Steam Link is a powerful tool that makes it easier to enjoy your PC games on a big screen.

3. Set up game capture

To play non-Steam games on your TV, you’ll need to set up game capture in Steam. First, launch Steam on your PC and open the Settings menu. Then, go to the In-Home Streaming tab and check the box next to “Enable streaming of desktop and non-Steam games.” After that, select “Add a game” and choose the non-Steam game you want to stream.

4. Start streaming

With everything set up, you can now start streaming your desktop and non-Steam games to your TV. To do this, simply select the non-Steam game you want to play in Steam and click the “Stream” button. The game should show up on your TV, and you can start playing with your controller or keyboard and mouse.
