parsec and moonlight are a godsend for gaming on Linux. I have a windows VM running on an Unraid server and I'm able to use Parsec on my linux laptop to game either in the house or when I travel. Gaming was one of the main reasons why I didn't move fully over to Linux but with parsec or moonlight that's not an issue
Which one is your go to? Parsec or Moonlight?
@@RaidOwl I go back and forth. I use Parsec mostly because it allows multiple people to connect to the same PC so my friends and I can all connect and play smash bros. If I want to game in 4K on my TV, moonlight seems to handle that much better. Also moonlight supports HDR while parsec does not. If I’m traveling I tend to gravitate towards parsec because my laptop is only 1080p and I can also do other tasks on the PC because parsec is basically a better alternative to Remote Desktop
Great video. I am going to be back home for the holidays and this will be perfect for gaming away from my rig. One thing to note. You don't need to leave your PC running on 24/7. You can connect your PC to a smart plug and in the bios you can enable it to turn on when it receives power. Then remote in and turn it off through windows.
Imthinking about doing the same but is it true that if you power the pc off using the windows power off button and then turn off the smart plug, the plug wont turn the pc back on the next time you turn on the smart plug? Because i read 8 online that thats what happens
@@perimanvv2440 Connect your PC to the smart plug. Have it off. When you want to play turn the smart plug on through the app, this will jump start your PC. When you want to turn your PC off, either do it through parsec or with the smart plug. I read online it won't hurt the PC that way. When you are not playing leave the plug off.
@InfiniteEm i ended up seting up the pc to turn on at a cerain time everyday from the bios settings but thanks for the help!
@@perimanvv2440 sorry I read your question wrong. It will only turn on if you enable power up when receiving power in the bios. So turning on the plug would jump start your pc. That's great to hear
Won't you need to start the parsec app after it tirns on ? How would you do it remotely?
This was an amazingly well-thought-out video! Thank you!
Nearly explained. Thanks for this video man. 👍
Thanks for your video. it really helped 👍
I have used parsec to game when I house with for a family member and they live about 30mins away. It works great and my gaming pc uses Wi-Fi and parsec still works great outside of my home network.
How? I have massive latency and terrible fps even on the same wifi
underrated bro, ty for helping
Anytime!
And now there is a dedicated mobile app! I love it
To this day, in my Plex home network/gaming system; I still use a 1050 Ti, because it is a low power card (doesn't need a power connector, just plug and play) and it supports H.265 encoding to up to 24 users, and is a decent card that can run all my emulators with ease. Believe me, it is damn near the PERFECT home server GPU. And it's cheap!!!
1050 ti is a damn near perfect low power gpu
i'm surprised at how inexpensive it is
Good stuff thanks
Very interesting video. Is it also possible with Parsec to remotely control / connect from my windows pc 10 via wifi to my Galaxy Samsung Android?
Great stuff. Sube'd.
Any idea and/or pointers on how I can have parsec's on a vm and host of my laptop at same time to my server that has 2 parsec's running ? My server will have a vm and host running 2 gaming servers/parsec's.
Ie does parsec block same ip ?
so you have to download it on your pc ánd your laptop or whatever?
ᴠᴇʀʏ ɴɪᴄᴇ… ♥️❤️
you're talking about ping by feeling. there is a total ping indicated on top when you click the parsec icon. thanks for the video
the ping will show what the host sees so won't properly determine the ping from client->host->game server
To save energy on my gaming server at home , I use smart plug to turn on my pc (on bios AC power back on is enabled) turn on pc using smartplug app.. (parsec runs on start up) wait for a minute or 2 then connect using parsec app, when im done gaming or working on pc normal shutdown on the pc. set timer to shutdown the smartplug using the smartplug app. and when i turn on the smartplug again the PC will turn on and start up.
Parsec has an app for android phones and tabs
Oh nice that’s a good idea. The Parsec machine I have running is actually on my server so it’s on 24/7 anyway lol.
If you have smart home like home assistant or another one, then you can wake up the virtual machine via WOL, as well as turn it off via additional tools. I control by voice =)

I care to see the virtualized windows and pass through thing
I got a problem so basically when I try to connect from my school laptop it says I need permission from my home pc cuz I’m logging in from a different location
Someone can tell me if i can transfer data from the streamed pc to the "laptop". for example dowloading a blender project.
Thanks owl!
There he is 😆
can the web client on ipad in a chromium based browser work?
Hey dude thanks for another great video from you. You made my day by testing league of legends :) Do you think you can do a video on using Esxi as server and running a client windows 10 and installing league and using the host graphic card(An nvidia rtx or amd card) then running it on another machine( with inferior graphic/pc part ) and making use of the host you. I setup one pc and install esxi and windows 10 and some games and am trying to connect to to it on my local network and playing league and other games but I can’t fully utilise my gtx 1080ti which sits on the host .host is running a i7 5930k with 32 gb ram on esxi machine and am trying to play it on one of my old machine on the network .Greatly appreciate any advice thanking you in anticipation .regards
Hey! I have seen quite a few people mention using Esxi so that might be something I'll have to look in to. I am currently passing through 2 GPU's to VMs using proxmox so I'm sure I can figure out how to do the same in Esxi.
@@RaidOwl cool man , you’re a beast(league old slang 🤣) really loved all your videos very very informative
12:47 Straight to the point. No continuation of spending money for no reason. Anyone who has a Xbox s, playstation 4 or 5 should be using this. Play online for without a subscription. How's it done? First you set up remote play on a PC. After the game console and the PC are synced together as 1 device. Then you proceed to turn on parsec in the PC. Host the remote play screen, you now have working inputs for player 2 if they stick a controller inside the PC they own. Your friend doesn't even have a Xbox, playstation 4 or 5 but it works. If you don't believe me there's video on RUclips already proving it works. Why pay for a online subscription when you can set one up for free on any console that does remote play.
come play new super mario bros u with me link is here
@@ninjakidzTV-Fans exactly
@@100Bucks ok
Can you share the title of video where it's shown? Your instructions are a bit hard to understand.
