Quickstart
Two ways to use YiLink: share instantly with a link (no sign-up needed), or sign in to keep your PCs listed under your account. Three minutes from download to playing, either way.
1. Prepare the host
- Download and install the YiLink host on your Windows PC.
- Launch the app and let it connect.
- A wired network connection is recommended for the host.
2. Create a connection
- In the host app, create a room or show the QR code.
- Copy the share link, or scan the QR code with your phone.
- Open the link in a browser on your client device (phone, tablet, laptop).
- Signed-in mode: create an account, sign in on the host, and your hosts appear in your account list, no share link needed.
3. Start playing
- The video appears as soon as the connection is established.
- Open the toolbar on the left to adjust fullscreen, resolution, and bitrate.
- For games, enable pointer lock for the best mouse experience.
