Tại Sao Chọn DeskIn Hơn Microsoft Remote Desktop?

Sau khi khám phá cả hai công cụ, điều quan trọng là so sánh cách DeskIn và Microsoft Remote Desktop (ứng dụng Windows) hoạt động ở những lĩnh vực chính. Trong khi cả hai đều cho phép bạn đăng nhập vào máy tính Windows từ Mac, chúng khác biệt rõ ràng về khả năng sử dụng, tính tương thích, và các tính năng.

Dưới đây là so sánh giữa hai công cụ để giúp bạn chọn giải pháp tốt nhất dựa trên nhu cầu của bạn:

Tính Năng

DeskIn

Microsoft Remote Desktop (Windows App)

Quá Trình Cài Đặt

Truy cập dựa trên đăng nhập đơn giản, không cần cấu hình mạng

Cần bật các cài đặt, nhập IP, và phiên bản Windows tương thích

Các Nền Tảng Hỗ Trợ

Windows, macOS, iOS, Android

macOS đến Windows chỉ

Hiển Thị & Hiệu Suất

Lên tới 4K 60FPS, nhiều màn hình, phát trực tuyến độ trễ thấp

Hiển thị tiêu chuẩn, ít tối ưu cho khả năng phản hồi theo thời gian thực

Chuyển Tệp

Chuyển tệp tích hợp, hỗ trợ chuyển tốc độ cao giữa các nền tảng

Chuyển hướng tệp hạn chế

Tính Năng Bảo Mật

Màn hình riêng tư, xác thực thiết bị, kiểm soát kết nối

Mã hóa cơ bản, phụ thuộc vào bảo vệ cấp hệ điều hành

Chơi Game & Sử Dụng Sáng Tạo

Các Câu Hỏi Thường Gặp Về Cách Truy Cập Windows từ Mac

Q1: Tôi có cần phải ở trên cùng một mạng để truy cập từ xa một PC từ Mac không?

Với Ứng dụng Windows, bạn thường cần phải ở trên cùng một mạng cục bộ hoặc sử dụng VPN để mô phỏng môi trường đó; nếu không, kết nối có thể thất bại hoặc yêu cầu chuyển tiếp cổng, điều này không thân thiện với người mới bắt đầu.

DeskIn, ngược lại, sử dụng máy chủ trung gian dựa trên đám mây để cho phép kết nối qua mạng mặc định. Điều này làm cho nó tiện lợi hơn cho người dùng làm việc từ xa trên các địa điểm hoặc mạng khác nhau.

Q2: Tôi có thể chuyển tệp từ Mac đến PC của mình trong phiên làm việc từ xa không?

Ứng dụng Windows hỗ trợ chuyển hướng tệp cơ bản, nhưng chỉ từ các thư mục đã chỉ định trước và với khả năng xử lý tệp hạn chế. Nó phù hợp cho việc truy cập tệp nhẹ, không phải chuyển giao động.

DeskIn cung cấp một giao diện chuyển tệp chuyên dụng, cho phép chuyển tệp kéo-thả theo thời gian thực với tốc độ lên đến 12MB/s, bất kể định dạng tệp. Nó cũng hỗ trợ đồng bộ clipboard và chia sẻ thư mục cho những quy trình làm việc nâng cao hơn.

Q3: Tôi có thể sử dụng những ứng dụng này để chơi game PC từ Mac không?

Ứng dụng Windows không được thiết kế cho các tác vụ hiệu năng cao như chơi game. Độ trễ đầu vào, FPS giới hạn, và thiếu hỗ trợ tay cầm game khiến nó không thực tế cho nội dung tương tác.

DeskIn, tuy nhiên, cung cấp phát trực tuyến 60FPS, đầu vào độ trễ thấp, hỗ trợ tay cầm, và tùy chỉnh ánh xạ bàn phím/chuột. Mặc dù không phải là một nền tảng phát trực tuyến game đầy đủ, nhưng nó phù hợp cho trải nghiệm chơi game từ xa nhẹ nhàng hoặc yêu cầu vừa phải.


