" tab. This section is dedicated to managing your Family Sharing settings.
- In the Family tab, look for and select the "Manage Other Computers..." button. This opens a list of computers or accounts that are currently authorized to share your game library.
- Here, you can deauthorize any specific computer or account individually. Deauthorizing a device or account immediately removes its access to your shared library.
Additionally, the process of deauthorizing devices is not limited to the desktop client. You can also perform this task remotely from the web. This offers flexibility if you need to manage your shared devices while away from your main computer.
By deauthorizing all listed computers and accounts in the "Manage Other Computers..." section, you effectively turn off Family Sharing for your library.
