Can you use a RealVNC variant instead? I just replaced TeamViewer with UltraVNC single click for my remote support needs, it’s free, it’s branded with my logo and my clients find it easier to use.

I'm not sure, I think I've tried it but I don't remember what the result was. Note that our goal is decently fast (20fps+) 3d graphics.

I've also tried moonlight (which is an nvidia gamestream implementation), which seems to have performance but the client wasn't very usable for this usecase.

You can try Parsec as well. Not created for this purpose but works very well for productivity. In my experience maintains 60fps.

Oh, yeah it's probably not going to handle that too well. It's not really designed for full motion video. I tried running a game over it and only got a couple of FPS (although that's over an ancient USB WiFi dongle so modern performance might be better).

Still great for general productivity type stuff though!

What issues did you have with Moonlight?
