Whenever my brother play in steam using windows i hop to also play another game and it will always say "stream" not "play" when i want to play, we use the same account
Is that an issue or a feature

If i made another account and family shared the accounts will i be able to play?

Then you'd need to own the game twice either way.

Maybe
Not sure about that

afaik, for every player you want to be able to play at the same time, you need a separate copy of the game.
Actually, re-reading your message. There shouldn't be an issue tbh.
Since you are asking if you can play two separate games.

click the little drop-down next to the stream button.
and click "This computer"

You cannplay two different games at same time
But not same game in 2 devices

Exactly
correction.
Yeah, for your use case, family sharing should work, as long as you don't play the same game.

I use family sharing and it works very nicely