Kết Luận

Nếu bạn đang tìm kiếm một cách nhanh chóng và miễn phí để kết nối vào một máy tính Windows từ Mac, Microsoft Remote Desktop (Windows App) là một lựa chọn vững chắc, đặc biệt là cho người dùng doanh nghiệp có quyền truy cập vào phiên bản Windows đúng và thiết lập mạng hợp lý.

Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn cần một trải nghiệm máy tính để bàn từ xa đa năng hơn, đầy đủ tính năng hơn, và thân thiện với người dùng, DeskIn là sự lựa chọn nổi bật. Nó loại bỏ các rào cản kỹ thuật, hỗ trợ các trường hợp sử dụng đa dạng từ công việc đến giải trí, và bao gồm các công cụ mạnh mẽ như chuyển tệp, phản chiếu màn hình, và phát trực tuyến 4K, ngay cả trong phiên bản miễn phí của nó.

Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing: Why DeskIn Beats AnyDesk, TeamViewer & Parsec

Remote work didn’t just change how teams collaborate: it transformed how game testing gets done.

Today’s QA teams are global, developers work across time zones, and playtests happen far beyond a single studio. That makes screen sharing no longer optional, but essential. The challenge is that most remote tools weren’t built for real gameplay. They lag, drop frames, and blur the details QA teams rely on.

DeskIn is different. It’s engineered for high-FPS visuals, ultra-low latency, and accurate gameplay feedback, making it a modern screen-sharing solution built specifically for remote game testing and remote gameplay.

Let’s break down why DeskIn is quickly becoming the best screen-sharing tool for game developers, and why tools like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and even Parsec fall short for serious QA work.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Real Use Cases in Game QA & Development, Why Need a Screen Sharing Tool?

Remote screen sharing has moved from a "nice-to-have" to a critical, indispensable tool in modern game Quality Assurance (QA). Its adoption is driven by fundamental shifts in how games are developed, tested, and collaborated on.

Here’s a breakdown of why it's now essential:

  • Real-time bug reproduction
    QA shares live gameplay while developers observe inputs and system behavior, allowing issues to be reproduced and fixed immediately: no back-and-forth recordings required.

  • VFX and visual review
    Teams review lighting, shaders, and effects with crisp color accuracy during screen sharing for game testing, without compression hiding defects. 

  • Remote prototype playtesting
    Testers play early builds remotely, enabling fast feedback without large downloads or complex setup using remote game testing software.

  • Cross-play testing (mobile & PC)
    Teams can test mobile and PC gameplay side by side, mirroring mobile screens to desktop while validating controls, UI behavior, and performance across platforms, an essential use case for remote QA tools.

  • Animation timing review
    Animation teams benefit from high-FPS streaming to review movement and timing frame by frame. Subtle issues in transitions, hit reactions, or camera motion are easier to spot when playback is smooth and accurate.

  • Multiplayer latency testing
    QA can conduct latency and synchronization tests while developers watch live sessions. This helps teams identify network-related issues faster using effective remote dev tools.

  • Secure external QA access
    External QA partners can securely access builds and testing environments through DeskIn, making collaboration smoother while keeping pre-release content protected.

How Remote Desktop Software for Gaming Improves Productivity & Play

Remote gaming isn’t just a niche tool anymore; it’s becoming the new normal lifestyle. Gamers today want to play wherever they are: on a low-spec laptop, a tablet, or even a phone. But here’s the catch: high-end gaming rigs are expensive, heavy, and definitely not travel-friendly. That’s where remote desktop software for gaming steps in, letting you tap into the power of your home gaming PC from literally anywhere.

But here’s the truth no one says out loud: Not every remote desktop software can handle gaming, especially fast, competitive titles. Some introduce lag, input delay, or washed-out graphics that absolutely ruin the experience.

