Nice!
Is there any chance that we will be able to do the opposite also?
I mean streaming the Switch screen to PC.
Why not connect a Switch dock to the PC screen, if there's a free HDMI port?
The dock is expensive, and third party versions have been know to cause the hdmi out function to not work, or brick switches entirely, not to mention it is about 10x bigger than it really needs to be, there are plenty of reason why the feature would be useful, including as you mentioned, the lack of an extra available hdmi port.
If you can afford to buy a switch, then the dock is only a quarter of the price. Worth it for not having to deal with unreliable streams.
I don't understand your point, it's a useful, and applicable feature that is being requested by users. Joy-cons come with the system and are a quarter of the price too, it doesn't stop people from using adapters, or homebrew if it were available to use other controllers for whatever reason they choose to.
Just saying, if you want to play the switch on your computer, it seems like a more sensible way just to plug the dock straight into your monitors hdmi input.
Streaming Pc to the switch is what this thread is about.
No this thread is about an app for the switch in which the users are asking if additional feature will be available in the future, what it is not about is suggesting alternatives to those feature requests. Personally I would like to hear from someone actually developing the app regarding the matter, not just another member randomly shutting down feature request for no good reason.
It's not just about connecting it to your dock, some people have only laptops and those have HDMI Out so you can't pass the signal to the display but with an app you can stream it to the display instead.
Why not start a new thread about it then. Sorry if i'm wrong but I perceived that This thread is about streaming PC content to the switch using a homebrew switch app (currently available).
Surely if it was the other way round, there would need to be dedicated PC software designed in conjunction with a switch app to receive the stream from the switch to the PC.

Ok, but do you really think the switch would be powerful enough to stream it's display and controls to an external device wirelessly, even with overclocking enabled?
