The Windows installer package may require an Internet connection to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime if your PC does not already have it installed. If you do not have Internet access during installation, you can pre-install the runtime from Microsoft's website or use the portable version.

To update an existing installation, simply run the latest installer (for Windows) or replace the old app in your Applications folder (for Mac). For the portable Windows version, extract the latest version on top of your old folder.

To install on Steam Link hardware, extract the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 flash drive, insert it into your Steam Link, then restart the Steam Link. Moonlight can run alongside official Steam Link streaming and other Steam Link apps.

New features:

  • System keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Tab, Windows key, Ctrl+Shift+Esc, etc.) can now be (optionally) captured in windowed mode
  • Added support for typing the client's clipboard text on the host by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V
  • Added Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D key combo to minimize the streaming window
  • Added Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C key combo to show the local cursor while streaming in remote desktop mouse mode
  • Added Select+L1+R1+X gamepad button combo to toggle performance overlay
  • Added translations for Simplified Chinese and German
  • Added language toggle in the settings page
  • The official macOS build is now a Universal binary with native Intel and Apple Silicon support
  • System keyboard shortcuts can now be captured under Wayland on Linux
  • Windowed mode streaming is now supported on the Raspberry Pi using MMAL overlays (see Known Issues for limitations of overlays)
  • Added support for rendering with KMSDRM on Linux
  • Added support for LibreELEC's out-of-tree V4L2 DRM-PRIME and v4l2request decoder patches

Bugfixes:

  • Improved performance of loading the app grid
  • Improved reliability of system keyboard shortcut capture on Windows
  • Fixed Xbox Series X controller support on macOS
  • Fixed video scaling in High DPI mode on Wayland
  • Fixed window icons on Wayland
  • Fixed number pad enter key functionality in the UI

Known Issues:

  • Location Services on macOS may cause periodic lag and stuttering on Wi-Fi due to background network scans. To avoid the issue, disable Location Services on your Mac by going to "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Location Services"
  • Remote desktop mouse mode and touchscreen input may behave incorrectly when the host PC has more than one monitor. This bug is on Nvidia's end and will require a GeForce Experience update to fix.
  • Touchscreen support can be buggy on Linux (X11) when mouse capture is enabled. You may need to enable remote desktop mouse mode for it to work correctly.
  • Surface Pro X devices (and possibly other ARM devices) must be upgraded to Windows 10 2004 or later to avoid a video glitch
  • In windowed mode on the Raspberry Pi, video does not move in sync with the window when dragged. This is a limitation of MMAL video overlays.
  • In windowed mode on the Raspberry Pi, video will not display while the app does not have focus. This is required to prevent Moonlight's video overlay from rendering on top of other apps.
