Need a way to remotely install game demos
I tried looking everywhere in the Steam mobile app, Steam website (mobile ver.), and Steam website (desktop ver.) and there doesn't seem to be any way to remotely install game demos anymore.

On the mobile app there's just no info at all on the game page that there's a demo, the only way to find the link to the game demo is directly through the search. Clicking on the demo link brings you to the page for the full game, however, with no way to add the game demo to my library (and thus remotely install).

The mobile website is the exact same as the mobile app, just with a much clunkier UI.

The desktop website *would* be able to add the game to my library, but when clicking on the "download demo" button it instead tries to open the Steam desktop application (note: I'm on my phone) with no way of simply adding the game to my library. Downloading Steam on my work computer is not an option.

You have to use the Steam Link app to do this.

Well I think the point is I shouldn't have to remote into my computer and install the demo that way. I just tried it and it works, but Big Picture mode absolutely sucks on a phone. It also doesn't work if you don't have a stable WiFi connection (which is most places at work for me).
