Parsec Game Streaming - play any local co-op games online

From what I heard about the service, the latency isn't low. Maybe they improved since then, but I understood there is a noticeable lag so unless you're quite experienced or don't mind, it's probably best for games where reaction time isn't a huge issue.

Oooooh! Anyone tested it yet? How similar is it to NVIDIA Share Play? (not to be confused with shadow play!)

I´d love to finally play Slaps & Beans online, sadly the game is missing a true fullscreen mode which is one of SharePlay´s requirements :E

nice, i can play with 300ms ping <3

I've been using it for months (they introduced some update today, haven't tested if they've changed anything yet), but as long as both you and everyone joining has decent internet (or rather, seems like it's more important for the host. I had a friend with pretty bad internet join with no latency), it works great. In order to host, you have to have Windows 8 or higher, so I've been the one hosting. I was able to play Cuphead with my boyfriend that lives far away, host 3 people for Overcooked, host Human Fall Flat (before multiplayer got introduced), Octodad, and Resident Evil Revelations 2. Probably missing some other local co-op games, but the point is, everything I've tried so far has run really well.

The setup takes a little while if you're going to be using a voice chat service like Discord/Skype, since your friends are going to be hearing an annoying sound echo unless you split your audio using a VB-Audio Cable. Parsec has a tutorial on how to get it setup on their site now (it wasn't there when I first got Parsec, so it involved a lot of trial and error on my part).

The only issues I've ever experienced, which I don't know the root cause of, is that sometimes when my boyfriend would join, his Xbox controller would control Player 1 and 2 at the same time, overriding mine. I don't know if it's because I use a PS4 controller, but playing around in Steam settings and DS4, I was never able to successfully eliminate or trigger it. The only solution I have to this is if it happens (which is only occasionally), is to close the game and re-open (and have them leave Parsec and rejoin). After 2-3 times, the problem just resolves itself.

I've been using for about year or so to stream my pc to living room in local network. Stream is significantly better than with Steam Link/Steam In-Home-Streaming (less latency and better IQ). I've got very old AMD CPU that seems to cause issues when streaming some newer games via Steam, but with Parsec, these same games stream without issues.

Although with Parsec, It seems that if my host PC does not have screen turned on, then the game lags or does not even show picture at times. Leaving host pc's screen on instantly remedies this. I also haven't been able to get rumble working on it (with XO-controllers) yet - not sure if it's actually supported.

I don't have experience on using it for online streaming, but considering it's free to use and quite easy to setup, I'd suggest trying it.
