Hi all, I’ve been thinking about setting things up so I can play Steam games on my TV but I’m a little confused on the setup. So here’s what I was planning:
- main laptop in office will stream the game
- TV in living room connected to Nvida shield
- Nvidia shield runs Steam Link to connect to laptop
- Controllers connect to Nvidia shield??
I think the main thing that confuses me is if I can connect my controllers to the Nvidia shield or do they need to connect to the laptop?
Anyone have a similar setup that works?
I have a steam link box in the bedroom and another in the lounge - controllers just to connect to the link, and the link handles sending the button presses to the computer running the game.
The steam link app on the Shield would work in a similar way. I would suggest to use ethernet if you can, or even a powerline ethernet plug, for a smooth streaming experience
