Parsec 150-84b

Parsec is a versatile gaming utility that offers a convenient screen-sharing service. With this program, you can enjoy playing your favorite local co-op multiplayer games with friends from all over the world. Its main focus is to provide a lag-free virtual gaming experience, but it also offers remote desktop access for enhanced work productivity. Additionally, Parsec allows you to reconnect and have fun activities with long-distance friends in a virtual environment. Best of all, this program is available for free.

To set up Parsec on Windows, you need to have Windows 7 or a later version. It is recommended to run the program with hardware-accelerated decoding for lower latency and improved quality, but make sure your computer supports it. If not, you can still use Parsec as long as your CPU supports OpenGL 2 or greater or uses the DirectX renderer. During installation, you will need to accept the Windows Firewall exception request. If the installation fails, it may be due to your antivirus blocking it.

Before using Parsec, you must create an account to connect to a gaming PC that your friend has invited you to use via link-sharing or a friend request. If you don't have an account yet, you can easily create one. Advanced settings and connection management can be accessed in the settings tab of your Windows desktop. It's important to note that all settings are managed on the client-side.

In the Windows version of Parsec, you have the ability to host, unlike in the Mac version. Enabling the hosting feature is simple, just go to the 'Host' section in your settings and select 'Enabled'. However, hosting is only available on Windows 8.1 and above, not on Windows 7, macOS, or Ubuntu.

With the Windows version of Parsec, you can explore a wide range of possibilities, especially if your computer meets the program's recommended specifications. One notable feature exclusive to the Windows version is the hosting function, which allows you to host gaming sessions. This feature is not available on macOS or Ubuntu devices.
