Everything, in order.

From a fresh installer to a session you can feel good about. Start at the top if it’s your first time; the how-tos stand alone.

Getting started

  1. 01 Set up the Windows host Install the streaming host on the Windows machine you want to reach — about five minutes, no reboot.
  2. 02 Set up the macOS host Stream a Mac from the menu bar — ScreenCaptureKit capture into hardware encode, with the same wire and the same guarantees.
  3. 03 Pair a client A 6-digit PIN, approved once on the host. After that, your devices recognise each other on any network.

How-to

  1. 01 The host admin panel A tour of every page in the host UI — what each setting does, which ones the client can override, and which ones you should leave alone.
  2. 02 Add a connection password The borrowed-laptop defense: even a paired device has to prove the right person is holding it.
  3. 03 Use multiple displays Stream one monitor, switch mid-session, or ride the extended canvas — every screen as one spanning image.
  4. 04 Curtain mode Blank the host’s monitors while you work remotely, so the room sees a dark screen and you see everything.
  5. 05 Which versions work together Hosts and clients on the same line connect and pair, whatever their exact numbers. What a line is, what a break looks like, and when you can leave a machine alone.
  6. 06 Troubleshooting Find your symptom, get the cause. Organised by what you are actually seeing rather than by which component is at fault.
  7. 07 Tips and tricks Shortcuts, diagnostics, and the handful of behaviours that surprise people — collected from actually running this thing.

Self-hosting

  1. 01 Self-host the rendezvous One small container on any always-on box: deploy it, tell it where it can be reached, then enrol your host with its bundle.
