Steam has long been the benchmark platform for PC games, and one of the reasons for that is the addition of offer times and its extensive books- a huge variety of capabilities that enable users to use them. For this reason, in this tutorial we will assume that you have a PC, that you have Steam, and that you obviously have one games in your library be able to play them on Smart TV (and be careful because not all are compatible).
First steps: Play away and prepare remotely
The first step is to open Steam on PC and check that you have Remote Play running. To do this, just go to Steam -> Parameters and in the Remote Play tab, make sure it works.
Here you don't have to touch anything else, or it is recommended to set it to the bottom area where it sets "Client Settings" to "Best", which is of very good quality. It is recommended, by the way, that both PC and Smart TV are connected to a home network via cable better communication.
Now remote connectivity has many options, but logically Smart TV must be compatible with it. If the TV has Bluetooth, you must remotely move it, and if it does not, connect it to the cable.
How to play Steam games on Smart TV
Let's look at the different options available.
If Smart TV supports Steam Link
If you have a modern Smart TV (or a modern Samsung that does not exist) you have a traditional Steam Link application. You just have to install it and start it on TV, and it will automatically search your home network via a PC using Steam (which you will need to have PC on and Steam on, in addition to enabling remote playback).
When you search for and find Steam teams on the net, you'll only ask for a number to be guaranteed to link both teams, and you're ready to start playing your Steam games directly on TV.
If you have an Android TV
If you have a small PC with Android TV, or a simple Chromecast, and you have a Steam Link app available and running in the same way, but in this case you have to sync or connect remotely to Google TV instead of directly to Smart TV. .
If you have an Apple TV or iPhone
Both Apple TV and iPhone also have a traditional Steam Link application, which will allow us to perform the same process as in the previous cases.
In this case – which is also the way with Android smartphones – we can do it even without a command, playing Steam compatible games directly from the touch screen.
