While Steam Link will work over Wi-Fi, you’ll have a much better time if your device (such as Android TV box or Chromebook) is wired in with Ethernet.

The Steam Link app from the Google Play Store.The same goes for streaming to your smartphone. You can’t use a Chromebook’s keyboard and touchpad, so you’ll need to use it in touchscreen mode or pair a Bluetooth controller. The SHIELD TV’s included controller works, or you can use a Bluetooth controller with Android TV. Here’s what you need to get started before using Steam Link: is Steam Link the best way still? If so, whats the best way to handle playing non-steam games through it? Do I have to add every game to steam as a Non-Steam Game (yuck)? And if not, what's the best way to get PC games streamed to a TV (that also passes through 5.1 audio)? I have an Apple TV, and the TV is a X85J which is a 'GoogleTV' with limited Google Play Store support (doesn't have Game Pass, but I believe I can side load that on?), so anything that comes through those solutions would be great.How To Set Up Steam Link on Your Android Device I could have spent time trying to trouble shoot, but I instead uninstalled.

I've tried Rainway in the past, not on this apartment internet and I found it weirdly fiddly, it launched a Yakuza game at 4:3, and the controls locked up. I've been able to listen to a few 5.1 albums I've ripped over the years no problem. What I *do* like about Steam Link is it passes down 5.1 audio, which my Soundbar picks up, and the rear speakers definitely are playing discrete sounds. Even at 900+ Mbps down, it claims it tops out at 100, which is strange, and there's a fair amount of compression/lag. Everything still gets 900+ Mbps tho).Īnd I set up the Steam Link Apple TV app. I have my PC in my bedroom and the TV in the 'main room', and both are wired to the router (the TV/Apple TV/etc are being passed through a Gigabit switch however.

Hey all, just moved into my first apartment, got myself a nice TV, an Atmos soundbar (more on that in a sec), and the place is wired for fiber, meaning I'm getting 1000 Mbps up and down.
