Thank very much for your dedication in this video tutorial! Not only it is very easy to follow but you also explain what is going on instead of just telling to do something. It was a great set of information for local stream the on Steam Deck, but also gave me so much more ideas for other aplications of some services. Thank you!!
Hey @@AndrewSamos ! You’re welcome, exactly why I made this video. I had to search all over the place to do this for myself and the instructions weren’t always correct either which was frustrating. Hopefully others can benefit from my pain 😅
Great vid which first time I did this took a lot of searching around to find out how to get done right, especially with the virtual driver. Saved me from having to track down a lot of stuff again since refomatting my PC lol.
Hey @@TimI1S ! You’re welcome, yes I had to search around a lot myself and test various configs and settings. The whole reason I made this video was to try collate that in a single place. Who knows I might need it if I start another PC from scratch 😅
I know you said it is local stream only, but is it possible to use this same setup for remote streamming? I reckon it would impact the quality of the stream, but can it be done?
Hey man, great guide! I just had one comment. After streaming is done, why wouldn't you switch your primary display to your monitor only without extending to the virtual display driver? In this way you won't have chrome browsers in your 'extended' virtual monitor and you can use your PC normal. Just a thought. In that case what would the displayswitch.exe config.undo command be? Would that be /primary? Also, is there a way to put PC to sleep automatically after streaming?
Hey @@beezze ! Thank you 🙏🏻 glad the guide was helpful. To answer your questions: I read about the undo command "displayswitch.exe /internal". At first it was a good idea to set this rule, but it has some problems: this routes the video to the physical display effectively, but it "disconnects" the virtual display, so Sunshine (that we forced to work on a specific output) won't find the right output device and it will refuse to work next time you try. Actually for a similar result to getting your PC to Sleep you can use "shutdown/h" which is a sleep command, not a shutdown. With shutdown/h your PC goes into hibernate mode, which is a standby state that use the hard drive to save your session instead of RAM. It requires a little more time to suspend and recover but it's still a standby. For some reason there isn't a super easy equivalent command for the normal standby but on Google but there are many workarounds. But if you are ok with an hibernate standby just use shutdown/h, you should also benefit from a less battery consumption in standby :) I have seen others use hibernate like this for various reasons but I personally didn’t want to do it that way.
@@LovingTechLife Hey thanks for looking this up. Very clear! Strange that there is no command for regular sleep/standby. Then i'm wondering can moonlight "wake PC" from hibernate?
@@LovingTechLife Hi, great tutorial. I looked further into the display switch because I hate having an unaccessible extended screen where my mouse and some windows get lost and stretching a window off my screen made this a no-go for me. Turns out if you do not specify the output display in the audio/video section of Sunshine's Configuration, it will output to the active display and you can use displayswitch /external then go back to /internal instead of /extend without a problem. Set the virtual display's desired resolution and settings in the moonlight client.
This is such an amazing guide. Thank you for this. One quick note: I run a dual monitor display (ultrawide main, portrait 16:9 second monitor) - when running moonlight on Steam Deck I think the configuration gets a bit muddled, because instead of accessing the Virtual Display, it ends up broadcasting on the second portrait monitor. To fix this, I had to unplug the second monitor and then it seemed to work properly. Not sure if others with multi-monitor setups have encountered a similar issue and found a fix?
Hey @@TheOnlyMoose ! You’re welcome, appreciate the feedback and glad it was helpful. I have actually updated the description under the video try to include additional instructions for multiple monitor setups. These were provided by a member of the community that watched this video and wanted to help others in your situation. I have not tested these myself because I’m just using a single monitor these days. Here’s a link - ✅ Additional instructions if you have Multiple Monitors! - bit.ly/3COB1M2
I did just finish the video ! Great info i never found good info on what resolution to use but this is awesome, i did try stream using deck’s resolution and it looked bad when i came from 4k. The only game i had problems with is the new silent hill 2 I have to keep a controller plugged into my desktop to make it work
What a fantastic guide. Easy to follow, complete, and concise. Only thing I would clarify is to change the resolution of the virtual display IN MOONLIGHT instead of before hand. Doing it before doesn’t work, and Playnite launches in 640x480. Otherwise perfect! Thank you!
