Missing camera drivers are installed automatically. The supported native Mint/Ubuntu installer acquires the matching prebuilt driver and supporting video modules, creates Maximizer Camera and grants access. It also handles older static drivers and corrects fresh Host profile ownership. Client1.0.280 works with this update. Read the complete public release notes.

For normal supported native Host1.0.275 setup, the installer handles missing drivers and the camera receiver automatically. Allow preparation to finish, then enable sharing in your browser or desktop Client and select Maximizer Camera in the remote app. A previous deliberate disable or custom path is preserved. Browser hosting remains a separate opt-in. See the setup guide.

Install the current native Host on your supported Linux remote PC. In the desktop Client, choose Settings → Audio → Camera passthrough, select the device and mode, then start a stream and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B. In the HTTPS browser player, choose Enable camera and grant permission. Select Maximizer Camera inside the remote app. Sharing starts off each session. Follow the simple camera setup steps.

No. On supported Mint/Ubuntu systems, the installer downloads signed prebuilt packages matching the running kernel and prepares the camera automatically. It needs Internet access when packages are missing. Custom kernels without matching packages, blocked module signatures and sandboxed Hosts have separate limits. Read the package and kernel scope.

No. The six mode selections are upper limits, not guaranteed fresh-frame rates. Camera capabilities, encoding/decoding resources and the network all matter. Native passthrough and hardware encoding can reduce work, while JPEG fallback can be slower at high resolutions. Camera reception currently requires a Linux Host; this does not redirect a USB webcam into a Windows VM. Read compatibility and current limits.

Yes: configure the current Host’s optional Desktop Browser Client, trusted HTTPS and a Host Users streaming account, then open that Host’s client link in a compatible desktop browser. Browser hosting is off by default. The native Client remains the lowest-latency option, particularly for competitive FPS. See browser setup and package support.

Use desktop Client280 with Linux Host275. In Settings → Gamepad Settings, enable Forward joysticks and wheels (preview). Standard force feedback and Map separate slider pedals to brake and accelerator have separate controls. Start a new stream and bind each device in-game. Host controller input and uinput access are required; physical hardware and game support depend on the driver. Read setup and diagnostics guidance.

On a secondary Modern card, Open PC opens that PC’s View All Apps list, including hidden apps, without triggering a saved Direct Launch app. PC options and the … menu retain the other management actions.

The Host runs on the PC doing the work. The Client runs on the device where you watch and control it. For your own PC, install both on their respective devices. A managed cloud PC may already have the Host installed.

No. They are released separately: the current downloads are Client v1.0.280 and Host v1.0.275. Install the Client on the device you play on and the Host on the Gaming PC. Modern is a Client interface choice; Host275 remains compatible. Use both current apps for the complete file-transfer tools.

In desktop Client280, open Settings → UI Settings → Interface theme, choose Modern, then close and restart the Client. Classic is the default and stays available. Select Classic and restart to switch back. The saved choice is per profile and does not change during an open session. Android uses its separate interface. See the updated Modern interface.

No. Resolution, frame rate, codec and bitrate show your saved preferences for the next stream. Automatic codec stays Automatic, and bitrate is the saved target in Mbps. Per-PC Display Setup may choose a different resolution or frame rate. The featured hardware artwork is decorative, not a list of connected devices.

Yes. Their v1.0.280 Linux x64 builds retain Vulkan Video hardware decoding and Vulkan presentation as the preferred path when the requested codec, GPU and driver support it. They also include the AV1 initialization fix, bounded Vulkan failure recovery and the patched VA-API/EGL fallback introduced in269. Launch normally; Vulkan graphics support alone is not enough, so the Client checks actual video capabilities. See the video improvements and test results.

Client v1.0.280 retains the native ARM64 DEB for Orange Pi 5 / RK3588S introduced in268, targeting Armbian 26.8.1 GNOME, Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute, vendor kernel 6.1.115. Choose Orange Pi 5 / ARM64 in the selector, or use the ARM64 download card. Native builds and software/GUI tests passed; board-specific hardware decoding, Mali graphics, physical audio/input and streaming performance still need on-board testing. Start board tests with 1080p60 H.264/HEVC and check the actual decoder. Read the installation and verification notes.

