Adjust image quality and compression on supporting servers and choose a monitor when the server supplies its layout. • Sunshine: stream a desktop or configured app from a separately installed Sunshine host. Use a compatible controller or the on-screen gamepad. Choose HEVC or H.264 and adjust stream size, frame rate, bitrate and stereo audio quality. Optional HDR needs a compatible host, decoder and display. CONTROLS THAT FIT Click, drag, scroll and type.

YOUR CONNECTION, YOUR SETUP No Farroom account, relay or Farroom helper app. Your computer needs a supported remote-access server and a reachable address. Away from home, you can use a separately installed private-network app such as Tailscale. Farroom does not provide a VPN. KNOW YOUR CONNECTION Quality, frame rate, HDR, sound and available controls depend on the host, network and viewing device. Sunshine display selection is managed on the host; it has no clipboard or file transfer. Controller rumble depends on controller and host support. Unicode text input depends on the host; a US keyboard compatibility mode is available. VNC has no audio and supports Latin-1 text clipboard only. RDP images and files need host clipboard support; Windows Home cannot host built-in RDP. Linux support depends on its desktop and server. Microphone forwarding and session recording are unavailable. Mobile systems may suspend background sessions. Saved passwords stay in device Keychain. Optional iCloud setup sync excludes passwords, certificate approvals, desktop images, audio and clipboard contents. SUBSCRIPTIONS Monthly and yearly Pro renew automatically unless canceled.