Hey @@erosioncontrol85 ! Really appreciate the feedback thank you 🙏🏻 Glad the guide was helpful and that’s a good call out. I wasn’t sure if that was just a glitch I experienced or if it was that way with everyone. 👍🏻👊🏻
Can you explain this in more detail please? I don't quite understand. I think this is why i'm not getting a signal on my deck whenever I connect after setting everything.. :(
@@PlagasX So in the video, after installing the virtual display, LovingTechLife shows us to change the resolution of the virtual display in the windows display settings. But instead you need to change the resolution of the virtual display by launching “Desktop” app on moonlight, then navigate to the display settings and set your desired resolution. Also I think it’s important to change the resolution before launching a game.
Thanks for your guide, after some hiccups its now working as intended. But im Running into the issue that my host (PC) recognizes my SD as an XBOX controller and not as a SD or steam controller, so i cant configure the trackpads especially the pushdown of the trackpads. do you know how to solve this issue?
Going to try this with a steam deck hdmi 2.1 dock & see if i can hit 4k 120hz hdr (or close too). Running a 7900x3d, 4090 & have wifi 6 mesh so hardware should be capable?
Okay so its working! Deck is connected at 4k 120 hdr, getting this with games in menu's but once i get into game they seem to be locking at 60 .... more tweaking/investigating needed. Using the JSAUX RGB Docking Station with hdmi 2.1 for the record.
So what happens if for whatever reason my host computer hard crashes when I've made the virtual display the primary display? Wouldn't that make it so sunshine doesnt output the command to swap primary display? How would I fix a problem like that? Thanks! Really well done guide man.
Hey @@nibskhiie thanks for the feedback! Yes if it crashes and moonlight is not exited properly then the command to switch back to the primary display does not get issued. To fix it just switch on your PC and connect with the steam deck again via moonlight and exit it properly and carry on as normal. Hope this makes sense.
@@LovingTechLife This solution works, but it's so risky. What happens if Sunshine doesn't automatically boot after a crash? Or if your local network goes out? If Sunshine can't get the command to swap over the display, how do you recover from that without bricking your PC?
Hi LTL, really interesting to do ..I have been running Nvidia game stream perfectly for past year and was so stable.then yesterday they pulled the app and Installed sunshine but it's so unstable. I will give this a try and see if it stabilizes but wondered how how well does this work when you hook it up to the TV in docked mode? Will it auto adjust to 4k screen? I was doing that fine with deck buddy on Nvidia, but it just kept disconnecting me on sunshine
Hey @@timewarp78 ! I have only used it handheld when streaming so far and it’s been stable. I did plan on experimenting with it in docked mode in the future though!
I can't set my virtual monitor to 2560x1600 at 90hz. I can set it to 60hz and it's fine, but when i switch to 90hz it reverts back to 1920x1080 at (whatever refresh rate i chose above 60hz). Any idea what's going on with this?
I've followed the VDD instructions through multiple times but cannot get the virtual display to show up in my display settings, even after a pc restart. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
This video is great! Everything worked for me. When I launch playnite from moonlight, the playnite app itself is blurry and isn't fitting the whole screen. Any ideas why? Launching a game from playnite works and looks great. Just the playnite UI doesn't seem right.
Someone else picked up on this. Update the resolution while on the desktop streaming in moonlight. For some reason the res defaults to a very low resolution for some people when they first start streaming playnite making it blurry instead of 2560 x 1600 or whatever you have set as your res before starting streaming.
I have 2 physical monitors. Really love the idea of this video, but when I tried to follow the instructions, everything seemed to work fine except that Playnite opens in fullscreen mode on my second monitor instead of the virtual monitor being streamed to my Steam Deck. Any idea for a fix?
@@YESIMBLAQK Hey, I'm in the same situation as you. When you say turn off the second monitor you mean going in to display settings and using "Disconnect this display" right? i did that and it's still showing the game on the 2nd display and nothing on the steam deck..only audio.. :(
@@LovingTechLife No sir. Even desktop is not visible. In my brief search, it may be an issue if you have integrated graphics enabled within the BIOS? Not sure, but I've used Sunshine and Moonlight before without issue, so there's some kind of conflict with this virtual display driver and my setup, possibly.

Hey @ ! You’re welcome 👍🏻 Thanks for adding that extra info to the comments for others to see, I didn’t have that specific issue, but you never know if others might.
If you are streaming, aren't there better devices for streaming? Like Razer Edge, Retroid Pocket 5.. etc, the steam deck would be unnecessarily bulky and heavy for such task