@@MikaelMahsudjan Same, a link would be nice thanks
Why do you open ports to clients, they shouldn't need to have open ports since they aren't accessed from the internet only the host is or am i misunderstanding?
How do I use my controller though? The streaming is fine from home, but when I'm in my living room trying to play a game with a controller on my macbook the bluetooth banwith doesn't last long from both places in the house. I tried connecting my controller to my macbook but the parsec on my macbook doesn't pick it up for the game I'm playing. Can anyone help on this?
Thanks man
good free alternative moonlight
Its possible for multiple user running in same machine. I mean, i want a rent my cloud gaming to other people 😅
Hi! How do you know that when accessing from a client to a host on the same LAN is actually connecting via lan and not going outside and then coming back?
Good question! Well if the devices are on the same LAN and can see each other (no firewall rules) then by default it will use that route. As for a visual indication, I don’t believe there is one but I could be wrong.
@@RaidOwl maybe disabling upnp and not opening the ports would be a good way to test it.
With no ports open and upnp off there would be no way to access it remote, so yeah that would 100% be LAN or nothing. You could just check the packets as well to see if they’re coming in from your WAN or not.
@@RaidOwl looks like it's time to get the ol' wireshark out. Thanks!
you can cut the data and its still works over lan without internet. tested
Depending on your ISP, you might need VPN just to run parsec
@Raid Owl I have a windows pc running parsec and everything works well and I have setup a smart plug to turn on my pc with ac power recovery. But if I turn on my pc remotly I can't connect to parsec to enter my windows password
Exactly the problem that i was thinking would happen you just confirmed it wow
useful video
Maybe you could resolve some of the cellular issues by connecting ur MacBook to ur phone via cable instead of using a wireless hotspot
Hmmm maybe so...could be an issue with tethering and not necessarily the 5G signal. Although, 5G in my area is kinda sus so I'm led to believe that was the issue lol.
Will this work with Cloudflare Tunnel so you dont have to open a port in the firewall/router?
If you're talking about moonlight, then I've used it with tailscale to avoid port forwarding.
I have a powerful PC and used a relatively new laptop on the same wifi to connect, yet I had noticeable latency and alot of graphical artifacts when streaming even my desktop, let alone a game.
Network bottlenecks.
@@hibernian87 ?
Think you should have gone to a coffee spot or something, the latency over mobile data + wifi to your mac would be pretty massive compared to just coffee wifi
Yeah probably. I’ve personally used it remotely over WiFi and it’s nearly the same as LAN assuming you have a good connection. I was just curious to try it via cellular since I’ve never done that lol.
Your big modern PC doesn't consume near as much power as you think at idle, it actually consumes very little power when it's doing pretty much nothing
Parsec still uses a bit of CPU power, idle wattage goes up to 67 watts on Intel 12700k.
i think chronometer is talking about literally idling. not using parsec or anything. I think he mentioned that because the uploader said, leaving it on doing nothing draws too much power for him. Then again, what is "too much" for someone is "basically nothing" for another
Could I stream to a sheild? If I had one set up in a couple different rooms of the house?
Yep yep
But this only applies if your host PC is turned on, right? Sending a magic package to wake the PC up, that's harder, no?
It’s possible to set up but obviously easier to just leave the PC on.
But isnt it easy to hijack by random hacker? Is it safe for pc?
This is the only one that’s unblocked on my school computer so it what it is 😂
What's a good cloud server for both gaming and media server?
NextCloud ? And then you setup your apps and clients?
Nice man, i have the same setup
Nice! What GPU you have in there?
@@RaidOwl 3070
I have pretty good 5g and was able to have pretty good single player sessions in our airport
Damn that’s impressive. My 5G isn’t the best in my area but I do get really good performance when I’m away with decent WiFi.
@@RaidOwl you know sometimes my 4g is better than 5g, you may want to try it
2 years later, would you use Parsec over Moonlight with Sunshine?
Yep, Parsec is dope
@@RaidOwl Good to know, I really appreciate the reply on this old video.
the only issue is that you have to turn your monitor on all the time to run parsec . that seems bad . especially when i am out from home . and also monitors have lesser lifespan compared to all hardware of pc .
but yeah you can bypass that limitation by crook if you try hard enough
Look up “hdmi dummy plug”
@@RaidOwl ok i will
I use Parsec with a Titan Two allows me remote access to my ps3 🥊🥊💥🙏
The Solution for Keeping Power on 24/7 is Smart Socket which you can control with Wifi / Internet
only power it when needed
After giving it power who will press the cpu button?
The Solution to Turn on without being present at place is WakeUP on Lan
So i think with this your problem can be solved
I'm too broke for a cloud gaming service so I'm resorting to this
You go back home and your power bill is a second mortgage
if you have nvidia, moonlight is the way. :)
I used moonlight years ago and wasn't too impressed but I've heard they've made some solid updates. I have just been quite happy with Parsec so I haven't really had a reason to revisit it. I might try it out this weekend, though!
Parsec is king, you can set up multiple computers on 1 if you have many computers. Also you can play java script games online. Meaning if you find marvel vs Capcom working in a web browser. You can host the game in parsec soda. You're playing marvel vs Capcom, online, in a web browser.
you're running on macbook and your laptop ain't that powerful enough are the same thing. and parsec ain't free
12:57 Did not age that well
😂😂
Best Solution: Don't play games! LMFAO
