About:
Moonlight is an open-source GameStream client that enables users to stream games and applications from an NVIDIA GeForce Experience-equipped PC to various devices. It provides low-latency, high-quality remote access to your desktop, leveraging the NVIDIA GameStream protocol. This allows for a seamless gaming experience on different platforms, effectively turning any compatible device into a remote display for your gaming rig.
Key Features:
  • Low-latency streaming for responsive gameplay
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS)
  • High resolution and high frame rate support (up to 4K 120Hz)
  • Open-source and community-driven
Use Cases:
  • Streaming PC games to a Mac or Linux machine
  • Playing games on a mobile device or tablet from a powerful desktop PC
  • Remote desktop access for graphically intensive applications
Alternatives:
  • Steam Link – Steam Link is limited to streaming games from the Steam library, whereas Moonlight can stream the entire desktop and any application.
  • Parsec – Parsec uses its own proprietary protocol and requires an account, while Moonlight is open-source and relies on NVIDIA's GameStream.
