MOONLIGHTWEB
Why MoonlightWeb
Game streaming built for the browser
Parsec, Steam Remote Play and Moonlight are all good ways to play your PC from somewhere else. MoonlightWeb takes its own path: it is designed for the web browser, and only for it — on every device you play from, the client is a web page.
What MoonlightWeb brings
- 100% web, and tuned for it. Every part of the client is built on what browsers do best, and optimised there: WebRTC transport with adaptive congestion control, hardware decoding through WebCodecs, rendering and upscaling in WebGL2 or WebGPU, Opus audio through WebRTC. Under 20 ms over Wi-Fi at home.
- Nothing to install where you play. No app, no plugin, no update to wait for: open a URL and play. Handy on a borrowed laptop, a Chromebook, an iPad or a TV.
- The same page on every device. Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, iPhone, iPad, TV browsers — one client, one look, one set of settings.
- Self-hosted and open source. GPL-3.0, no account, no subscription. The stream is a direct, peer-to-peer connection between your browser and your PC.
- Its own capture and encoding engine. Installed on the gaming PC, it is a host straight away — and it also pairs with Sunshine, Apollo, Wolf and MultiSeat hosts.
- Up to four players. Invite three friends into the game already running on your PC, each from their own device and browser, with their own controller.
Good to know
- The gaming PC runs the MoonlightWeb server: Windows 10 or 11, macOS on Apple Silicon, or Linux, with a GPU that can encode video.
- The codecs on offer depend on the device and browser you play from: H264 works everywhere, HEVC and AV1 wherever they are decoded in hardware.
