To install, download and drag the CRX file into the Extensions (Menu -> More Tools -> Extensions) page of Chrome. Uninstall previous versions of Moonlight Chrome before installing this version.

To launch, use Chrome App Launcher, the Extensions page, or just search for Moonlight on your PC and you should see it installed like a normal program.

Reminder: Moonlight Chrome is still in alpha, so it may not perform as well as our other Moonlight clients.

If you are stuck at the "Loading Moonlight" screen for more than a minute or so, you may have to manually enable NaCL in your Chrome settings. Type chrome://flags in the address bar and search for the option called "Native Client", click the Enable link for Native Client, and restart your browser.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift to unbind the mouse and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q to quit streaming.

Features:

  • Hardware accelerated video decoding up to 4K 60 FPS
  • Game controllers (currently limited to those for which Chrome has a built-in mapping, like Xbox and DualShock controllers)
  • Keyboard and mouse input
  • Remote audio support
  • mDNS support
  • Cover art for games

Known issues:

  • Streaming performance is worse than expected on some client hardware
  • Error handling needs work

Changes from Alpha 0.7.3:

  • Tweaked icon to match Android (and iOS soon)
  • UI performance improvements (particularly with multiple PCs)
  • Fixed ability to update existing PC's IP address by adding it again
  • Updated libcurl to support IPv6 connections for multiple PCs behind a single Internet connection (requires https://github.com/moonlight-stream/GS-IPv6-Forwarder running on the hosts)
