Jul 07, 2017 With Steam Link, you can enjoy your PC games on the big screen TV. By now, you may have figured out that with Steam In-Home Streaming, your remote PC is really acting as a kind of remote desktop. How to fix my games on my mac. You can easily find so many live streaming software tools over the Internet, but the sad part is that most of these are not compatible with the Mac platform. If you are a Mac user and are searching for a useful solution to enjoy the live-streaming process, it is good to go ahead with the article below. It contains details about all popular live. Apparently steam and play on mac need to be installed into their default locations, not into any other directories.
I've come across an interesting situation. I recently borrowed a laptop for work purposes, but decided to try out a Windows-specific game that I've always wanted to play - GoldenEye: Source. ;) It works beautifully and I thought about streaming it on Twitch, but the laptop is old'ish and not reliable for streaming.
This brings me to my Mac, which is perfectly capable of streaming without any hiccups. Would there be any way at all to pick up the PC source on OBS for Mac? So far, I've tried:
1) HDMI connection from PC to Minidisplay Port on Mac (no connection there).
2) HDMI connection from PC to Elgato IN with USB connection to Mac (Elgato picks up the screen, but there is no game audio).
3) HDMI connection from PC to Elgato IN with UBS connection to Mac AND HDMI out to TV (once again, no audio pick up).
4) HDMI connection from PC to TV, but I'm then stranded in terms of getting it back to Mac (works great on TV with audio as well).
I know that this might be uncharted territory (or maybe not!). In any case, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated in terms of what the best setup (if any) exists for these two systems to exist and help one another out with the PC being the gaming computer and Mac being the streaming computer.
Thanks in advance!

It’s great to have a powerful PC gaming rig, but what if you want that same, high-fidelity experience on your crappy laptop? Well, with Steam In-Home Streaming, you now can.
Basically, Steam In-Home Streaming enables you to play games on one device while another handles all the computing. Right now, you can use a Windows PC as a home computer to stream to any Mac OS X, Linux, SteamOS, or other Windows device on the same network. Valve claims support for other operating systems is coming. Perhaps we’ll see Android and iOS support in the future?
“Any two computers in a home can be used to stream a gameplay session, and this can enable playing games on systems that would not traditionally be able to run those games,” Valve explains on its site. “For example, a Windows-only game could be streamed from a Windows PC to a Steam Machine running Linux in the living room. A graphically intensive game could be streamed from a beefy gaming rig in the office to your low-powered laptop that you are using in bed. You could even start a game on one computer and move to a more comfortable location and continue playing it there.”
This is an interesting feature, especially considering that Valve plans to release its own hardware soon. Steam Machines will plug directly into a TV, but the capability to stream Steam from your computer to any other device in your house could make the Steam Machine option less attractive to consumers. Of course, you could potentially use a cheaper, less-powerful Steam Machine as a streaming port feeding off of a powerful PC.
