Setting up Steam Remote Play (PC to PC, 2022)

Realized I forgot to go over optimizing the client connection, would you guys like me to make a video on that next?

For those who want to give a little thanks, I just set up a page over at buymeacoffee as a new way to show support. The internet can be pretty neat sometimes. :)

Preorder StreamSavers! (Steam key included):

Not much of a commenter (weapons grade lurker); but this is lovely little guide. Now I can let my gaming rig do the heavy lifting, so I can get me some monster slayage in Diablo from my laptop on days when I am less able to sit at my desk. I have a plethora of ailments etc, suffice to say on my bad days I do pine for my games.

So Thanks to you kind sir, and you have earned my subscription. :)

You know, I was going to deliberately NOT subscribe after that introduction because I'm a real ass who doesn't like being told what to do.. but then the video was so helpful and SHORT (love a good 6 minute tutorial) that I decided What The Hey, you got my subscription. Keep up the good work, Mr. TheTech.

Hey Mike, just gotta respond to your "most likely you aren't subbed" intro, and let you know (you may already know however) it's due to your content. I don't mean the quality etc of it, the literal content being provided. Tutorial channels will always struggle with any kind of consistent interaction, as few will need multiple tutorials at all, and pretty much no one will need all of them. It's a "fire and forget" subject (like compilations etc) that's easy to google "How do I.." etc that people will use the solution provided, potentially leave their thanks, and move on with whatever they were doing pre-issue. It's an unfortunate fact, that because it's such a geared format you completely dissect your audience with it apposed to things like "Dave plays this game, that game, oh look a vlog" where it's generic/related content and the focus/draw is the person. Even with your personality draw to keep someone coming back through needing to install the new iOS, connect a windows controller to a PC, levelling up in Disgaea, and using a PS5 controller on a Switch... is much less likely. Although the content is generally linked (like how a lets player may play different generes, but they're still just playing games), the only link is that it's a tutorial whereas the goal of them is VERY specific and therefore not a return draw to many people.
I've pointed out the "problem" but I don't really have a suggestion to improve on that, other than perhaps make the tutorials more of an experience-vlog like situations..? "I played on the Switch with a PS5 controller! And you can too!" etc, assuming you aren't opposed to such baiting approaches lol. However as I said it's a "problem" not a true problem as you are creating content which is helping people, from many different angles and areas, and you've got a pretty high sub count from such a difficult field to earn it in too, so good work and keep up the good content :)

I did what you did but I didnt get a Stream pop up on the side of the game when I click into the game in my library

[donjuan]

Just what I needed. A 650 W consuming mobile device.

Mike thank you so much for this video! I appreciate you.

[eternalmaddness]

What am I doing wrong? Next to any game I click my desktop but it says install instead of stream

[forestaryn]

Thank you! I had all this stuff done and couldn't get the option to stream, but turning the remote play option off and back on fixed it (I'm at work and couldn't even listen to the audio so I was so glad you showed what you did lol)

[ImUrNightTerror]

can I do this with non steam games that I've added to steam library?

[SliQ]

And how is it performance wise? Can you play racing games for example in this way? Or is the delay noticeable? Thanks for answering, I actually thinking of buying a mini pc for that.

[bjdavis]

I just subscribed and I just have to tell you that you have the most incredible voice!! You should be a radio broadcaster or something!

[playboicharlie]

Your tech tips are very helpful. (Linus better watch out)

[donaldc]

I do have a problem that i cant figure out. When i was running linux as host and the steam link on my tv i could minimize steam and access my computer on the tv like i was sitting at my pc... On my new windows laptop when i try this i cant use any buttons on my controller. The cursor movement is there but nothing works to "click" a mouse button if that makes sense. So i cant select anything, double click, open anything...which means i cant play movies that way now. What is going on?

[tvent]

hey i have a gaming pc and im trying to remote share from my pc to my laptop when i press connect nothing happens

[jaxkthereaper]

Did everything you said to do.... Couldn't start streaming on remote computer.

[banks]

I am having some issues. so my other PC is doing what yours is doing in the video (i can stream my games from my second PC not my primary) How do i fix this? cause i cant get around this and i want too stream too my other one. im trying too get it too stream too a microsoft surface (it does do it i done it 1 time then it never did it again) so i wanna know how i can fix this issue.

[BaldRice]

So I have a question. Its possible for players to turn off your PC and look at sensitive files on your PC by using an exploit in remote play. If I simply keep remote play disabled will this prevent this from happening?

[idkwhatimdoing]

It's just not showing me the stream option.

[sheeshaled]

How do you fix delay tho... I have fast connection and my pc is mid range but there's still delay. What settings is the best
