Hello @Perezosa  Your 8yo granddaughter might enjoy playing Pikuniku. It's a side-scrolling puzzle game that supports either one or two players at the same time. In two-player mode, many of the puzzles can only be solved by both players cooperating with each other.

Hello @emig07  Seeing as how it was originally available for K&M, but they removed that option on purpose, I would be surprised to see it come back. I would have enjoyed playing it myself, since I can't seem to make a controller work for much of anything. All of that said, send feedback to the developer, since it's their decision.

Hello @SteelersYoda  After a bit of searching, the closest thing I can find to that headset appears to be something designed to work with the Xbox series S|X. If that's what you have, then although they do support Bluetooth audio, they do not appear to have an analog wired port that could be connected to a Stadia controller (and Bluetooth would only be an option if you could pair them with your TV or AV receiver).

Hey @wetsocks You'll need to disable location services completely – not just for Chrome. It scans nearby WiFi networks to determine location periodically. While it's doing that, it can't talk to your WiFi network. Disabling it only for Chrome doesn't stop this process – it just blocks Chrome from accessing the determined location.

Hello @wetsocks  This does sound like classic location services, so I would try disabling that first as @AndroiFy suggested. But, it could also be caused by Airdrop. That would show up any time someone unlocks their iPhone or iPad (or other Mac) on the network. So, if disabling Location service on your laptop doesn't help, try disabling Airdrop as well (better yet, connect via Ethernet instead of WiFi).

Do you mean "One Hand Clapping"? I believe that works with the Stadia controller, but only by connecting a wired headset (with microphone) to the headset jack on the controller or possibly by connecting a wireless USB adapter to the USB type C port on the controller. It looks like your headphones support a wired (stereo) connection to the 3.5mm analog port on the controller, so you may just give that a try. If that works, you may also then try connecting the wireless adapter from your headphones to the controller's USB C port (you may need another adapter to get from USB C to USB type A that your wireless adapter may require). That may also work, but would be limited to stereo.

Hello @Mr_Covington  Is this only happening with the Red Dead Redemption 2 game, or does it also happen for other games (assuming all other conditions are equal)? If it happens for all games, are you using the Stadia controller? If so, is it connected to your WiFi at 5GHz? If so, are your wireless headphones "gaming" style surround sound headphones with their own transmitter? If so, these often use a chunk of the 5GHz spectrum in a way that can interfere with 5GHz WiFi (and vice versa). If, on the other hand, your Stadia controller is connecting to WiFi at 2.4GHz, and your headphones are Bluetooth (which runs in the 2.4GHz band), you may be seeing interference there as well.

Hello @TwoDogs  Stadia does increase data usage. Here's a support page with some details: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9607891?hl=en  The most important bit is this table: Resolution Data usage Up to 4K   (Stadia Pro only) Up to 20 GB/hr Up to 1080p Up to 12.6 GB/hr Up to 720p Up to 4.5 GB/hr   As you can see, it's possible to limit your data usage by reducing the resolution of the game you're playing. That page includes instructions for how to adjust this.

On iOS, the white icon with red "S" is the Stadia app used to set up controllers and access the store. The red icon with white "S" is the installable web app that's used to actually play games on the iPhone or iPad. I ended up deleting it and recreating it so I could rename that one "Stadia Play" to make it easier to differentiate.
Hello @S4ngue  Google hasn't announced availability for any new regions, but I know Brazil has a strong gaming community, so it would make a great place for Stadia.

Hello @Dr_Pepino  It looks like some WebOS-based LG TVs have (or will soon get) support for Stadia eventually: https://www.lgnewsroom.com/2021/01/lg-smart-tvs-to-get-stadia-cloud-gaming-in-2021/  Other TVs with Android TV may support Stadia at some point in the future, but I have not seen any official announcements about that at this time.

Hello @Johanaza  Using Ethernet for the Chromecast Ultra is always recommended. However, when using a Chromecast Ultra, the Stadia controller can only be played through WiFi. It doesn't need fantastic WiFi, since it only needs to be good enough to send the controller inputs reliably. But, it still needs to be available and reliable. The only suggestion I have is to pick up an inexpensive WiFi access point (if you use a router, make sure it's in bridge mode) and connect it to the same Ethernet that your Chromecast is connected to, then configure your Stadia controller to use that access point's WiFi. Essentially, you'd have a dedicated WiFi connection for your Stadia controller right where you want it to be (near the Chromecast Ultra).

Hello @jackkay93  This kind of thing can be challenging to diagnose. But, I have a few thoughts that may help. First, the download benchmark – as long as it's enough – isn't as important as having a stable connection. Being on 5GHz is better than being on 2.4GHz, but being on Ethernet would be better still. Is there any way you can try that, even temporarily to see if it might be the issue? Do you have anything that could be interfering? Things like wireless audio systems (surround sound speakers, a subwoofer, or a gaming headset). Do you have a feel for how close any neighbors might be that could be on the same channel? Is anyone else in your household using the internet for video streaming (e.g., YouTube, Netflix, etc.)? Is this on a TV with a Chromecast Ultra, a computer, or a phone? If it's on a computer, is there a chance something is running in the background? Basically, there are a few things that can cause this, so we need to know more about the environment and what may have changed recently.

Hello @Maddog  I want my jetpack, too! Seriously, though, Google did try putting out a roadmap schedule at one point last year. Then COVID-19 hit hard, and those dates ended up getting missed, and the community raked them over the coals for it. So, more recently (e.g., in this interview with John Justice: https://youtu.be/MnMDA_FBugU ) they've stated their new approach is to develop new features more quietly and then announce them when they're essentially done and ready to use. So, as much as I'd love to hear more about what they're working on, it looks like we'll continue to see new developments drop with little warning. That can be fun, too! Just a note on VR, though – that is going to be challenging. It's much more sensitive to latency. There are potential solutions to that problem that involve rendering a larger area and using local hardware to pan around within it, but that will require more work on the client, and it doesn't solve all of the problems. So, while I expect they are working on this, I would not hazard a guess as to when we might see it.
So, "Buddy Passes" aren't really a thing any longer. However, there are referrals, which would give you two free months of Stadia Pro instead of only the usual one free month.

Hello @Kardek  As far as I can tell, the 750 TI does not support hardware VP9 decoding, which would be required for 1440p streaming on Stadia. Here's the page I used to research this: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new   That page should also show which Nvidia GPUs do support VP9 decoding.

Hello @Edalyn  Have you already spent your $10 coupon? If not, then the combination of Doom 2016 being on sale for $9.99 plus your $10 coupon would cover the entire cost.

Hello @Jorgea110920  The answer is a resounding "maybe". Many people have done that successfully, but it depends on so many things working well that there aren't any guarantees at this point. Take a look at this page for more: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9609786  Just a note – on that page, it may use the term "LTE", but that is, for all practical purposes, just another word for "4G".
