You may need to hold the buttons while pairing to make sure it connects properly. To add PS4 to your Mac press and hold PS4 and Share button (for discovery), while you are in your Mac’s bluetooth preferences. For this example, I have setup PS4 controller. At least for now, until that works your Mac has to be within bluetooth range somewhere close.
This step is not a perfect setup though, because I was able to connect the controller to both TV and Mac, but not to steam link through TV. Next, you will need to setup your gaming controller.After restarting steam if you end up in loop of re-installing AmbroisaAudioSupport driver, you will need to make sure Security & Privacy (General) allowed (could be multiple times) this software. AmbrosiaAudioSupport software requires the firewall option. If you go to About this Mac -> Overview -> System Report -> Network -> Firewall, you should see allowed for all connections. Go to Security & Privacy (General) option in your Mac and Allow the app. During the installation of the drivers your computer could complain about security and privacy warning.Since I have not tried other methods to connect the TV and Mac, I don’t know what else works for this step. If you have HDMI cable connected to your TV, you can connect other end to your Mac (for newer Mac laptops you will need USB-3 to HDMI adapter) and steam should start the installation of necessary drivers. To install additional drivers you may need to connect your TV with your Mac while steam app is opened.If it errors out by saying you will need additional drivers in your mac, following steps should fix that. Try clicking the computer name in your Samsung TV’s steam link app. If your computer and your TV are in the same network your Mac username should show up in Steam Link app’s menu in your TV.The installation may require couple of restarts, please do so. Also, make sure if the app installation prompts for Security and Privacy for any options during installation, make sure to press Allow at the bottom of Mac’s Security & Privacy settings. If steam tries to install some drives, let it do so. Even if you have to enable it during this step, make sure to remove it for next step. Make sure you don’t set any pin code for steam link. In the Advanced Host Options you can enable Enable hardware encoding (all three options) and Dynamically adjust capture resolution. Open steam and go to Preferences -> In-Home Streaming and check “Enable streaming”.Install Steam Link app in your Samsung TV (search the app in the application store).You will need to adjust the setup if you have different devices and OS. In this guide, I use Mac OS, PS4 controller, HDMI cable and HDMI to USB-C connector.
In this guide I will try to provide necessary steps and some debugging tips to setup Steam Link app and Steam.
