Unsurprisingly, it includes a lot of Valve titles like Portal 2, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2. Once you have Steam installed, there's a surprisingly large group of games that Google has tried and suggests testers try as well. Google says you can find full directions here. From there, you'll need to enable a specific flag in Chrome as well as type a few commands into Chrome OS's Crosh terminal. I guess in theory if you got a 4k dummy plug then it might be able to display the 3:2 resolution without letterboxing.By subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy.Īssuming you have supported hardware, Google says you'll need to switch your Chromebook to the Dev channel, and cautions that you shouldn't do this with hardware that you rely on for daily use. I briefly looked into this but I couldn't find one that supported 3:2 aspect ratios. Warp lets you set up a software display with a configurable aspect ratio, so you essentially trick your client into thinking the host has a display that matches the client's aspect ratio.Īnother potential way to do this is to get an HDMI dummy plug for your host device. Unfortunately, this requires the Warp subscription ($10/mo, a bit much to stomach). With that said, I did find a way to do streaming with differing aspect ratios, using Parsec. When my Pixelbook died I actually picked my Asus CX5 specifically so I'd have something 16:9, otherwise I'd have got the 713 like you! Sadly I couldn't figure out how to get Steam Link working with an aspect ratio mismatch between host and client. Oh yes, I should have mentioned that - the Linux app is great.
