What LibreRemotePlay is
LibreRemotePlay lets friends play local co-op games online while connecting as though they were sharing one computer. The maker says it works with controller-compatible games, including DRM-free titles. Connections use peer-to-peer WebRTC, and LAN mode allows play without an internet connection. It can stream video with configurable codecs, frame rate, and resolution, and supports WHIP for tools such as GStreamer and OBS. Gamepads are supported, while keyboard and mouse input remains experimental. Windows and Linux are listed for hosting; clients can use Windows, Linux, or a web browser. The homepage says an account is not required. The maker says the app and client website collect no data, while the main website uses analytics without cookies or cross-site tracking. The project is described as very experimental and may not work on every system. Safari has known issues in the browser client, and macOS is unsupported. The app has no backend to self-host, though users can configure TURN/STUN servers or EasyConnectServer. It is free forever, with no account or credit card required.
