Minimum Host PC requirements

  • Windows 10 21H2 or newer

Immediate display configuration and HDR support are only available on Windows 11 23H2 or newer!

Patreon version benefits

  • Access to more than one instance
  • Support for refresh rates > 30Hz
  • Support for HDR (on Windows 11 23H2 or newer)

Patreon versions can be upgraded with GitHub versions without losing their benefits, essentially making them a one-time $10 purchase if you want them to be.

Quick Setup Instructions

  1. Optional: Download and install ViGEmBus for gamepad support.
  2. Download either the GitHub or Patreon version of Duo.
  3. Should your browser give you a warning message, choose to Keep the file anyway.
  4. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen-instructions to finish installing it.
  5. After the setup finished, wait a minute for Windows' feature installer to catch up, then reboot your computer.
  6. Open the start menu, search for Duo Manager, execute it, and create your first instance.
  7. Click on the green play button to start Duo.
  8. Open Moonlight on your client device and wait for your instance to become visible.
  9. In Duo Manager, click on the Open Web Admin Panel button to open it in your default browser, then follow the on-screen instructions to set up and log into it.
  10. On your client device, tap your instance's icon in Moonlight to pair with it. You'll be given a 4-digit PIN, which you'll need in the next step.
  11. In your instance's Web Admin Panel, click on the PIN button, enter the 4-digit PIN from the previous step, then press the Enter key to confirm your input.

At this point, your client is paired to your new instance, and you're ready to play games.

If you're new to using Moonlight, now might be a good time to check their Wiki as well.