Install desktop Client v1.0.280 on your Mac. It retains Client267’s native macOS Keychain fix, so successfully saved credentials survive a Client restart. If an older build already lost them, enter and save them again using Manage Credentials. Allow the usual Keychain unlock/access approval if macOS asks. A save error means they are available only for the current login until you successfully save again. Read the credential fix.

Maximum Settings Gaming PCs automatically shut down after 2 hours unless you change the session limit. If needed, extend it up to 12 hours at login.maximumsettings.com. Client266 shows this reminder once in its initial Start and Pair login panel. Canceling, retrying, later connections and app restarts do not repeat it; already-paired profiles remain silent. The Client does not change the limit itself. Read the notice details.

Install desktop Client v1.0.280 on your local device. It retains Client266’s tooltip correction based on the app’s actual unavailable state, matching the green readiness indicator. Genuine passthrough-unavailable warnings and existing cooldown protection remain. Read the Client fix.

Use the paired PC’s Send File… menu to choose files or a folder, then review and approve the upload. To bring files back, use Browse Host files…. First enable Client Downloads and choose the allowed folder in the Host’s Network settings, then restart the Host. Downloads are disabled by default. Follow the three-step guide.

Client v1.0.280 retains native/DEB downloads into tested eCryptfs-encrypted folders. Keep the original folder accessible and try Resume on the existing job. Keep both and Skip are supported; replacing an existing file and the tested portal-over-eCryptfs combination have limits explained in the transfer release notes.

In desktop Client280, choose Clear history… to remove inactive entries while running and queued work continues. Completed files remain. For larger files, use Client280 + Host275 and set File Transfer Max Size to 0 in Host Configuration → Network, save and restart. This removes the configured per-file cap; disk space, filesystem and session limits remain. The default is still 100 MiB. See the size setting.

Install Client v1.0.280 on your Linux device. It retains the false busy-folder correction for the tested ordinary document portal. If access expires, use Locate destination… to choose the original folder again, then Resume. Keep hidden recovery files intact. Portal access layered over eCryptfs remains unsupported. Read the download fix.

Install Client v1.0.280 on your local device. It includes Client262’s fix for older Clients closing before pairing when another saved PC was listed, and the correction for Display Setup afterward. Read the fix details.

Install Host v1.0.275 on the Gaming PC, then try opening it again in Moonlight Android or Maximizer Android. It includes Host264’s corrected app-list response, including empty lists. No new Android APK, re-pairing or apps.json reset is required for this protocol fix. Read the release notes.

Client261 replaced rounded desktop-size calculations with the monitor’s native pixel mode and carries the selected monitor through stream startup. Client262 added the Windows native monitor-ID correction. The current Client280/Host275 downloads retain these fixes, the larger supported-mode list and nominal 59.94/60 Hz handling. Move the Client to your preferred screen before starting. See the display fixes.

Maximizer is free to download. You can stream from your own compatible PC. Renting a cloud PC from Maximum Settings is a separate, optional paid service.

Yes, when the host is reachable from your client. For a personal host, internet streaming requires suitable network configuration. Latency, bandwidth and Wi-Fi quality all affect the experience; a stable wired connection is a useful starting point.

On an x64 PC with Ubuntu 24.04 or Linux Mint 22, choose the Ubuntu/Mint DEB. Flatpak and portable AppImage are also available. All three v1.0.280 formats include the optional Modern theme and retain the Vulkan Video-first decoding policy and rendering fixes; the Flatpak also retains WebGPU-enabled Web Games. AppImage keeps its Ubuntu22.04 baseline and existing native-Wayland exclusion. For Orange Pi 5 with the stated Armbian Ubuntu 26.04 ARM64 image, choose the separate Orange Pi 5 / ARM64 DEB. The x64 and ARM64 packages are not interchangeable. All Host formats are v1.0.275. See the decoding and rendering results and package notes.

The retained Android download is the root variant, with an unsigned advanced artifact for users who sign packages themselves. Each Android card shows its actual version. This desktop release does not rebuild or re-sign Android, or add the native generic wheel/pedal feature to it.

Each current package has a SHA-256 checksum on the all downloads page. Compare it with the checksum of your downloaded file. That page also lists exact filenames, sizes and previous public downloads.
