# Moonlight for ChromeOS

[Moonlight for ChromeOS](https://moonlight-stream.org) is an open source client for NVIDIA GameStream and [Sunshine](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine).

Moonlight for ChromeOS allows you to stream your full collection of games from your powerful desktop to another PC or laptop running ChromeOS.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for [Android](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) and [iOS/tvOS](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios).

Check out [the Moonlight wiki](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki) for more detailed project information, setup guide, or troubleshooting steps.

## Deprecation

Moonlight for ChromeOS is a legacy client that depends on the [deprecated NaCl runtime](https://blog.chromium.org/2021/10/extending-chrome-app-support-on-chrome.html). It is receiving only basic bugfixes and little/no feature work.

For ChromeOS systems, we recommend migrating to the [Android](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) app for additional features, functionality, and active support. Please reach out in the [GitHub tracker](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) if there are any functionality or performance regressions when moving to the Android client on ChromeOS systems.

For Windows, Mac, and Linux clients, we recommend running the [native PC port](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt).
