How to trick Steam into family sharing?

To set up Steam Family Sharing (now just called Steam Families), you create a family group in Settings, invite friends, and they must accept, but a common "trick" for users in different locations is to temporarily log into the other person's Steam account on your computer (or use remote access like AnyDesk) to authorize the device, then sign out, as Steam requires both accounts to have logged in on the shared PC at some point for the share to be recognized, though this might violate Steam's TOS and they could change it. The new system lets you share entire libraries, and members can play at the same time, but you're limited to 6 accounts per family and all must be in the same country.

How to trick Steam into letting you family share?

A workaround is to have your brothers log into your PC with their Steam accounts, then starting a random game for a minute or two. After that you can switch to your account and send out the family invite. For Steam it now shows you both having logged in and played from the same location and the invite will work.

What is the $5 dollar rule on Steam?

How do you add friends on Steam without paying $5?

You can add friends on Steam without paying $5 by having them send you an invite or by using a "Quick Invite" link if you're a new user, but the easiest way for a limited account to connect is for your friend (who has already spent $5) to send you a friend request or use the Quick Invite link to connect with you directly. If you're the one trying to send invites from a limited account, you'll need a friend with a full account to send the request to you or use the Quick Invite method to establish the link.
