About:
Parsec is a high-performance remote desktop and streaming platform designed for low-latency screen sharing and remote control. It enables users to access and control a computer from anywhere with near-zero latency, making it feel like they are sitting directly in front of it. Its primary value is delivering a seamless, high-framerate experience for both interactive applications and media streaming.
Key Features:
  • Ultra-low latency streaming for responsive remote control
  • Hardware-accelerated performance (GPU encoding/decoding)
  • Peer-to-peer connection architecture for direct links
  • Host and guest capabilities for multi-user access
Use Cases:
  • Remote work and accessing a powerful workstation from a laptop
  • Cloud gaming and streaming high-fidelity graphics
  • Collaborative screen sharing for technical support or co-development
Alternatives:
  • TeamViewer – Parsec prioritizes low-latency and high-framerate for gaming/creative work, while TeamViewer is more focused on general IT support and file management.
  • Moonlight – Moonlight requires a host with an NVIDIA GPU and Sunshine software, whereas Parsec provides an all-in-one, cross-platform solution with built-in hosting.
