No, two computers cannot use the same Steam account simultaneously for gameplay. However, you can log in on multiple devices and download your games. To share games, use Steam Family Library Sharing, which lets family members play one another's games while keeping separate accounts. Just ensure a reliable internet connection and that the account owner has authorized sharing with the specific device. Remember that only one user can access the shared library at a time for playing games.
