This will take you to the Big Picture menu for easy navigation with a controller. Once you’ve connected to your PC, you can press “Start Playing” in the Steam Link app’s main menu. From there, the Steam Link app will provide a four-digit pin that you’ll need to enter in Steam on your PC. Then, in the app, you can scan for computers running Steam on the network. To finish the connection with your phone, you’ll need to run Steam on your computer. But, the slower connection may limit performance and increase your controller’s input lag. In our testing, we were able to connect through the Steam Link app even if our computer was on a 5GHz connection while the phone was on a 2.4GHz connection.

Valve recommends connecting via a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection for the best streaming experience, and if your PC is able to connect to the network via Ethernet, that will be your best option. To begin the connection with your PC, ensure both your smartphone and PC are connected to the same network.
