Play video games on your TV from another room using streaming services.
Sure! You can set up a local streaming setup using your PC and a big screen TV. Use a gaming console or router to send the stream from your PC to the other room. For controllers, look for affordable options online. This way you can enjoy games together without spending too much.
HDMI cable or similar, but not analog—using wireless could be risky because gaming requires fast response times. Edit: your TV may support screen sharing, so it’s worth checking. Most current TVs include these features.
I can't rely on an HDMI cable; I have to go through two doors to reach it. Since there are only concrete walls here, not in the US, the issue is figuring out how to connect the controllers to the PC and their range.
Consider relocating the PC for better performance. Since you're not in the US and have physical walls, wireless won't work well. Streaming over the internet would cause too much lag for smooth gameplay. You really have limited choices—either move the PC or invest in costly long cables.
The router is positioned close to the television, with cables extending to the computer, allowing a direct connection without relying on Wi-Fi.
So it functions now. The main issue remains with the controllers, and I’m not sure what to do about that.
The Steam Link functions effectively for me and it doesn't cost much.
