Steam in-house remote play (link) (feddit.ch)

Hi all, I've been thinking about setting things up so I can play Steam games on my TV but I'm a little confused on the setup. So here's what I was planning:

main laptop in office will stream the game
TV in living room connected to Nvida shield
Nvidia shield runs Steam Link to connect to laptop
Controllers connect to Nvidia shield??

I think the main thing that confuses me is if I can connect my controllers to the Nvidia shield or do they need to connect to the laptop?

Anyone have a similar setup that works?

Yeah, I'll second this.

I had loads of issues trying to get my controllers working with the Steam Link app, but with Moonlight and Sunshine they worked straight away.

Just be aware that whichever way you do it, your laptop will need to be unlocked, and the game plays on it as if you were sat in front of it, including the sound coming through the speakers. There may be a way to mute the laptop speakers, but I'm not near my computer to check.

I think there's an option to enable/disable sound on the host computer somewhere in the streaming settings.
