現在越來越多小朋友也有智慧型手機,用來與家人聯絡或是娛樂。家長出於擔心孩子安全和防止孩子沉迷手機,會使用手機監控的程式管理孩子手機。

對於年齡較小的孩子,這些手機監控程式可以讓家長及時了解孩子的動態,當孩子遇到一些潛在危險、收到不良訊息,甚至遇到校園霸凌時可以及時察覺,介入並進行正確引導,以避免事情往更壞的方向發展。但這也涉及到一些倫理和隱私問題,不當使用可能影響家長和孩子的關係,適得其反。應該如何正確使用手機監控程式,如何選擇手機監控程式是一個對家長來説非常重要的問題。這篇文章介紹了4款手機監控程式,各有特點,可以根據自己的實際需求和情況進行選擇。如果你想要一款兼具觀看、操控手機,又很安全,孩子可接受的程式,推薦使用DeskIn

家長需要監控孩子手機的五大原因

1、控制手機使用時間

小朋友對於時間的管控能力可能還不夠強,加之目前網路上的誘惑越來越多。玩遊戲、看短影音、社群聊天,都可能導致孩子沉迷導致無節制使用手機。這時候,監控程式能幫助家長了解孩子手機使用情況,並適當進行管控和調節。

2、甄別不良資訊或程式

網路上的資訊非常複雜,孩子可能還不太會分辨。定期查看孩子手機簡訊、網頁瀏覽記錄、社群媒體,可以及時察覺孩子是否有收到或觀看一些不良的資訊,如色情、暴力、賭博、欺詐、毒品等等。若有,則需要對孩子進行正確的教育和引導並刪除屏蔽不良資訊。

3、防止誤觸付費

目前手機上的支付和驗證流程越來越簡潔,帶來便利的同時也有一定的隱患。孩子可能會偷偷進行遊戲氪金,打賞直播主,又或是不小心按到了軟體的訂閲按鈕,如果沒有及時發現,可能會帶來經濟損失。

4、了解孩子,預防危險

家長無法隨時在孩子身邊,在學校或是和朋友之間的相處是否有出現一些狀況,家長可能無法百分之百知道。透過監控孩子手機的簡訊或是社群聊天記錄,我們可以更好地了解孩子,與同學有矛盾,校園霸凌(被霸凌或是實施霸凌),被侵害等等都可能及時知道。部分監控程式也可以看到手機定位,當知道孩子遇到危險時,也可以儘早趕到。

5、解決手機使用疑問

孩子手機使用的時間可能沒有家長長。當遇到一些技術問題、手機設定問題、或是作業的上傳備份問題無法解決的,部分手機監控程式譬如DeskIn可以幫助家長遠端操控孩子的手機幫忙解決,還有内建的語音通話功能,溝通更順暢。

監控孩子手機前的4大注意事項

1、尊重孩子

雖然我們知道父母都是出於關心而監控孩子手機。但請記住,孩子也是個獨立的個體,他也有自己的想法,小秘密和隱私,在使用監控程式前請記住這一點,尊重孩子以及他們的意見,避免過於强勢導致關係惡化。最好實在孩子知情的情況下再接入他們的手機。

2、提前與孩子溝通

提前告知孩子您監控手機的想法和目的,同時也了解他們的想法,溝通並達成共識,記得一定要在得到孩子同意之後再下載和使用手機監控程式哦。若是他們不同意,我們是不是也可以再尋求其他的方式以達到了解他們手機使用狀況以及安全的目的?

3、制定約定並遵守

對於監控程式的使用,若是孩子有一些想法和要求,比如不得監控某些程式、監控時間等等,在溝通之後,記得把這些約定記下,并在之後使用監控程式時遵守。記住,信任和溝通比一切都重要。

4、選擇安全的監控軟體

當您決定要使用監控程式是,記得一定要選擇一款安全的監控軟體。畢竟這些程式會獲得您手機的大部分權限,部分軟體還會記錄孩子手機的隱私資訊。選擇不安全的程式可能會造成信息泄露的風險,嚴重的,還可能會對孩子的安全帶來威脅。

7 Best Streaming Apps for Gamers in 2025 (Built for Beginners)

Want to share your epic gameplays live but don’t know which app to use? You're not alone.

More and more gamers want to stream their sessions—whether it’s to grow a following, entertain friends, or even start a side hustle. But with so many streaming apps out there, choosing the right one can feel like sorting inventory in survival mode.

I’ve been in the game (literally) for over a decade, and I’ve tested all the popular options. In this post, I’ll walk you through the 7 best streaming apps for gaming in 2025—what makes them great, who they're for, and how to start, Let’s jump right in.

