What it does
Sunshine is host software for streaming a personal computer to Moonlight clients. It supports hardware and software encoding and browser-based configuration.
Check the feature table for your host operating system before planning a controller or encoder setup. Sunshine separates GPU encoding, screen capture and gamepad emulation, each with different support. That makes the compatibility table more useful than a general promise of streaming to any device.
Use the browser interface for configuration and client pairing; gameplay is received by a Moonlight client.
