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. The extension does not update automatically so check here for updates regularly.

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:

  • Current Chrome builds have erratic mouse capture behavior with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709). This is not specific to Moonlight, but affects all Chrome apps and web pages. See #353 for details.
  • Streaming performance is worse than expected on some client hardware
  • Error handling needs work

Changes from Alpha 0.8.1:

  • Fixed streaming with GeForce Experience 3.12
  • IMPORTANT: If you stream over the Internet, you must add a new port forwarding entry for TCP 48010
