Most smart devices have steam link streaming built in now...which is sadly why they retired the hardware
I wouldn't say 'Most'.
Neither of my 3 different brand Smart TVs nor either of my Roku models have Steam Streaming.
Assuming you have an android phone:
Use Steam link to stream to phone; use phone to stream the picture to your TV. Should be easy with the Rokus since Roku uses Google's streaming system that's just part of Android. I've done this and it's passable with games that don't require super fast response times (like TBS games instead of FPS).
Might be possible with an iPhone too but I don't have one to have needed to figure this out 😅
Lmao the lag in that setup has to be ridiculous. Like you mentioned, tbs games and other slow games only lol
Yeah, support for it was cut for my TV sadly. I've got the device, but apps are convenient and don't involve running wires.
Oh yeah, that's a fair point.
