Does steam link do anything nowadays?

[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

Or is it junk?

[Spawn of Totoro]

It does what is always has done. Streams your desktop to a TV in your home.

That hasn't changed.

That like asking does a car do anything nowadays or is it junk.

Are you refering the device, if so the Steam link is a device that allow you to stream from your PC to the device that somewhere else in your home, or another location.


Or are you refering to the app, it's an app same purpose as the device, but the app is available, via Google Play, app store, and Linux store for Devices that has ARM base processor, that means your smart phone, tablet, or raspberry Pi.

[Mr. Smiles]

I mean, I still use mine to stream my desktop to my living room tv...

[ReBoot]

The Steam Link works just fine nowadays.

I haven't used it in couple months but was using my fire 8 tablet to play my steam games at one point ya know that crap tablet can use steam link decently well it's doing alright lol. also used it on my Samsung J3 Orbit smartphone just can't handle that small ass screen for on screen controls it's decent with a controller just that small screen hard to work with. But overall steam link i like it worth tinkering with if you looking for something like that to tinker with.

Remote play is another feature release back in 2019, where can group people into same session, much like parsec, or etc... Steam link release in 2015 is not like that at all, it was a one way streaming service no one could join you on it, as well they later release app that offer via google play, app store, and linux for ARM base device only at the time. Remote play expanded this, not only can treat it the same as Steam link, but can allow multiple people to join you in a group play.

The Steam link app I refer to is a standalone app that AFAIK in the past, not talking about the Steam client. Steam has provided PC to PC streaming regertless of ARM, or x86/x64 processor, as you use Steam client to Steam client on same network, or using tunnel to be on same network. Steam link app goes a little beyond where you don't have to be on same network anymore from 2020 update i think it was, not sure when they made a Windows version/

I checked, and saw it was not something I was aware of when they push this out.
March 23th 2021 you don't see it there, but 2 days later they added it.

I hope not. I got one a long time ago and never used it. Just found it today and I'm trying to figure out where to place it! :P

I used it to play Kotor 2 in the living room a few months ago.
