Some users also mentioned the convenience of having the Chromecast connected to the router through an ethernet cable. For more specifications on proper configurations, refer to the “Steam Link – Suggested Network Settings” page. One quick and easy tip is to ensure that no other audio or video streaming is going on through the home network while streaming games. Users reported that networks running below 5GHz don’t provide a good gaming experience. Type it in the dialog box and hit “Enter.”.Back on your PC, your Steam client will ask you for that PIN number.Under the “Remote play” option, make sure that the “Enable Remote Play” is activated.Open the “Steam” menu at the top left corner of the window and navigate to “Settings”.Switch on your PC and log in to your Steam client.Once your Chromecast has loaded, download “Steam Link”.Switch on your TV where the Chromecast is connected.This can get tricky, especially if you move it from device to device, because of Bluetooth idiosyncrasies. As noted earlier this week, Steam quietly enabled Bluetooth support in the Steam Controller in preparation for this launch. Then you connect your Bluetooth controller to the device. It also means your streaming box or phone has to be attached to the same network and the bandwidth needs to be pretty constant. That's because it sends whatever's coming off the video card to the app. If you've never used Steam's streaming, you should note that it completely takes over your system, simultaneously displaying the streamed game. First, you enable and set up Steam's in-home streaming feature within the desktop Steam application on a host system attached to your network. There are three steps to setting up the system. In that sense, the clean, easy-to-use interface is a welcome surprise. So it's set the bar pretty low in what we expect from the company on mobile. Valve's been lagging in its app development if you judge by its current Steam mobile app (on both Android and iOS), which is clunky, ugly and missing some capabilities.
