Stream games between 2 computers in the same local network

Anh-Thi Dinh
I want to play games from Mac M1 and these games are playing from another PC which is connected to the same local network with my Mac M1.
☝️
In case you want to full control between 2 computers in the local networks, or working with SSH, use No Machine. Read this note for more: Local connection between 2 computers.
We use Steam Link.

Setting up

On Windows
  • Install Steam (not Steam Link) and login.
  • Open Steam, install games you like.
  • In case you cannot automatically connect from Steam Link (on Mac), go to Steam > Settings > Remote Play > Tick Enable Remote Play > Pair Steam Link > Fill the number from Steam Link on Mac > Follow next instructions and done!
  • In case you want to add games from other platforms outside Steam: Games > Add Non-Steam Games to my library… > Tick the games you want. In case you don’t see your games, click Browse… and add the executed file of the game (eg.
    • Epic Games’ games are in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\)
    • Ubisoft Games’s games are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games
    • There is another way to add Ubisoft Games.
On Mac
  • Install Steam Link (no need to install Steam). No need to login.
  • Follow the instructions. All steps are automatic.

Others

  • Other options: Moonlight (you need NVidia driver for this one, it’s great too), Playnite.
