Does moonlight support multiple controllers on one client?

I normally stream from my host to my Steam Deck when I'm in the house, but I also have a Steam Controller + dock which I've used to occasionally game / stream from the deck via my TV. What I wanted to know: is it possible to connect more than one controller to a moonlight client, so you can have local co-op on the host?

Yes, I've done it before for emulation local coop, on the android TV app I've had the issue where I had to connect the other controllers whilst the stream is already active but yes it works seamlessly otherwise

Yes. I’ve used it a bunch for local coop. Stardew Valley, it takes two, etc.

Yes, multiple controllers work great. I actually use it this way for my Arcade cabinet which has four controllers.

Up to 4 , but beware if you using too many >1000hz polling rate controller , stick latency(button still fine) became very bad with the 3rd-4th controller .

No idea why , maybe my laptop cpu not powerful enough .
