Valve offers a wide range of In-Home Streaming services for gamers

Recently, Valve has officially launched the streaming game In-Home Streaming for all users, instead of limited to closed beta program as before.

In-Home Streaming is a service that allows you to stream games between two computers in the same network. Both computers must be installed Steam as well as login Steam account on it. After logging in, your 2 computers will connect to each other, thereby helping you install, run, and play games installed on one machine on the other. Details of this technology can be found in this article.

With its features, In-Home Streaming is the ideal choice to stream games from a highly configurable PC to a laptop, or a HTPC (home theater PC) connected to the TV screen. The service can also stream Windows games on computers running Linux, MacOS, and even SteamOS. Therefore, this will be an important card for Valve in developing Steam Machine, a line of gaming computers using the Linux kernel.

With this service, Valve wants to make sure that Steam Machine users can still play their favorite Windows games.
