Thanks to those of you who tested the new Invite Anyone capability within Remote Play Together. After weeks in beta, the feature has shipped to all Steam users.

For more information, visit Steam News.

Now in Beta, you can Remote Play Together with anyone – no Steam account needed to join your game with the click of a link.

UPDATES:

• 3/2: Steam Link for Linux now available - Invite anyone on Linux to join you
  
• 3/1: Invite as many friends as your game and internet connection will support!

To try the new functionality, opt into the Steam Client Beta. Once updated, you'll find a COPY LINK button in your Friends list whenever you play one of the thousands of games with support for Steam Remote Play Together.

To quickly access your own games with support for Remote Play Together, click the advanced filtering options icon in your Library, then select Remote Play Together under Features. You can even hit Save to create a Dynamic Collection.


When you're ready to play, launch your game, then grab an invite link from your Friends list in the Steam Overlay. Send the link to your friend on Windows, iOS, Android, or Raspberry Pi (and other platforms coming soon), and they can click your invite to join in the fun.


We hope you'll give the new Invite Anyone feature a try. For more information and to share your feedback, join us in the discussions.

Known issues:

• Entering PIN authorization code is not supported and the stream won't start
  
• Other errors starting streaming are not reported, check computer to make sure it's not locked and Steam doesn't have a driver installation dialog up
  
• Rumble on Xbox controllers causes a lag spike

Please make sure you have installed the build dated 7/24/2017 or newer in the app store and respond here if you're running into any issues.

Cheers!

The latest Steam beta client (dated July 26 or newer) adds streaming microphone support on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Once you install the beta update you may need to reboot your computer to activate driver installation.

Then, when you start streaming for the first time you'll be prompted to install streaming audio drivers on the remote computer.

When streaming starts, Steam will switch the default audio devices over to new virtual audio devices that are used for streaming audio, and restore them once streaming is complete.

If you want to avoid this completely, just start Steam on the remote computer with the -skipstreamingdrivers command line option.

Enjoy!