That’s why new-gen solutions like DeskIn have emerged, tools built specifically to deliver low-latency remote desktop, high FPS, crisp color, and real gaming control, not just “screen access”.

Why Gamers Use Remote Desktop Software

Gamers don’t switch to remote desktop software for gaming just because it sounds cool: they use it because it solves real, everyday problems in ways traditional setups simply can’t. Here are the most common (and honestly, most relatable) reasons players are embracing remote access:

  • Play high-end games on a low-end device
    As it turns out, a MacBook, Chromebook, or iPad can’t run AAA games by itself, but if you use remote desktop software to stream the game from a PC you own with good hardware, these devices turn into portable high-end gaming screens. It offloads the computation-intensive rendering work to your main PC and then just streams over the action to your secondary device.

  • Game while traveling
    Business trips, holidays, vacations; none need to interrupt gaming when you have a stable remote gaming setup going. You can complete some work at a hotel desk and then dive right into your Steam library without having to lug around a heavy gaming laptop or desktop tower through the airport. Remote access keeps your gaming routine alive, no matter the time zone.

  • Maximize mobility
    Modern remote desktop software for gamers makes it incredibly easy to play from a phone or tablet. Just pair a controller or use touch input, and the device becomes a portable gaming machine. Perfect for casual sessions on the couch, during commutes, or while relaxing between flights.

  • Access your full Steam/Battle.net/EPIC library remotely
    Unlike cloud gaming, which often limits you to curated catalogs, remote desktop software streams your entire PC exactly as it is. Mods, custom settings, experimental builds, add-ons, indie games, everything stays intact. Your entire library travels with you without any platform restrictions.

  • No need to buy multiple gaming PCs
    Instead of investing in multiple PCs for different locations or devices, gamers rely on remote desktop software for gaming to stretch the value of a single high-spec rig. From tablets to old laptops, anything becomes a viable gaming screen. This approach saves money, simplifies setups, and makes remote play feel seamless and efficient.

  • Game developers testing builds remotely
    Developers can run heavy builds on a workstation and test gameplay, performance, or UI remotely from a laptop or tablet. This is especially useful for quick QA checks, debugging, or testing across different environments without constantly switching machines.

  • Project mobile games onto a bigger screen
    Remote access also makes it easy to project mobile games onto a larger display. Developers, streamers, and testers can mirror mobile gameplay to a PC or monitor for better visibility, recording, or live demonstrations. Using remote desktop software, mobile games become easier to analyze, present, and refine on a full-sized screen.

Key Features of Remote Desktop Software for Gaming

The best remote desktop software for gaming doesn’t just give you access to your PC on another system: it gives you access to both the strength of your host device and a finely tuned gaming experience, all in one package. These are the core elements that contribute to the polished, playable feel of remote gaming.

Ultra-Low Latency

Latency determines whether a game feels responsive or frustrating. In shooting and MOBA games, or skill-based competitive ones too, the delay of over 40ms could disrupt aim and timing. Modern low-latency remote desktop tools, including optimized platforms like DeskIn, use advanced protocols to reduce input delays and keep gameplay tight and reactive.

High FPS Support (144–240FPS)

Many standard remote access apps cap FPS at 30–60, which isn’t enough for fast-paced games. High FPS means smoother camera movement, cleaner motion, and better precision. Today’s gaming-focused platforms support 120FPS+, with some solutions streaming up to 2K144FPS for near-native fluidity.

High Resolution 

Remote gaming benefits massively from crisp detail, especially in 4K titles or visually heavy worlds. Older tools often compress visuals into blurry text and washed-out colors. Newer remote desktop software for gaming maintains sharper resolution and better color fidelity, offering clearer textures and more accurate UI readability.

Accurate Keyboard, Controller & Mouse Input

Fast input recognition is essential. This consistency is essential for any game that demands timing and precision. A well-optimized remote desktop software for gamers should ensure that every input is transmitted cleanly, avoiding ghost touches or lag spikes that disrupt the flow of gameplay.

