Moonlight Game Streaming

Moonlight Game Streaming is an app that lets you stream computer games and play them on your smartphone, tablet, or even other computers. To do so, Moonlight Game Streaming makes use of an open source implementation of the NVIDIA GameStream protocol. With it, you can stream the image on your monitor to other devices with hardly any lag and with the best possible image quality, including bitrates of up to 150 Mbps. So it's best to connect your device with an Ethernet cable or position it very close to the router if you're using Wi-Fi. When it comes to smartphones, Wi-Fi is more than enough because of the low resolution and the ability to apply a more aggressive bitrate, since the image compression is barely noticeable.

To use it, the computer responsible for the signal needs a NVIDIA graphics card. Go to the GeForce Experience panel. There, you can go to Settings > Shield, where you can activate it. After that, enter a four-digit code to pair the device, after which you can stream on any device with your favorite peripheral, including Steam games.

Moonlight Game Streaming supports 120 FPS, HDR, and 4K resolution. Thanks to this, you can play with excellent image quality and hardly any lag. As for the controls, you can use touch controls, connect a controller, or connect a keyboard and mouse as if you were playing on a small PC.

In addition to playing on a local network, you can also stream online to play computer games remotely. The lag on local networks is negligible, but away from home, you might notice a slight delay. For casual games, you won't notice much of a difference, but if you're playing competitively, you may.

So if you want to stream games on your local network to your smartphone or table, download Moonlight Game Streaming.