7 best streaming apps for gaming

1. Twitch

Twitch is still the go-to for most streamers—and for good reason. With a massive audience and deep integration with gaming culture, Twitch lets gamers interact in real time, build loyal communities, and even monetize their channels through subscriptions and Bits. Its features like raids, emotes, and clip sharing make it one of the best choice if you're looking to grow fast and engage consistently.

Why It's Great:

  • Supports PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile.

  • You can grow fast if you're consistent.

  • Huge community = easier to get discovered.

2. YouTube Gaming

YouTube Gaming is a strong contender for gamers who want long-term visibility. Your streams automatically become videos, helping you build a content library. The platform also offers high-resolution streaming and reliable monetization through ads and memberships. As part of the YouTube ecosystem, it's one of the best stream apps for gaming if discoverability and content longevity are your priorities.

Why It's Great:

  • Everything is in one place—videos, shorts, streams.

  • Streamed videos stay on your channel (great for building an archive).

  • Powerful search and recommended videos bring traffic even after you go offline.

3. Facebook Gaming

Facebook Gaming makes streaming accessible to casual gamers and existing Facebook users. It’s easy to go live with just a few clicks, and you can reach friends or groups instantly. Plus, it integrates well with existing Facebook communities. If you're targeting your personal network or niche audiences, this is among the alternative stream apps for gaming with a social twist.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy to invite your friend list.

  • Built-in audience if you're active on Facebook.

  • Live chat, reactions, and share options.

4. Discord

Originally a chat platform, Discord now offers seamless game streaming inside servers. You can share your screen in high quality with minimal delay, making it perfect for private streams among friends or exclusive communities. It may not be for public broadcasting, but it’s definitely one of the best stream apps for gaming if you're prioritizing intimacy and real-time feedback.

Why It's Great:

  • No setup needed—just click “Go Live.”

  • Works well for collabs, hangouts, or coaching sessions.

  • Quality audio/video even on slower connections.

5. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a broadcasting app built on OBS but with a much more user-friendly interface. It provides overlays, donation tools, and widgets that make your stream look pro with minimal effort. Whether you're streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, this tool makes your setup smoother. For streamers who want customization, it ranks among the best stream apps for gaming.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy setup with built-in themes & overlays.

  • Supports multistreaming.

  • Integrated widgets (chat, alerts, donation).

  • Cloud sync & performance analytics

6. OBS Studio

OBS Studio is the industry standard for professional streamers. It offers full control over scenes, audio mixing, filters, and transitions. Though it has a steeper learning curve, its power is unmatched. For those who want flexibility and top-tier quality, OBS is one of the best stream apps for gaming used by esports pros and content creators alike.

Why It's Great:

  • Raw and flexible, perfect for users who want full control.

  • Open-source software for live streaming and recording.

  • Free and lightweight, but requires manual setup (overlays, plugins, etc).

7. Kick

Kick is a newer streaming platform that’s quickly gaining traction due to its creator-friendly policies and high revenue share. With a simple interface and fewer restrictions than other platforms, Kick is ideal for those who want a fresh start. It might still be growing, but it deserves a spot on any list of the best stream apps for gaming in 2025.

Why It's Great:

  • 95/5 revenue split (yes, really).

  • Simple interface, no weird algorithm stuff.

  • Chill vibe and growing fast.

From creative fields to technical positions, gamers today have access to diverse and often remote-friendly careers. Here are 10 top jobs for gamers that align with their passions and, in many cases, allow the freedom of remote work:

1. Game Developer 

If you love building worlds as much as exploring them, becoming a game developer might be your calling. Many studios now offer remote roles in design, coding, and prototyping.

Traits That Fit: Systems thinking, technical curiosity, iterative problem-solving. 

2. Game Tester / QA Analyst

Every game needs stress-testing. As a QA analyst, you test functionality, bugs, and mechanics before a game goes public. It’s one of the most direct jobs for gamers who want to improve experiences for others.

Traits That Fit: Patience, attention to detail, persistence, and a critical eye. If you’ve ever written feedback on a beta release, this is you.

3. Streamer or Content Creator

Whether on Twitch, YouTube, or TikTok, content creators share gameplay, tips, and reactions. This job for gamers thrives on community engagement and personal branding.

Traits That Fit: Charisma, communication, consistency, a sense of humor, and deep game knowledge.

4. Community Manager

Love Discord? Can’t stop replying on forums? Many gaming companies hire community managers to engage with players, moderate spaces, and bring feedback to dev teams.

Traits That Fit: Empathy, problem-solving, diplomacy, and a love for community-building.

