See 4 ways to stream PC gameplay to your phone, TV and more

Streaming gameplay from your PC to other devices is a common practice among gamers, streamers, and other users looking for a different experience. However, there are always questions about the best way to duplicate the screen, especially when this option does not appear natively on devices.

So, we’ve put together a list that explores four different ways to stream your PC game to other devices, such as your phone or TV. Check out more information below.

NVIDIA GeForce Now

This platform, developed and supported by NVIDIA, is a streaming service focused on games. Basically, it allows you to access games already purchased from other platforms (such as Steam) or directly play those that are in the service's catalog.

Regardless of where the game comes from, it’s hosted on NVIDIA’s servers and promises to perform well –– even on low-end devices. What’s new is that the website and app allow for streaming to different screens, so you can play the same PC games from anywhere else.

Stream Remote Play

Also known as Steam Link, this feature works very simply: you install an application on the device that will receive the signal (for example, your TV), and log in to the same device. Then, simply connect it to your Steam account used on your PC (either through the application or in the browser) and start streaming. This way, you can, for example, play on your TV while the game continues to run on your PC.

Moonlight

This option is for players who own games that belong to platforms other than Steam, such as Epic and Blizzard. The Moonlight software, although it only works for users who have an NVIDIA graphics card, uses Geforce Experience technology to stream the screen.

Basically, you need to activate the “Game Stream” option within the GeForce Experience settings, download and launch the Moonlight app on the device that will receive the signal, and connect the PC app to the TV app with the password. Then, a broadcast will start.

Parsec

The Parsec app is similar to Steam's streaming system, but instead of just streaming your gameplay, you share your entire desktop. In other words, it's like you can control your computer from a different screen, which also means you can play on that new screen.

This option can be very useful for those who want to stream PC games that are not on Steam.
