* If you want to stream in 4K resolution, you must check the "Allow experimental features" checkbox on the GeForce Experience settings page.
* If you can't successfully stream at all, try the [troubleshooting steps here](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting).
## Firewall setup
If you are not able to stream when connected to the same network as your gaming PC, you may need to add firewall rules to stream successfully. First, try disabling your firewall software (usually Windows Firewall or a firewall integrated into your anti-virus software) to confirm it's a firewall-related problem.
### Windows Firewall
GeForce Experience should create rules for Windows Firewall automatically, but in the event that they don't work, you can create the rules required for streaming by using the following steps:
1. Open a Command Prompt or PowerShell window as administrator
2. Run the following 2 commands:
* netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="GameStream UDP" dir=in protocol=udp localport=5353,47998-48002 action=allow
* netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="GameStream TCP" dir=in protocol=tcp localport=47984,47989 action=allow
3. Ensure your PC now appears online in Moonlight
### Other firewall software
For other firewall products, you should follow their instructions to create exceptions for the following ports:
* **TCP** 47984, 47989
* **UDP** 5353, 47998, 47999, 48000, 48010

NVIDIA SHIELD devices and Android 8.0 (Oreo) have mouse capturing built-in that Moonlight uses without needing root. Moonlight for Rooted Devices is not available for Android 8.0, since the non-root version contains all features that required root using the new Android Oreo APIs.
