Question 1

Do my friends need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. They click the link and they're in — any modern browser works: phone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV. Zero downloads, zero accounts, zero 'wait while I set this up'.

Question 2

What do I need to start a room?

Accepted Answer

A Windows or Linux PC and our free app, LPT Studio. Under a minute to install and sign up. Open the game, share the link, you're playing together. That's it.

Question 3

Does it work on Mac, Linux, or Steam Deck?

Accepted Answer

Your friends can join from any of those — the browser is cross-platform. For hosting, you need Windows, Linux, or a Steam Deck (SteamOS): on Steam Deck it runs right in Game Mode with our Decky plugin, or in Desktop Mode like any Linux PC. Mac Stream Hosts are on our radar — join the Discord to be the first to know.

Question 4

How many friends can join a room?

Accepted Answer

Up to 6 friends per room. And there is no session time limit — you can play all night without getting cut off.

Question 5

Can I play with a real gamepad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Xbox, PlayStation, generic USB, or Bluetooth — all work. On phones, a virtual joystick appears automatically. Keyboards work too; we map them to controller buttons so nothing gets left out.

Question 6

Will my favorite game work?

Accepted Answer

If it runs on your PC, it works. Single-player, couch co-op, fighting games, retro classics, indie gems, RPGs — we share whatever's on your screen. No special per-game integration to wait for.

Question 7

Is the stream smooth enough for action games?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver up to 1080p at 60fps — plenty for fighting games, racers, and platformers. Our LPT connection servers across LatAm keep latency low where it matters. Final smoothness depends on the hardware and network on each side.

Question 8

Does streaming affect my game's performance?

Accepted Answer

A little, yes: being the host uses part of your PC to encode the video while you play. That's why we encode with your GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) to keep the impact minimal. With a dedicated GPU from the last few years you'll barely notice it; on more modest rigs you may lose a few fps — streaming at 720p helps there. Your friends carry none of this: they just receive the video in the browser.

Question 9

Is my room private? Can randoms join?

Accepted Answer

Your room is private by default. Only people with your invite link can knock — and you approve every single one before they enter. You can kick anyone out with one click, or switch who plays versus who just watches.

Question 10

Can I make my room public?

Accepted Answer

If you want to. Public rooms show up at rooms.letsplaytogether.app so new players can discover them. Stay private if you just want a close-circle game night. Your call, every time.

Question 11

Can we have a watch-party with movies or shows?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for your own content. Share the screen, drop into voice chat, press play at the same time. It's like being on the same couch, without the travel.

Question 12

What if my connection hiccups mid-game?

Accepted Answer

Easy Connect keeps the room alive even on tricky networks or flaky Wi-Fi. If something breaks anyway, report it from inside the room. Real humans read every ticket.
