ESO gaming on Tablet

    I’d like to run on my desktop and remote play on a tablet.

    Sorry for necro'ing this 3 year old thread, but I wanted to offer a solution for those who might find this page. Chrome Remote Desktop won't work with ESO, but Steam Link will - even if you don't own the Steam version of ESO!
    ON YOUR REMOTE DEVICE (MOBILE, DESKTOP, ETC.):
    1) Download the Steam Link app for your remote device from https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay#anywhere
    - The links are under "Download Steam Link" on the right (as of the time of this posting).
    2) Install Steam Link on your remote device.
    3) Steam Link will display a 4-digit number. Remember it.
    ON YOUR ESO COMPUTER:
    4) Launch Steam on your computer with ESO on it.
    5) If you don't own the Steam version of ESO, add it as a Non-Steam Game in your Steam Library.
    6) In Steam, go to Steam > Settings > Remote Play > Pair Steam Link and enter the 4-digit code you got from Steam Link. Steam Link on your remote device should detect the pairing.
    ON YOUR REMOTE DEVICE:
    7) In Steam Link, connect to your linked computer.
    8) If it's unable to connect, then you need to forward the following ports to your ESO computer's IP address in your network router, and ensure they are not blocked in Windows Firewall (or any other firewall): UDP ports 27031-27036, and TCP ports 27036-27037. If you are unsure how to do this, just search for "how to forward ports".
    9) Now that Steam Link is connected, you can start playing! While using Steam Link, hold the ESC key to access the menu to end the game, or stop streaming.

    @tinydog This probably would have been better off as as a new post and linking to this thread if ppl needed to reference. But I also understand you were providing a solution noted in the thread, so no worries on the necro thread. I would say to make a new thread next time. Just so others in the thread are not pinged from a 3yr old thread.

    That being said, thank you for providing an answer for those who wish to use tablets!
