Arcade Link
Arcade Link is our free desktop client for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It connects to your Arcade-Verse account and gives you one-click streaming and optional local ROM support.
Go to downloads → link.arcade-verse.comIf your computer is strong enough, the client supports streaming to multiple targets at once (e.g. Arcade-Verse and YouTube). Quality and stability depend on your CPU, GPU, and upload bandwidth — we recommend a solid connection and a capable machine for multi-target streaming.
What happens when streaming stays complicated?
- You waste hours on setup and encoder tweaks instead of playing or streaming.
- Viewers leave when the stream drops, buffers, or never starts.
- You miss going live because scene settings break or the stream key is wrong.
- The fun of sharing your gameplay gets lost in tech headaches and troubleshooting.
Arcade Link vs OBS (traditional setup)
| Arcade Link | OBS (traditional setup) |
|---|---|
| Arcade Link or browser: one-click streaming, ez setup | Install and configure OBS (or similar), then set up scenes and encoders |
| Stream key and playback URL in one place; go live in minutes | Find stream key in one app, paste into another; multiple windows to manage |
| Browser streaming with ez setup — no separate encoder app | Run game, OBS, and streaming dashboard separately |
| Arcade Link desktop client for multi-target streaming | Manual multistream setup and extra third-party tools |
Quality constraints: encoding and network limits apply. For the best experience, use a stable connection and avoid overloading your system with too many simultaneous targets. Download the latest build from the button above.
