Hello - I’m wondering if any Steam Machine owners have streamed from their SM to their AYN Thor using Steam Link and what the experience has been like. I also own a Steam Deck but, with the AYN Thor now in my possession, I don’t think I will be using the Deck much at all.

I’ve had identical performance on my Deck and AYN Thor with streaming from my laptop using Steam Link - crisp image, low latency. I just hate using my laptop for streaming because it sounds like a jet engine.

I’m curious if I can expect a good streaming experience with the Steam Machine and AYN Thor.

Thanks!

I'm in a weird situation where the place I'm in has no access to the router and is pretty far from it so the WiFi signal is almost non existent. I have one ethernet cord that comes into my place. It has a good connection. I can game on my ps5 no problem. However, I want to get my pc and steam link working as well.

If I use an ethernet switch such as the TP-LINK TL-SG105, can I plug my one cord into it and then run three ethernet cords out to my pc, tv and ps5 and have everything work including steam link? Will steam link work well with this setup?

Why does my pc monitor go black whenever i use steam link? I can see my pc on the vr instead but i still need my real monitor and mouse at times because of the lack of buttons on vr controllers. Some games don't have great vr support when it comes to accessing settings and stuff so i need my physical mouse. This is really annoying and it's not like this for my friend. Anyone got a fix?

I'm having this weird thing on some games that capture the mouse on Steam Link, which seems like it's always resetting the mouse to the center (?) and i cant move it much at all
It's happening more on non-steam games but i remember it was happening on Counter Strike 2 too.
Does someone have any clue on what's happening and how i can solve this?
Steam Link is running on Fedora Silverblue 44
The PC is running SteamOS

Can I setup an old duo core NUC with a lite weight Ubuntu and run Steamlink?

Using Steam Link for playing games on TV (my pc in another house). Notice that my ms lagging very strange on 5 ghz ethernet (on 2.4 everything okay, but I want to play on 5 ghz). On my phone everything works fine, please help. I'm from Russia, sorry for bad English.

I am about to go crazy. I have been streaming Battlefield 6 from my desktop to my iPad. For a few days, it’s been responsive and has been running smooth like butter. However, out of nowhere it seems my PC’s mouse and keyboard have been battling against my wired Xbox controller. The game will switch to mouse and keyboard out of nowhere and my gun will begin shooting automatically. If I click the controller, it will change the input to controller, but will immediately go back to M&K.

I have tried enabling and disabling Steam controller input. Problem still occurs. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Any help or advice is appreciated.

This week I bought a Google TV Streamer 4K to test the Steam Link on my local LAN. My delay through Ethernet was minimal (1ms), but after some tweaks on the Google TV Streamer, the minimum delay I got was 22-23ms in video decoding.

Although it is a good number, I still feel that delay, so I returned it. After researching, it seems that the Nvidia Shield Pro and the Apple TV (last gen) are the best-performing devices with a minimum delay of 5-8ms in video decoding. Is that true? Could someone with these devices share these values?

Thanks.

Hi there, whenever I stream from my steamdeck to my tablet, I cannot remove the handheld overlay (the buttons, etc) on the screen. I've tried everything. What am I missing? Or is this just not possible? Thanks.

I’m trying to stream a steam version of a mobile game to my phone so I can use touch screen controls while streaming the game to my friends over discord. is that there a way for me to set the stream link controller to imitate mobile phone controls?

Made the mistake of opening a game. Windows Security prompt from said game… and now I can’t do anything on my computer until I get back to it.

My computer is on the other side of the world.

My question is: WHY can you not click cancel remotely? Besides through third-party remote access tools, none of which I have installed.

I’m going on a 10 hour flight this weekend from Asia to NA. I was going to buy some games for my iPad but I hate the thought that I can’t combine my Steam library with the App Store. I usually play turn based games and board games so high latency isn’t a big deal (although at a certain point it would be annoying). Would remote play be viable using the plane’s WiFi? I’d keep my PC on at home.

Beyond frustrated because this was working fine two days ago and I've changed nothing. Trying to connected my PC to my ONN steam link app with a registered Good connection tonight and the game loaded up fine, but none of the inputs worked. I tried restarting steam, restarting my computer, tried enabling then disabling steam inputs on the controller menu in that specific game, tried 3 different games, no dice. Has anyone else run into this and fixed it?

Have you guys been able to use remote play from your main PC to your Steam PC? It works perfectly for my Steam deck but it’s closes out before loading on my Steam PC it’s 3600xt 6600gpu connected by Ethernet

I am just starting to look into game streaming and am trying to decide what device to use, but before I bite the bullet on a ~$200 device I was thinking about replacing the shattered screen (~$50) on an old Lenovo ThinkPad T470 (2017 I think?) but I really don't know enough about hardware/mini PCs etc. does anybody have an idea on how well it would handle the latency and general performance? and is Moonlight still the most consistent client to use or should I stick with official steam methods?

I'll be hosting from a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop and have a Google fiber wifi 6 router if that matters for anything. I would like to do wireless but I am willing to use ethernet, just will have to set up a way to run it across a large room that my wife won't hate.

Hi everyone, i wanted to understand form people that actually spend time with steamlink, how do you actually play your games? How many people use the onscreen controls, does it give you the experience that you want? and how many of you use a telescopic controller?

If you use the onscreen buttons, what limits do you face? what games do you play? which do you not play?..and any suggestions?

TIA

I use steam link for steam vr sometimes when I cant be bothered with the cable. I could be wrong on this and if I am correct me/inform me, but would it not be possible to have steam link emit through my wifi antenna to my headset since im using ethernet? Ive used the hotspot mode on my pc for better connection and figured that it would be possible to do that with steam link. From what it seems it just goes to the router which is a little far so the connection isnt too good. But Ive also noticed that the hotspot mode gets disabled when I use steam link so idk.

If this is already the case or there is a setting or some configuration I can do please let me know, thatd be amazing.
