Remote Media Streaming
If you’re like most people, your home PC is the central place where you store and enjoy your photo,
music, and video collections. But you probably also often take your laptop to other locations such as
hotels, airports, or coffee shops.
Windows 7 offers Remote Media Streaming, which allows you to access your home-based digital media
Libraries over the Internet from another PC running Windows 7 outside the home. Just associate two or
more PCs running Windows 7 with your online ID provider credentials (such as your Windows Live e-mail
address and password) and allow Internet access to your media. Windows Media Player displays and
plays the media Libraries from
remote PCs the same way it does
for those on a home network. You
can even stream content from
any other PC in your homegroup
that has enabled Remote Media
Streaming.
Note: Corporate networks often block
home media streaming, so accessing
media libraries from other PCs over the
Internet may not be possible.
