Question about family accounts and sharing games. Can we be on the same title at the same time? /u/SmkAslt Steam on Reddit

Just as the title says.

I have a steam account and just finished setting up a new budget gaming pc for my son to sim race with me.

Steam is very clear that they let child accounts access games the parent allows from their purchases, but I can’t seem to find any info on simultaneously being on the same game title. I ASSUME that you cannot do that…and for him to say be playing Forza Horizon on the same lobby as me…I would need to buy him his own copy.

Can someone clear this up?

Thanks in advance! And sorry if this info is up somewhere. I haven’t been able to find it and don’t trust Googles AI answer.
