Through all of this I did learn when you check beta option in Steam link in GFN after restart beta update is enabled, but if you exit it's like you never did it, but that is not the same when using the steam link in play store i would use it that way but it lags to much cause its using my PC to stream the game. I have used dongle, that's a no go, I have used USB cord also same result, then I said for sh8ts and giggles let me DL the Stem Link App in the Play Store to see if it can detect the controller and it does detect the controller connected through BT, but not in Steam Link in GFN, and just to show how much I tried i even rolled back the firmware and tried with the USB cord & then with dongle but of coarse not with BT because I just rolled back and disabled it, also made sure my steam client app was updated, made sure I had beta participation ticked, made sure Big picture mode was enabled even did a restart of steam link in GFN to check, then a complete power shut down of shield and checked but nope. yes I have Updated to enable BT and have paired with Shield, it's not detected, You say "I have done this" then immediately revealed that you have not, in fact, done this. PAINT ANY GAMEPAD CONTROLLER NES,PC,SNES,NINTENDO,COLECO,NINTENDO-64, PS1,2,3.So I Have Done this but in Steam Link App with dongle connected to usb port on shield the SC is not detected, Do you have any workaround, can you help pls! Why are you using the dongle? Just pair using bluetooth. Seize the Lightning! Carpe Fulgur Imports Japanese Indie Games to the U.S.

Step 1: Get on the Steam Beta on Your PC or Macįirst, you'll have to get on the Steam Beta on your computer.
And while the Steam Beta is pretty stable in my experience, it is just that -a beta.
Don't worry though, I'm going to outline exactly how you opt in to this beta, and how to use the greatest controller of all time on your Android phone.įor now, the Steam Link app is Android-only, but Valve says that its iOS counterpart is right around the corner. But there's a catch: only Steam Beta users have access to it right now.
To do this, you need to download and install a firmware update that Valve pushed on May 16. You see, the Steam Controller can't actually connect to devices via Bluetooth in its current state. You'll probably also want to connect your favorite controller to your phone, but you may run into some issues if you prefer Valve's own Steam Controller. On May 17 2018, Valve released the Android beta version of their Steam Link app, which allows you to stream Steam games from your computer directly to your phone.
