Understanding PC-to-Phone Game Streaming (DallasFixTech Overview)
Game streaming works by rendering the game on your powerful desktop PC and then compressing and sending the video/audio feed to your phone. Your phone, in turn, sends your controller or touch inputs back to the PC, creating a remote gaming experience. Key factors for a smooth stream include:
- Network Speed & Stability: A strong, low-latency Wi-Fi connection (preferably 5GHz) at home is crucial. For outside your home, a robust mobile data connection is needed.
- PC Hardware: Your gaming PC needs to be powerful enough to run the games and encode the video stream simultaneously.
- Streaming Software: Dedicated applications (Steam Link, Moonlight, AMD Link) optimize this process.
- Phone Hardware: Your phone needs sufficient processing power to decode the video stream smoothly.
