Use Remote Play Together to play "online"

You can use Steam's new feature - Remote Play Together - to play "online". The host has to have a decent internet but I know I am getting the game soon to play it this way. I can stream to 3 people without big issues so this game is just for us.

For those who dont know - it allows one person with the game to stream it to others. Those others can use their controllers and the game treats them as if they were plugged into the host's PC. With decent internet it works almost perfectly with minor hiccups.

You can only have one shared keyboard/mouse though. Depends on particular games and how they deal with local mutliplayer.

Alternatively, there is a program called Parsec that allows pretty much the same thing. That one is not integrated into Steam though but because of that, it works on literally anything.

Hey! Thank you for your interest in Tools Up! and the Remote Play Together feature. I'll do my best to provide you with more info on some of the above-mentioned topics :)

Depends on the game in particular. If the game supports two people on a keyboard (like Overcooked does) then yes you can have two people on one keyboard.

It is not possible to play on the same keyboard. It would be nice to have and we'll definitely consider it.

People that connect to the host see host's screen and interact with his hardware - sharing the keyboard/mouse, using multiple controllers as if they were directly plugged into the host's PC. What you can or cannot do with this depends on each game and how it handles local multiplayer/coop.

One thing to note is that there is only one keyboard and mouse. As far as I know, there is no way to have two people on two keyboards (both using WASD for example). Only if you can bind keys to different parts of the same one keyboard. Same goes for mouse.

You can use the keyboard to play games like Worms where people take turns on the same keyboard. Or you can play games like Overcooked where you can have two people on one keyboard.

Remote Play Together is only for games that have the tag on the store page. Most of those with local multiplayer/shared screen do have this tag. There are exceptions, though. For example - Golf With Your Friends while having hot seat mode where people take turns on the same keyboard and mouse does NOT have this feature enabled for some reason. Therefore you cannot use it with that game.

But there is a program called Parsec that allows what Remote Play Together does, but it works for literally every game/program you can think of. So things like emulators can be played "online" using this program and again, it works great as long as the internet connection is stable and upload of the host is decent.

You are very right. Steam Remote Play Together is an extension of a Steam Remote Play feature, which is basically streaming. You share your screen with other players. It's as if you were playing on the same PC.

Other players can't use their keyboards, because Remote Play Together doesn't treat them as separate input devices. It works the same for all Steam Remote Play Together games. Similarly, if you tried connecting a second keyboard to your PC, it would be treated as the same one.

i dont know why i can just invite only one player to join the game, when i want to invite other player it said " End steam remote play " i try to solve the problem but nothing change at the end

Hi guys,
i have the same issue with just being able to invite one person now. I tried it some days ago with 2 friends and it worked fine, now I cannot add more than one friend and i tried it also via the friends list. very annoying to be honest. it worked actually pretty good.
Kind Regards

Sadly, I have no clue what could be causing this issue. I have tested this feature in Tools Up! with three other players online and it worked just fine.

Just an update - Steam is aware of the issue and works on a fix to be able to invite more than one person again. Saw a Steam member post on official forums.

I was just about to suggest contacting Steam Support :) Thanks VojNov!

Can dev make video tutorial to show how exactly does Remote Play work?

You just need to launch the game, open Friends tab via Steam Overlay (by default: Shift+Tab), right-click on your friend, and select Remote Play Together. You can find more details here: https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay/

Only one player needs to have a game :) But it is recommended for both players to have a good internet connection.
