How to get the right Splashtop Streamer?

Streamers for different operating systems are embedded in the Splashtop Gateway to simplify the on-premise deployment process. When the system administrator creates/customizes a deployment package, Streamer Installer of different operating systems is included in the package. Therefore, the end users are always encouraged to use the built-in Splashtop Streamer to ensure the best compatibility and experience.

 

For end users to deploy Streamer on the computers to connect to

A Streamer must be installed on the remote computer that you want to connect to. To install a Streamer, submit a request to your system administrator.

You will probably receive a link similar to the one below:

https://(Splashtop_Server_IP):(Port Number)/web/management/download/(Deployment Code)

Splashtop Server IP: is the IP address of the server where Splashtop Gateway locates
Port Number: the default port used by Splashtop On-Prem is 443, but it can be changed
Deployment Code: is a 12-digit code that grants you the access to the deployment package
 
 
Open the link in a web browser, and you should see the Streamer download link in this page. Go straight to download and install the Streamer in your Windows/Mac/Android/Linux device.
 

Launching the Streamer for the first time, you are required to enter the Gateway IP address (including the port number) and the 12-digit deployment code and click Allow Access to complete the Streamer deployment.
