The best, save time and just grab it, install sunshine and start game streaming. It beats Parsec, NVIDIA, any other ones.

I'm new to PC gaming, but I love that I can get a sesh in where I am if I have some downtime. This also works better as remote desktop software than almost all the actual remote desktop software I've tried

It gives me an error code every time I try to use this for my Steam Deck and connect it to my LG TV. I try to find my IP address, and it never works; plus, any time I do it, I just get another error code and nothing pulls up as it should. It is a massive pain and a huge time-waster that I regret, because I was really looking forward to playing games on my Steam Deck connected to my TV. But because of the lack of implementation, I have to give this 1 star after asking Google AI on how to do it all

21:9 PC to 16:9 android no longer works. It used to work just fine but now that I've updated there's a giant black bar around the whole android screen. Nothing I've tried fixes it. I've been looking for hours at suggested fixes.

can't even install it on pc, once it does the download then I can't click to agree to anything so the program doesn't load up anything without making me agree first but it doesn't let me

Description by Cameron Gutman Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
This app streams games, programs, or your full desktop from a PC on your local network or the Internet running NVIDIA GeForce Experience (NVIDIA-only) or Sunshine (all GPUs). Mouse, keyboard, and controller input is sent from your Android device to your PC.
Streaming performance may vary based on your client device and network setup. HDR requires an HDR10-capable device, a GPU that can encode HEVC Main 10, and HDR10-enabled game. Games that use DXGI/OS HDR also require an HDR display connected to your host PC.
Features
• Open-source and completely free (no ads, IAPs, or "Pro")
• Streams games purchased from any store
• Works on your home network or over the Internet/LTE
• Up to 4K 120 FPS HDR streaming with 7.1 surround sound
• H.264, HEVC, and AV1 codec support (AV1 requires Sunshine and a supported host GPU)
• Keyboard and mouse support (best with Android 8.0 or later)
• Stylus/S-Pen support
• Supports PS3/4/5, Xbox 360/One/Series, and Android gamepads
• Force feedback and gamepad motion sensor support (Android 12 or later)
• Local co-op with up to 16 connected controllers (4 with GeForce Experience)
• Mouse control via gamepad by long-pressing Start
Quick Setup Host Instructions for GeForce Experience (NVIDIA-only)
• Make sure GeForce Experience is open on your PC. Turn on GameStream in the SHIELD settings page.
• Tap on the PC in Moonlight and type the PIN on your PC
• Start streaming!
Quick Setup Host Instructions for Sunshine (all GPUs)
• Install Sunshine on your PC from https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases

• Tap on the PC in Moonlight and type the PIN in the Sunshine Web UI on your PC
