[SEO-Members] Online gaming

[Stephanie Lamb]

Hi Tyson!
                      I use STEAM for online gaming. I have a STEAM account and purchase games through there and it even allows for multiple players and you can even do it remotely if needed. Jack Box Games are super fun for family nights, as you can have multiple players! You just need to be sure to have it set for family friendly, because there is also a more adult version. STEAM is free, but the games have to be purchased. So you would most likely have to have multiple email addresses depending on how many computers you have, since you can only have 1 email logged in an account at a time. Hope this helps! Happy Gaming!!

I think I may need to clarify a bit. I think we're set for the console setup (Xbox, Playstation, Switch). What I'm looking for specifically is online gaming on PC for our computer Lab if anyone is doing anything like that. So, what kind of computer setup you're using and what platforms you're using on the computers. What kind is restrictions or issues you've faced. Can you use one account on all PCs, or do you need separate ones for each... That kind of thing.

Thank you,
Tyson

Does anyone out there use/subscribe to any of the online gaming platforms for gaming in your libraries? We're looking to start some gaming nights and are going to be using all the gaming consoles, but would also like to have a computer based option for those that are more into that. We are in the process of setting up a new computer lab and I want to set it up to allow our youth that come in regularly to be able to play more than Minecraft and Roblox. Essentially, I'm just looking for info right now. Like what are you using and what does your setup look like? If you do subscribe to these services, are you able to use one account on all computers, or do you need multiple accounts for each computer? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tyson
