Steam Sharing

Hey, SG peeps!

So I've been steam sharing with a few of my suitemates and we were wondering if we could play Rainbow Six Siege together. My friend doesn't have the game on steam, but I do. So if we both went on our computers, put on Rainbow Six, would we be able to queue together? Sorry, I don't really know how steam sharing works when I share my library with them.

Won't work. Your friend will get kicked out of the game when you launch it.

Can two users share a library and both play at the same time?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.

While this is true, I think you can theoretically play together for 10 minutes. The last time I did library sharing the one who is "borrowing" the game has 10 minutes on the game before it quits. So make it a really good 10 minutes.

I thought it was 5 minutes, but you might be right.

Honestly it was a couple years ago. I completely guessed on the time.

It should be 5, but in this case wouldn't work, probably, due to Uplay being involved.

you can't family share this game since it uses uplay.

Isn't it linked to your Uplay account anyway? I'm not sure these even work with family sharing