Stable Network Optimization

Network stability plays a massive role in remote gaming performance. Many people assume remote play always means lag, but modern platforms prove otherwise.

These systems help maintain smooth gameplay even when Wi-Fi conditions fluctuate. Instead of sudden freezes or pixelation, the software dynamically adjusts to keep the experience stable.

How Remote Desktop Software for Gaming Improves Productivity & Play

Remote gaming isn’t just a niche tool anymore; it’s becoming the new normal lifestyle. Gamers today want to play wherever they are: on a low-spec laptop, a tablet, or even a phone. But here’s the catch: high-end gaming rigs are expensive, heavy, and definitely not travel-friendly. That’s where remote desktop software for gaming steps in, letting you tap into the power of your home gaming PC from literally anywhere.

But here’s the truth no one says out loud: Not every remote desktop software can handle gaming, especially fast, competitive titles. Some introduce lag, input delay, or washed-out graphics that absolutely ruin the experience.

That’s why new-gen solutions like DeskIn have emerged, tools built specifically to deliver low-latency remote desktop, high FPS, crisp color, and real gaming control, not just “screen access”.

Why Gamers Use Remote Desktop Software

Gamers don’t switch to remote desktop software for gaming just because it sounds cool: they use it because it solves real, everyday problems in ways traditional setups simply can’t. Here are the most common (and honestly, most relatable) reasons players are embracing remote access:

  • Play high-end games on a low-end device
    As it turns out, a MacBook, Chromebook, or iPad can’t run AAA games by itself, but if you use remote desktop software to stream the game from a PC you own with good hardware, these devices turn into portable high-end gaming screens. It offloads the computation-intensive rendering work to your main PC and then just streams over the action to your secondary device.

  • Game while traveling
    Business trips, holidays, vacations; none need to interrupt gaming when you have a stable remote gaming setup going. You can complete some work at a hotel desk and then dive right into your Steam library without having to lug around a heavy gaming laptop or desktop tower through the airport. Remote access keeps your gaming routine alive, no matter the time zone.

  • Maximize mobility
    Modern remote desktop software for gamers makes it incredibly easy to play from a phone or tablet. Just pair a controller or use touch input, and the device becomes a portable gaming machine. Perfect for casual sessions on the couch, during commutes, or while relaxing between flights.

  • Access your full Steam/Battle.net/EPIC library remotely
    Unlike cloud gaming, which often limits you to curated catalogs, remote desktop software streams your entire PC exactly as it is. Mods, custom settings, experimental builds, add-ons, indie games, everything stays intact. Your entire library travels with you without any platform restrictions.

  • No need to buy multiple gaming PCs
    Instead of investing in multiple PCs for different locations or devices, gamers rely on remote desktop software for gaming to stretch the value of a single high-spec rig. From tablets to old laptops, anything becomes a viable gaming screen. This approach saves money, simplifies setups, and makes remote play feel seamless and efficient.

  • Game developers testing builds remotely
    Developers can run heavy builds on a workstation and test gameplay, performance, or UI remotely from a laptop or tablet. This is especially useful for quick QA checks, debugging, or testing across different environments without constantly switching machines.

  • Project mobile games onto a bigger screen
    Remote access also makes it easy to project mobile games onto a larger display. Developers, streamers, and testers can mirror mobile gameplay to a PC or monitor for better visibility, recording, or live demonstrations. Using remote desktop software, mobile games become easier to analyze, present, and refine on a full-sized screen.

Key Features of Remote Desktop Software for Gaming

The best remote desktop software for gaming doesn’t just give you access to your PC on another system: it gives you access to both the strength of your host device and a finely tuned gaming experience, all in one package. These are the core elements that contribute to the polished, playable feel of remote gaming.

