Parsec (software)

Parsec is a proprietary freeware desktop capturing application primarily used for playing games through video streaming. Using Parsec, a user can stream video game footage through an Internet connection, allowing one to run a game on one computer but play it remotely through another device. Although its main focus is gaming, Parsec can also be used as low-latency desktop sharing software. Parsec is available on most modern operating systems.[1]

Parsec also provides a paid "Parsec for Teams" version with additional features for artists and developers, such as additional administrative tools, better color accuracy and the ability to stream multiple screens at once.

Partnerships

Parsec used to provide a simple user interface for provisioning and connecting to pre-configured virtual machines hosted by Amazon Web Services and Paperspace,[2] this has however been removed and is no longer part of the current version. In January 2018, Parsec partnered with Hewlett-Packard to create OMEN Game Stream, a free cloud gaming service based on Parsec's technology designed specifically for HP Omen PCs.[3]

gollark: It's stream-y when packets are often more desirable, so you have to have metaapioformic things to delimit packets.
