Steam Link To Any TV With Steam Deck | Stream your PC To Any Screen

[@dutArkham]

Honestly idk why this is so niche, but I thank you for making this video.

[@grahamstephens9931]

What a clear and simple tutorial. I honestly couldn't believe you have only just over 1k subs. Your quality of presentation and content screams of someone with 100k+ subs. All the best with the channel. New sub here from the UK.

[@TekToyzGaming]

Thanks a million 🙏🏼. Appreciate your feedback. Makes me wonder if some are just buying subs 🤷🏽‍♂️now looking at this video after a while I did do a decent job lol

[@grahamstephens9931]

@@TekToyzGaming Very decent job indeed, Sir 👍

[@Paradoxolotl]

Agreed

[@henningb.1162]

Great Video. Exactly what I was looking for. Did you have a comparison in regards of latency to other devices like a fire or apple tv? I plan to use it for streaming via lan, but weren't really satisfied with the performance from my fire tv.

[@TekToyzGaming]

Thanks for the feedback. Firetv hasn't been a good experience for me either. Very buggy and there is some latency. Amazon doesn't have steam link in its app store (technically unsupported) so you have to sideload it. Apple works great. Used it on ipad and MacBook and installed from app store (supported).

[@henningb.1162]

@@TekToyzGaming Thanks for the quick response. Now I have to do some thinking on how much mobile gaming I would with it, or if I'm better off with something like an apple tv.

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@henningb.1162 I think an apple TV would be dope. The performance is good and You 'll have some good native streaming apps and apple arcade. Its the priciest but you;ll be in good shape for a while. Unless you go with the NVIDIA shield. not so cheap either but an excellent and powerful box.

[@micheleava8313]

But the controller,where did you connect? To the pc or steam deck?

[@TekToyzGaming]

Its connected to the Steamdeck, either via bluetooth or wired. if too far from your pc cant connect it that way. But I guess if you're really close to your pc then that's an option.

[@benkekovax]

So, as the Steam Link app has been terminated on November 30th 2023, what other options do we have to wirelessly cast the screen of the Steam Deck to a TV? Does Chromecast work?

[@TekToyzGaming]

It’s only for Samsung TVs. They’re discontinuing their version of the steam link natively on their tvs. You can use chromecast, Apple TV or any other android tv device.

[@CHiTO316]

I installed MW2 on my PC that has a 5700XT GPU and whenever i try to stream the game on my Steam Deck the game would load perfectly fine but none of the buttons works. I mean i can click A or B to select a game mode but as soon as i am in a game and i use the joysticks my character won’t more. Neither the left or right joystick work

[@TekToyzGaming]

What controller profile is loaded? You can try loading a different controller profile. Check community profiles as well.

[@CHiTO316]

@@TekToyzGaming i didn’t change anything so it should be the standard one

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@CHiTO316 also, are you launching it in gaming mode or desktop? try testing it with a third party controller as well or even another device if you have it handy just to see if it works streaming to a phone or iPad. I havent tested MW2 so not too sure if there is some issue with streaming it.

[@CHiTO316]

@@TekToyzGaming did it in game mode but i will try it in desktop mode and with a controller

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@CHiTO316 ok let us know what happens.

[@Sheppardsg1]

can you hook up steam link on steam deck then plug in your mouse keyboard that way so you dont have to buy steam dock just having on link laying around for ages xd

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@Sheppardsg1 short answer, yes. a dock isn’t necessary But you will need more usb ports to connect your mouse keyboard

[@Sheppardsg1]

@@TekToyzGaming ty cause for me k&m is a must

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@Sheppardsg1 you just need a cheap usb hub and should be good to go.

[@yorgohoebeke]

Can you use the steam deck as a controller and use the PC to run the game, and play on a TV?

[@TekToyzGaming]

It has to be running on the steamdeck connected to the screen.

[@yorgohoebeke]

@@TekToyzGaming Okay, thank you for clarifying.

[@GeniusBrilliant]

what about the games which has been added to steam library but are outside of steam e.g. diablo 4. I dont have this arrow down to detach from pc

[@TekToyzGaming]

Good point you bring up. I am not sure steam recognizes launchers that way. I’m curious to test launchers now. They may or may not be compatible with steam remote play.