5. Esports Coach or Analyst

Competitive gamers are always optimizing. If you’re analytical and understand team dynamics, coaching or analyzing esports teams could be your ideal job.

Traits That Fit: Tactical thinking, data analysis, team leadership.

6. Game Translator

Combine your language skills with your love of gaming. As a game translator, you’ll translate your favorite video games into another language, helping gamers worldwide enjoy more variety.

Traits That Fit: fluent in multiple languages, this role values attention to detail, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of gaming terminology and narrative.

7. UX/UI Designer for Games

If you notice every clunky menu or awkward HUD, you might be perfect for UX design in games. Your job is to make interfaces fluid and enjoyable.

Traits That Fit: gamers with an eye for detail and empathy, this role suits those who understand player behavior, enjoy intuitive design, and think critically about user experience.

8. Senior Effects Artist

As a senior effects artist, you’ll work on games’ texturing, modeling, and simulation. Work with developers to provide technical support throughout the creative process.

Traits That Fit: cinematic eye and technical flair, this role fits those who appreciate visual impact, motion timing, and immersive gameplay moments.

9. Senior Technical Artist

When you’re a senior technical artist, you’ll analyze the technical side of games, offering suggestions and feedback to improve visual effects through better technological implementation.

Traits That Fit: for gamers who love both art and code, this role blends creative vision with problem-solving skills to optimize performance and push visual boundaries.

10. Localization Specialist

For bilingual gamers, translating games from one language to another—while preserving context—is a skill in high demand.

Traits That Fit: Perfect for gamers with strong linguistic skills and cultural awareness, this role suits those who can adapt game content to resonate authentically with local audiences.

午休想打 Game?用手機連回家裡電腦就行

午休想打 Game?用手機連回家裡電腦就行

根據麻省理工學院(MIT)2024 年針對混合辦公者的研究指出,每天進行 15~30 分鐘的短暫娛樂或創作活動,例如玩遊戲、創作、換個環境或裝置工作,能有效提升專注力恢復速度 22%,整體工作滿意度也提高了 17%。

這樣的效果,也許你早就有體會。午餐後打幾局《魔物獵人》,用 iPhone 點一下連上家裡電腦,遠端開玩,反而讓下午的會議思路更清晰,進入狀況也更快。這不是偷懶,而是一次專注力的「重新開機」。

那麼問題來了:這種短暫但高效的「切換時光」,如何才能更輕鬆實現?其實現在的數位工具,早已大幅減少切換裝置與環境的麻煩,讓你隨時隨地從任何裝置接上電腦,無縫銜接工作或娛樂。而其中,

一支手機,帶著你的遊戲機和剪輯室走

傳統遠端桌面工具常需設定 IP、打開防火牆、架中繼伺服器,操作門檻高,讓人誤以為那是 IT 工程師專用。但現在的 DeskIn 主打「零設定、一鍵連線」,支援 macOS、Windows、iOS、Android 平台,對於不想煩惱技術細節的用戶來說特別友善。

點擊此處下載DeskIn

遠端桌面早已從工作場景擴展到生活日常,根據微軟 2023 年《Digital Habits Index》,63% 的用戶用它處理非工作事務,包括遠端查看家中檔案(42%)、操作影音或遊戲設備(31%)、協助長輩設定電腦(27%)。

現在,我們用遠端工具不只是為了加班,而是創作、遊戲、分享都能跨裝置同步。例如,出國旅行途中,突然想到一個轉場點子?用 iPad 遠端連回家中 PC,立刻打開 Premiere Pro 剪接昨天未完成的片段。在咖啡廳聽見一段旋律,馬上用 Android 手機連回主機,開啟 FL Studio,把旋律混進原有的 beat 裡。 街頭拍完一組 RAW 照片,回不了家但急著修圖?用 MacBook Air 遠端連回有高階顯卡的桌機,開啟 Lightroom 修完即傳,分享剛拍完的作品,爽感滿滿。

這些都不是幻想,而是日常可以發生的場景。

Deskin遠端遊戲

2K + 144FPS 的極速體驗,創作與遊戲都不延遲

根據 TechRadar 評測,DeskIn 平均延遲僅 15~18ms,屬業界頂尖表現,支援 2K 高畫質與 144FPS 畫面更新率。透過鍵盤與滑鼠同步,即使用 iPhone、Android 或平板也能享有幾乎無延遲的輸入體驗。

不只是文書工作,就連剪輯師、3D 建模師、甚至電競玩家,也開始把 DeskIn 作為日常主力工具。

使用者實測:手機也能打 NBA 2K、渲染動畫

筆者的主機搭載 RTX 顯卡與 32GB RAM,平常用來做影片剪輯與遊戲測試。只要有 Wi-Fi,即使人在戶外,也能用 iPad 遠端開啟 Blender 渲染動畫,或打開 NBA 2K 玩幾場測試。完全不需要搬檔案、不用架 VPN,整個過程順到就像坐在自己桌機前。

