Disclaimer: This project is an independent open-source tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Parsec Cloud, Inc. or Unity Technologies. Uses CPU JPEG frame encoding over UDP rather than proprietary GPU hardware codecs. Key capabilities: • UDP Chunked Frame Streamer (Host & Client): captures X11 desktop frames via QScreen.grabWindow, encodes JPEG at configurable FPS (10-60), scale (50%-100%), and quality (30-95), splits frames into numbered UDP datagram chunks with microsecond timestamps, and reassembles frames in real time. • UDP Input Back-Channel: forwards mouse movement, clicks, scroll wheel, and keyboard events over UDP; applies input on X11 via XTest (libXtst) when available, or runs in honest view-only mode otherwise. • Live Real-Time Telemetry & Graphs: measures round-trip latency (RTT ms) via UDP timestamp echo, RFC 3550 EWMA jitter (ms), packet/chunk loss (%), measured FPS, and bitrate (Mbps) on live QPainter sparklines + frame log. • Stream Presets, Peer Access Control & Diagnostics: LAN High Quality / Balanced / Low-Bandwidth presets, HMAC peer token allowlist & session log, and a built-in localhost UDP loopback benchmark. Honest limitations: direct UDP only (no cloud relay or NAT traversal; host UDP port must be reachable on LAN/VPN). Uses CPU JPEG frame encoding rather than GPU hardware H.264/HEVC codecs, does not stream audio, and cannot access Wayland-native compositor windows or root lock screens.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/low-latency-screen-stream/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command: ``` sudo yum install epel-release ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Low Latency Screen Stream To install Low Latency Screen Stream, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install low-latency-screen-stream ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
