Steam Link

Steam Link is an official application from valve, which allows you to fully play computer projects, while using a portable device on the android operating system. Valve created this utility so that users can play from a portable device, using the processing power of a personal computer. In fact, the game is launched on the PC, and the gameplay is transmitted to the portable device, the control is also transferred to it. This technology is now actively developing and is reaching a whole new level every day. Latency is minimal, and the number of frames and video quality have significantly improved, compared to the alpha version. To increase the comfort of the game, it is desirable to acquire a gamepad, ideally wireless.

Connection

To synchronize your handheld device and desktop you need to make minimal effort. Just connect your PC running steam and android device to the same router. To have maximum comfort, you need to use a good signal with high internet speed as well as 5 GHz frequency. For televisions, you can use an Ethernet cable connection. Once you are connected to a single broadcaster, just run the official utility and give permission to search for devices on the same local network. After selecting the desired pc, enter the password that will appear in the steam client on the PC. After customization, steam goes into "big picture" mode, which is ideal for control with a gamepad or touch screen. This interface is somewhat reminiscent of the graphical shell from game consoles.
