Read full description

Stream Frame brings video from your Steam Frame to your iPhone or iPad over your local network. Connect with frame.local, another DNS hostname, or an IPv4 address. No Mac relay or Stream Frame account is required. WATCH AND CAPTURE - Watch live headset video in the app, full screen, or Picture in Picture. - Control streaming and captures with Home Screen quick actions, Siri, and Shortcuts. - Save MP4 recordings and PNG screenshots. - Record game audio and the headset microphone, select sources, and adjust their mix. Audio recording defaults off for better performance; saved preferences are preserved. - Choose native, 720p, or 480p video at 15, 20, or 30 fps. - Adjust encoder speed and CRF quality in Video settings. - Preview, share, and export captures from the Captures library. RECORD ON YOUR HEADSET Headset recording is on by default. Save the original MP4 on Steam Frame before it crosses the network, then download it securely with verification. Packet loss in the live preview does not affect the original. Captures lets you retrieve missed recordings and delete headset originals after confirmation. Originals remain until deleted. Turn Record on headset off to record the received stream instead. RECORD WITHOUT A PREVIEW Enable Recording only before connecting, tap Connect, then Record. The headset writes an MP4 without sending preview video or audio. Stop to download it securely. This saved option is off by default. Audio and video settings apply; screenshots require normal streaming mode. EXPERIMENTAL RTMP STREAMING Expand the collapsed Experimental RTMP streaming group and explicitly enable publishing to send video directly from your headset to an RTMP or RTMPS destination you choose. Enter the full URL and stream key for each session; keys are not saved. Keep the app open or Picture in Picture active. Publishing requires normal streaming mode. Use RTMPS when your provider supports it. INSTALL ON YOUR HEADSET Install App on Steam Frame adds the signed Stream Frame Flatpak repository and installs the Linux app on your headset over verified SSH, or confirms it is already installed. A dialog confirms success or explains failure. Open the Linux app from the headset KDE Launcher to record locally; Discover handles updates. Installation requires internet access on the headset. No app code is downloaded or installed on iOS by this feature. LOCAL BY DEFAULT No ads, tracking, analytics SDK, or Boxtree cloud storage. Captures remain on your devices unless you share, export, or explicitly publish through RTMP. Optional saved SSH passwords are saved in the device-only Keychain. Verify the headset SSH fingerprint before connecting. TRY A SAMPLE Settings > Try sample stream provides a clearly labeled, bundled video-only demo of playback, recording, screenshots, and Captures. No headset is needed. REQUIREMENTS A Steam Frame with Developer Mode and SSH enabled, an SSH password, ffmpeg and ffprobe with libx264, and access to /dev/video99. Audio requires PulseAudio input and AAC encoding. Keep both devices on the same trusted local network and allow Local Network access. Live preview is silent. Audio, when enabled, is included in recordings and RTMP publishing; the default source mix is 35% game / 65% mic. SSH encrypts control and recording downloads. Live preview uses unencrypted UDP on your local network. RTMPS encrypts publishing; RTMP does not. Picture in Picture keeps the live stream connected while you use other apps. No phone microphone access is needed. Stream Frame is an independent utility by Boxtree, Inc., not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve. Steam and Steam Frame are trademarks of Valve Corporation.
