Parsec
Access a computer remotely in low latency to game, work, and play together from anywhere.
What is Parsec?
Parsec lets you join and control a computer remotely in low latency, 60 FPS and HD, as if you were in front of that computer. • Play with friends any split-screen, local multiplayer games • Pass the controller to a friend in single-player games, or let them watch you • Use your computer remotely with a keyboard and mouse, or let a friend take control and help you with something • Watch videos and listen to music together • Use it for work, CAD, graphics, video editing and more (check 'Parsec for Teams') • Find strangers to play games with in the Arcade tab (in beta, not yet stable)
Parsec has three 'tiers': • Free (https://parsec.app/features/): Everything you need to bring a friend to play with you, access your own PC remotely to play or do anything non-commercial in low latency, 60FPS and HD • Warp (https://parsec.app/warp/): For individuals that want to go a step above just gaming and support Parsec while at it. Get improved 4:4:4 colors, multiple monitors, tablet support and virtual displays • Teams (https://parsec.app/teams/): For teams that want everything from Warp for the whole team, advanced tools & permissions for managing who accesses machines, VIP & escalated support, SAML SSO and more

Best game streaming solution out there. Lowest latency, highest frame rates, and up to 4K!
The performances are good. Easy to use out of the box. Insufficient sound options such as sound source selection. Still some bugs with the sound. Compatible with gamepad.
Can only host using a windows computer.
This is no longer true. MacOS hosting is available and works great!

I have found Parsec to be an incredible solution for streaming work and gaming with very low latency and great quality. I also use it to help friends troubleshoot issues with their computers remotely in addition to playing local multiplayer games with them online.
Brilliant. This "just works" in the truest sense. Compared to Moonlight, which always has and will be broken because the dev is an arrogant moron who spends more time arguing with users than fixing problems, this is like something handed down by god. Best performance, easiest setup, most reliable. Use Parsec and ignore ML & SL.
It's ok if you want personal PC stuff done but anything like gaming requires the use of bluetooth or USBOMW compatible phone. App has not been updated so it's only ever useful for PC to PC.
That's not true at all. You literally just require -a- network connection to use Parsec. The app is updated frequently, too.

Best software to play with friends during lockdown :)
