This app streams games, programs, or your full desktop from an NVIDIA GameStream-compatible PC on your local network or the Internet using NVIDIA GeForce Experience or NVIDIA Quadro Experience.
Host PC Requirements:

To have a good experience, you need a mid to high-end wireless router with a good wireless connection to your client PC (5 GHz highly recommended) and a good connection from your host PC to your router (Ethernet highly recommended).

- (2025-03-17) wt f: literally nothing on this app works no matter what i do, every single button or option I click is unresponsive and I cant even add a new host because clicking add new host does absolutely nothing.
- (2025-03-05) Matteo (Laty): Everything works but video. Mouse, keyboard and sound, all fine. But video is stuck on a black screen when connecting to a sunshine server. That same server works fine with moonlight for windows. Running ChromeOS 133.0.6943.132 on a Lenovo Thinkpad C13 (ryzen 5 3500C, 16gb ram, integrated vega 8)
- (2024-12-03) A S: Works great on android.. Significant lag with the chromeOS version. The Android version can't be Fullscreen, so my intended purpose for my Chromebook is yet to be fulfilled.
- (2022-10-12) Neil Costen: If you want to stream your desktop to a chromebook and have proper mouse control then get this. IT. IS. AWESOME!
- (2022-06-30) Hexiang Geng: A good app but using it under tablet mode will block the system gesture and there is no way exiting it other than reboot. Compared to the clients for other platforms, options are also too limited.
- (2021-10-18) Andres Flores: great
- (2021-10-12) Steve Nantel: Tried few apps, like Parsec TV that work really well on Windows but not on ChromeOS. So I'm back with Moonlight, I was surprise it is working fine with my Pixel book. Streaming at 1080 60fps 20 Mbps. (There is little lag with mouse, but looks like a common issue with Android) It is, for sure, not like in front of a real PC, but when you are traveling and have the luxury of playing your game remotely from your home computer, you don't really care about the little lag.
- (2020-04-13) Bret Kuhns: Tried both Steam for Linux and the Steam Link app for Android on my Pixelbook Chromebook and neither were playable. Stumbled upon Moonlight and it's running great! A few hiccups in framerate, but keyboard/mouse input are perfect, latency is acceptable, and quality is good enough even for the small detailed UI of games like Cities: Skylines.
- (2019-12-06) John Clown: If the mouse is not working, switch to the beta channel in settings. Google has released an update fixing the issue, but it hasn't been pushed to secure users yet.
- (2019-11-21) plains: mouse doesn't move when i use everything else is fine I can use my keyboard and click but mouse will not move?
- (2019-07-16) Sean Burke: works amazingly well so far
- (2019-06-22) Caleb Caraway: This extension currently works better for me than Steam Link, especially when I need to use a controller. The only suggestion I would make is the ability to create custom controller mappings, especially since Chrome OS is so limited on what it recognizes on input.
- (2019-06-17) Jus Me: It wasn't clear before I installed it that you need Nvidia on the host computer (from what I can tell) and have Nvidia streaming turned on. You are then limited to the games that Nvidia has detected and Steam (as long as Nvidia detected Steam as a game). So to add a non known Nvidia game, I had to add a non standard game to Steam, get Nvidia to detect Steam as a game and then I could through this roundabout method launch what I wanted to play. Anyways still 100% worth the effort.
- (2019-04-19) Aaron Herbst: Love it on other platforms. This doesn't work for me at all. Connected to host successfully. Trying to launch any game just flashes the screen and doesn't do anything on the remote machine.
- (2019-02-22) Greg York (Lavender Crush): A MUST-HAVE Chrome OS app! Some apps have a weird flicker effect that makes them unplayable. Still, this solves the major problem I've had gaming on my Chromebook! I love my Flip because it's so small. I also love PC gaming, but I don't want a big, ugly laptop that with a 2-hour battery. This app is amazing!
- (2018-12-07) Mike J: I loved my meager Chromebook before this app - but game options were horrible. I love my gaming laptop but it's heavy. This turned a $130 Chromebook into a portable gaming laptop. My chromebook is 720p, only wifi. If I stream @ 720p - 60fps - 10mbps it stutters. If I set it to 5mbps it's smooth (and there's a little bit of artifacting but I'm on a 10oz laptop on the couch, I don't care). Good stuff.
- (2018-08-22) Menno van Leeuwen: Works just brilliantly, played No Man's Sky over 4G in rural Thailand to my PC in the Netherlands with only slight delay still very playable!! 10/10!!
- (2018-08-06) Gupps: I'm so happy this came to the app store as it was having a lot of issues with chromebooks before
