if your pc doesn't have bluetooth and dont want to buy a dongle. you can just use steam link, connect your mobile, disable audio and video output to reduce latency. connect controller to phone instead and play on pc

I'm a secuity guard I get a lot of free time at work for last year I got caught up with all my tv shows and moves netflx hulu etc, Basicly I ran out of shows to watch. I have a really good gaming pc at home but i'm not allowed to bing my desktop setup to work. If i could run my steam games through my phone at work that would be amazing.
I prefer DVB to Netflix or Hulu lol Laptop , steam deck would be cool but you have a good gaming PC. Cooling wise desktop is best anyway, and maybe cost wise too If there would be a way to remotely wake up the PC if im away that would be cool And yeah if it would restart on driver crash and whatnot , as steam starts automatically anyway
@Anakin.xx1 Why? I'm getting $33 an hour to do nothing. Yes, it's an armed security positions and if something happens, I am expected to handle it. And you need prior military or law enforcement experience. But I have been here for 2 years. I've only been shot at a few times.
So here's my predicament, my pc is upstairs and my house is to small to have it in living room. I play switch with my family but neglect my poor pc in my room. This option is free like mentioned,, so in theory, if I buy FF9 on steam for the mods, I can play it downstairs on tab or phone. 🎉
I use my ps4 controller, and a holder for my phone. I combined my controller with my smartphone, and it's like a portable console. Some games I only play on this setup. Dragon ball sparkling zero i only play on the phone, even online . I personally doesn't notice any lag. Even comparing with the pc screen, I can't see any lag. For me steam link is perfect.

Ő Talks about the steam link app waking up the PC , so that it doesn't have to run idle all the time. I mean if the components aren't high idle power it's ok. It wakes it up on wifi but not on mobile data , I think it's some sleeping package or something else
I did all the steps but whenever I launch the Link my phone screen stays black and the PC screen changes to "phone" screen. I have no idea what causes this switch...
Could I be outside my house somewhere else using it? Or do I need to be in the same house and Wifi always. I know he mentioned you could technically use Celular Data
Yeah, as long as you have stable connection and your phone and steam link are properly paired, you can for example, start your game at home on wifi, then get in the car, go to the store, play at the store, then go to a restaurant and play there. It's just remotely controls your PC and streams the video back to the phone. From wherever.

It won’t turn on or off by itself, but you can exit big picture mode on Steam Link and it’ll open your desktop. Once you’re there, use the mouse to shut down the computer manually
