Moonlight for ChromeOS

Moonlight for ChromeOS is an open source client for NVIDIA GameStream and Sunshine.

Moonlight for ChromeOS allows you to stream your full collection of games from your powerful desktop to another PC or laptop running ChromeOS.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for Android and iOS/tvOS.

Check out the Moonlight wiki for more detailed project information, setup guide, or troubleshooting steps.

Deprecation

Moonlight for ChromeOS is a legacy client that depends on the deprecated NaCl runtime. It is receiving only basic bugfixes and little/no feature work.

For ChromeOS systems, we recommend migrating to the Android app for additional features, functionality, and active support. Please reach out in the GitHub tracker if there are any functionality or performance regressions when moving to the Android client on ChromeOS systems.

For Windows, Mac, and Linux clients, we recommend running the native PC port.
