you go to your laptop and next to play there'll be a stream option. basically either can be host or client i think

The computers don't see each other

Make sure they are on the same subnet and no other program is using UDP port 27036, which is used for the initial discovery protocol. If another program has bound this port, please report which program it is on the bug discussion group.

If you're running a Mac client, try rebooting after Steam is updated.

Some people have also reported that custom firewalls or software like Hamachi interferes with the discovery process.

1.They are turned on and already see each other on the steam in home streaming option, they are recognizing each other

2.The steam on the laptop didn't have a drop down option hence cannot stream the game.

 

No idea about the UDP port, but i will re-install the steam

Okay it work now, the steam just need updating.

i re-installed the steam and it worked, there are a drop-down option now
