How to Play Shared Steam Games at the Same Time
To play shared Steam games at the same time, you kinda need to get creative. Officially, Steam's Family Sharing feature doesn't let you play a game at the same time as the owner. However, a little trick that some use is for the game owner to go into Steam's offline mode. This way, the shared user can play the game online while the owner plays offline. Just remember, this is more of a workaround and not supported by Steam, so you're doing it at your own risk!

I've actually done this with my brother. We shared some games on Steam, and he'd go offline so I could play. Worked like a charm, but remember Steam isn't really okay with this. Think of it as bending the rules a bit.
No can do, officially. Steam's sharing is pretty clear: when the owner plays, shared users gotta wait. It's a fair play kinda deal.
