Info

It is possible to start more than one “EL.exe“ in a single PC to run multiple stream from the same PC but this might cause poor streaming experience due to the lack of hardware resources like CPU, GPU or RAM.

 

Info

Tip : On Sleep mode, the Stream stops. You need to make sure the EL is running non stop. You can change it from your computer’s settings.

 

Info

Tip : It is possible to install the EL in a Personal computer for testing purposes (if it does Pixel Streaming, i.e. has a dedicated GPU), then REMOVE IT and install it in another machine.

Warning 🛑

If you see the error below while streaming your App in the Browser, the stream should be working still.