[@TheFantom_X]

The Steam Deck streams ok on itself, but if you dock it and hook it to a TV it runs like shit.

[@TekToyzGaming]

Agreed. Don’t recommend docking it and running it directly that way.

[@andrewbarreto5050]

cant get the controller to work (xbox/ps4) when I connect it to my steam deck while remote playing. any idea how to fix that?

[@TekToyzGaming]

Not sure what could be the issue. It connects to my Xbox controller is Bluetooth with nos issues. Though I will say it behaves weird with a pair of wireless earbuds I have. Is it the same issue for all controllers?

[@andrewbarreto5050]

@@TekToyzGaming yeah whatever controller I hook up is the same issue. Although it appears only touch controls work. For example I can interact with the game by touching my screen or sweeping the touch pad on the ps4 controller 😓

[@TekToyzGaming]

@andrewbarreto5050 try connecting the controllers via cable to the Steamdeck to see if it works that way normally. Also when pairing does it actually pair. Also make sure the controllers are updated (firmware)

[@oddoneout1835]

I was hoping there was something to share my screen to a TV like an antenna. Plus my deck screen shuts off when I plug in. If there's a way to keep my deck screen on, I'd like to learn that. Nothing I've tried works.😒

[@TekToyzGaming]

Not totally sure what you mean by a TV antenna for sharing screen. Also try going to your steam deck desktop and set displays to screen mirroring. maybe this will help with keeping your deck screen on.

[@iBuff_]

Hey, my Samsung TV expands the screen from the Steam Deck. Any recommendations for settings to get that corrected? Thanks.

[@TekToyzGaming]

Sure. Ok so first did you check these settings 03:30 ? Might need to change these settings.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Woke up today and realized OMFG can I do this ? And use my 100” 8K tv with my sim racing cockpit? Let’s see.

[@TekToyzGaming]

Wow you need to let us know how that works out!

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

@@TekToyzGaming Got it working in 10 mins. My sim rigs been sitting for over a year because I couldn’t take playing on the little monitor anymore and can’t afford nor do I have room for a triple monitor setup right now as that takes up 8’ across. So this just made my year.

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@SticksAandstonesBozo Awesome! Knew someone out here would appreciate this setup. Enjoy.

[@MVergaraQ]

what's the game shown at 8:45?

[@TekToyzGaming]

That’s Asterigos. Pretty decent game.

[@Paradoxolotl]

Just spent 10mins of this tryina process why it's not more efficient to stream directly from pc-tv 🤦🏽‍♂️ for anyone else feeling momentarily stumped.. this is for people who don't have the Steam Link app already installed or available on their tv 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@Paradoxolotl having it directly on your tv or on a media streamer is another way. Just have to be sure you can pair or connect a controller to tv or streamer.

[@szpw4244]

Can you make a Step by Step guide how to pass video trough steamdeck using steamlink? I can only Connect pad do steamlink and use it straight at tv but if i try to stream games from pc then it doesnt use steam link but it goes trough internet and latency is much worse :-(

[@TekToyzGaming]

Not exactly sure what you’re trying to describe here. Technically the steam deck can connect to your pc and pass through your pc gaming through steam deck and a connected tv screen. Streaming this way shouldn’t go over the internet like cloud gaming.

[@szpw4244]

@@TekToyzGaming did you use steamlink device? Hardware not steam remote.

[@TekToyzGaming]

@@szpw4244 that is correct. I use steam link with the steam deck. You have the option when launching a game to run it locally on the steam deck or stream it from your pc to the steam deck.

[@szpw4244]

@@TekToyzGaming i have steam link paired with PC and when i stream PC to steam deck then it streams trough steam remote cloud (internet) not local network

How you got to button Next to the power button

[@TekToyzGaming]

Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the led next to the power button?

Why do you look like Luis Guzmán niece or nephew or something? But anyway, thanks for the details review. Cheers!

[@TekToyzGaming]

🤣🤣that’s my uncle! Jk. I can see the resemblance though. I like Luis. Cool dude. My cousin knows him.

[@AlwaysStayGeeky]

Euhm. So you still just play steam on your pc with a tv as a monitor….

[@TekToyzGaming]

I have only 1 tv I use that has no access to steam link app natively. So I plug in my steamdeck as a portable steamlink.

[@SkullJerry]

You didn't tell me anything, why you making this so difficult?
