The Steam Link can only stream from one device at a time, if that's what you're asking.

Ahhh the major downside with Steam In-Home streaming.

 

It might be possible if you setup a Virtual Machine that has GPU Passthrough (With it's own dedicated GPU) - install Steam on it, and try to Stream from the VM to the link.

 

You'd need to use a Virtual Machine host that supports PCIe/GPU Passthrough.

The link streams your game it doesn’t allow you to play another game

He wants to Stream TF2 to the Link, and also play TF2 on the host computer.

Oh.

In that case, I'd imagine assuming you have two Steam accounts, you could run one instance on a virtual machine and stream that to the Link and run the other instance on the main OS.

Ah yes, having two accounts - I did not consider that in my first post. Most likely you're correct.
