Even if Comcast is giving you 150Mbps down, 5Mbps uploads aren’t going to cut it when you’re uploading a high-res video stream to the cloud.

First, you’re going to need an internet connection with excellent upload speeds.Make sure you’re on the same network and follow the setup wizard until the pairing process is complete. Using the desktop Steam client, from the “Remote Play” menu, select “Pair Steam Link,” and then enter the code seen on your phone.If you’re using two PCs, you won’t need to pair them in order to stream in-home just sign in to the same account on the same network.

If you’re streaming to a mobile device, go to the Steam Link app settings on your phone and select “Other Computer.” A four-digit PIN will appear on your screen that you’ll enter on the desktop to complete the pairing process.

If you’re streaming to another Windows MacOS computer, all you need is to have the latest Steam client installed there as well, with no additional software required. If you want to stream games to your phone, download the Steam link client to your Android or Apple device.

Before you do any streaming (in-home or otherwise), you’ll probably want to download or update to the latest version of the Steam desktop client for the best experience.