即使玩 FPS 射擊遊戲,準度與流暢度也完全沒延遲,對我這種需要時常測試軟體與遊戲反應的重度使用者來說,完全過關。

為什麼值得一試?一鍵上手、不限場景、不限角色

DeskIn 不需要你會網路技術,也不是工程師專用,而是讓所有人能夠自由切換「在哪裡工作」與「用什麼設備創作」。當螢幕與裝置不再綁死我們的創意,我們的節奏才能真正自由流動。

7 Best Streaming Apps for Gamers in 2025 (Built for Beginners)

Want to share your epic gameplays live but don’t know which app to use? You're not alone.

More and more gamers want to stream their sessions—whether it’s to grow a following, entertain friends, or even start a side hustle. But with so many streaming apps out there, choosing the right one can feel like sorting inventory in survival mode.

I’ve been in the game (literally) for over a decade, and I’ve tested all the popular options. In this post, I’ll walk you through the 7 best streaming apps for gaming in 2025—what makes them great, who they're for, and how to start, Let’s jump right in.

7 best streaming apps for gaming

1. Twitch

Twitch is still the go-to for most streamers—and for good reason. With a massive audience and deep integration with gaming culture, Twitch lets gamers interact in real time, build loyal communities, and even monetize their channels through subscriptions and Bits. Its features like raids, emotes, and clip sharing make it one of the best choice if you're looking to grow fast and engage consistently.

Why It's Great:

  • Supports PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile.

  • You can grow fast if you're consistent.

  • Huge community = easier to get discovered.

2. YouTube Gaming

YouTube Gaming is a strong contender for gamers who want long-term visibility. Your streams automatically become videos, helping you build a content library. The platform also offers high-resolution streaming and reliable monetization through ads and memberships. As part of the YouTube ecosystem, it's one of the best stream apps for gaming if discoverability and content longevity are your priorities.

Why It's Great:

  • Everything is in one place—videos, shorts, streams.

  • Streamed videos stay on your channel (great for building an archive).

  • Powerful search and recommended videos bring traffic even after you go offline.

3. Facebook Gaming

Facebook Gaming makes streaming accessible to casual gamers and existing Facebook users. It’s easy to go live with just a few clicks, and you can reach friends or groups instantly. Plus, it integrates well with existing Facebook communities. If you're targeting your personal network or niche audiences, this is among the alternative stream apps for gaming with a social twist.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy to invite your friend list.

  • Built-in audience if you're active on Facebook.

  • Live chat, reactions, and share options.

4. Discord

Originally a chat platform, Discord now offers seamless game streaming inside servers. You can share your screen in high quality with minimal delay, making it perfect for private streams among friends or exclusive communities. It may not be for public broadcasting, but it’s definitely one of the best stream apps for gaming if you're prioritizing intimacy and real-time feedback.

Why It's Great:

  • No setup needed—just click “Go Live.”

  • Works well for collabs, hangouts, or coaching sessions.

  • Quality audio/video even on slower connections.

5. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a broadcasting app built on OBS but with a much more user-friendly interface. It provides overlays, donation tools, and widgets that make your stream look pro with minimal effort. Whether you're streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, this tool makes your setup smoother. For streamers who want customization, it ranks among the best stream apps for gaming.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy setup with built-in themes & overlays.

  • Supports multistreaming.

  • Integrated widgets (chat, alerts, donation).

  • Cloud sync & performance analytics

6. OBS Studio

OBS Studio is the industry standard for professional streamers. It offers full control over scenes, audio mixing, filters, and transitions. Though it has a steeper learning curve, its power is unmatched. For those who want flexibility and top-tier quality, OBS is one of the best stream apps for gaming used by esports pros and content creators alike.

Why It's Great:

  • Raw and flexible, perfect for users who want full control.

  • Open-source software for live streaming and recording.

  • Free and lightweight, but requires manual setup (overlays, plugins, etc).

7. Kick

Kick is a newer streaming platform that’s quickly gaining traction due to its creator-friendly policies and high revenue share. With a simple interface and fewer restrictions than other platforms, Kick is ideal for those who want a fresh start. It might still be growing, but it deserves a spot on any list of the best stream apps for gaming in 2025.

Why It's Great:

  • 95/5 revenue split (yes, really).

  • Simple interface, no weird algorithm stuff.

  • Chill vibe and growing fast.
