Other options for streaming on Steam!
I've been experimenting with inhome streaming on Steam for some time. My main computer houses my Steam library, while I use an older PC to play games. Sometimes I need to switch between working on my main PC and playing on the stream PC, but when I minimize the game on the main one, the streaming experience changes too. If I reduce the game settings on my primary PC, it mirrors the same effect in the stream PC. Is there a way to run your games in a virtual machine so you can stream them while keeping your PC usable for work? Also, I considered setting up a virtual machine for gaming with background streaming, but my current PC isn’t powerful enough.
It isn't simple to achieve this. A remote desktop feature on a Windows Server supports two users simultaneously, but only within that specific environment.
Running games in a VM on Windows isn't straightforward. Hyper-V offers minimal support for 3D graphics.
I mainly play Dota 2 and TF2, plus some racing and shooters. I’ve also started playing Cities: Skylines—it’s known to be CPU-heavy. I was considering Unraid but wasn’t sure if it’s the right choice for me.