Ultra-Low Latency

Latency determines whether a game feels responsive or frustrating. In shooting and MOBA games, or skill-based competitive ones too, the delay of over 40ms could disrupt aim and timing. Modern low-latency remote desktop tools, including optimized platforms like DeskIn, use advanced protocols to reduce input delays and keep gameplay tight and reactive.

High FPS Support (144–240FPS)

Many standard remote access apps cap FPS at 30–60, which isn’t enough for fast-paced games. High FPS means smoother camera movement, cleaner motion, and better precision. Today’s gaming-focused platforms support 120FPS+, with some solutions streaming up to 2K144FPS for near-native fluidity.

High Resolution 

Remote gaming benefits massively from crisp detail, especially in 4K titles or visually heavy worlds. Older tools often compress visuals into blurry text and washed-out colors. Newer remote desktop software for gaming maintains sharper resolution and better color fidelity, offering clearer textures and more accurate UI readability.

Accurate Keyboard, Controller & Mouse Input

Fast input recognition is essential. This consistency is essential for any game that demands timing and precision. A well-optimized remote desktop software for gamers should ensure that every input is transmitted cleanly, avoiding ghost touches or lag spikes that disrupt the flow of gameplay.

Stable Network Optimization

Network stability plays a massive role in remote gaming performance. Many people assume remote play always means lag, but modern platforms prove otherwise.

These systems help maintain smooth gameplay even when Wi-Fi conditions fluctuate. Instead of sudden freezes or pixelation, the software dynamically adjusts to keep the experience stable.

DeskIn: The Best Remote Desktop Software for Gaming Right Now

DeskIn stands out as one of the most performance-focused options in the remote desktop software for the gaming space. It’s engineered for speed, clarity, and responsiveness: the things that actually matter when you’re playing fast, demanding games instead of just accessing a desktop.

Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing: Why DeskIn Beats AnyDesk, TeamViewer & Parsec

Remote work didn’t just change how teams collaborate: it transformed how game testing gets done.

Today’s QA teams are global, developers work across time zones, and playtests happen far beyond a single studio. That makes screen sharing no longer optional, but essential. The challenge is that most remote tools weren’t built for real gameplay. They lag, drop frames, and blur the details QA teams rely on.

DeskIn is different. It’s engineered for high-FPS visuals, ultra-low latency, and accurate gameplay feedback, making it a modern screen-sharing solution built specifically for remote game testing and remote gameplay.

Let’s break down why DeskIn is quickly becoming the best screen-sharing tool for game developers, and why tools like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and even Parsec fall short for serious QA work.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Real Use Cases in Game QA & Development, Why Need a Screen Sharing Tool?

Remote screen sharing has moved from a "nice-to-have" to a critical, indispensable tool in modern game Quality Assurance (QA). Its adoption is driven by fundamental shifts in how games are developed, tested, and collaborated on.

Here’s a breakdown of why it's now essential:

  • Real-time bug reproduction
    QA shares live gameplay while developers observe inputs and system behavior, allowing issues to be reproduced and fixed immediately: no back-and-forth recordings required.

  • VFX and visual review
    Teams review lighting, shaders, and effects with crisp color accuracy during screen sharing for game testing, without compression hiding defects. 

  • Remote prototype playtesting
    Testers play early builds remotely, enabling fast feedback without large downloads or complex setup using remote game testing software.

  • Cross-play testing (mobile & PC)
    Teams can test mobile and PC gameplay side by side, mirroring mobile screens to desktop while validating controls, UI behavior, and performance across platforms, an essential use case for remote QA tools.

  • Animation timing review
    Animation teams benefit from high-FPS streaming to review movement and timing frame by frame. Subtle issues in transitions, hit reactions, or camera motion are easier to spot when playback is smooth and accurate.

  • Multiplayer latency testing
    QA can conduct latency and synchronization tests while developers watch live sessions. This helps teams identify network-related issues faster using effective remote dev tools.

  • Secure external QA access
    External QA partners can securely access builds and testing environments through DeskIn, making collaboration smoother while keeping pre-release content protected.
