New family sharing and right of owner

So, if someone in my family group is playing a game, the only owner of which in family group is me (so it's my copy of game), can I somehow kick him out of game, or all games on your account are public property from the moment you join family group, and you have no priority in playing them?

That is by design, in the new Steam Family system all family members are the "owner" of every game shared.
If someone starts a game a currently free license for that game is assigned to them.
There is no ownership priority anymore and no way to kick someone off a game you bought and want to play right that moment.
Only way is to set a game you currently want to play a lot to "private" in your Steam library which will exclude it from the Steam Family for as long as that setting is on.
But apart from that you have to contact the person who is currently playing the game and tell them " hey could you finish up i want to play my game?" .
Another reason the system is only meant for close family members living in the same household.

Not sure if this helps but try using the hidden feature it’ll hide the game for everyone but you. Again not sure if this will fix your issue but worth a try.

Yeah, I know about hidding feature, just was curious if there is more straight and exact way. And of course, you can contact your family group member, yep, but again, I was curious if you still have some priority.
