Make Sure You Have a Solid Internet Connection

The main thing about Stadia is that it lets gamers buy games on its platform and stream them using the app, making almost any console or PC game available for the player’s preferred screen.

Whether you are using it on your TV, computer, or mobile device, you need to keep in mind that streaming requires bandwidth. For Stadia, the recommended minimum requirement is 10 megabits per second

As with anything with the Internet, it is mostly better to have a fast and stable Internet connection. To ensure that your gaming experience will be hassle-free and enjoyable, the first thing you need to do is to get a good Internet connection.

Tinker with the Settings

If you are confident about your connection, you now need to set up your app in order to get the best streaming performance out of it. On the app, go to the Performance menu under Settings. This is accessible via the avatar for mobile and stadia Settings on desktop. 

For a higher resolution, adjust the resolution setting to achieve high definition graphics. However, remember that higher resolution can result in higher power consumption and lower frame rates, and vice versa.

The best way to go is to set it in the middle to get great graphics and frame rates. Again, your connection plays a role in providing good graphics. If you have the option, go for Ethernet connection instead of wireless

Customize the Controls

For PC gaming, one of the best things is the ability to map your controls and bind inputs to buttons. This is important especially if you are using a keyboard or a universal gamepad controller. The good thing is that Stadia also allows you to do this.

However, it is important to note that configurations vary depending on the game, so it is up to the player to explore the control mapping of each game they want to play.

The best tip to offer is for gamers to configure the controls according to their play styles. They may be used to certain mappings from one device to another, and applying such mappings to the game on Stadia can help them perform in the game optimally. 

Use the Chrome Browser

The thing about Stadia is it is still in constant development. So, while it is available on many platforms such as TVs, mobile devices, and PCs, it is important to remember that it is yet to be compatible with all brands and models.

For gamers whose phones and TVs are yet to be compatible with Stadia, one option is to use Google Chrome. This browser has Stadia+ Extension that provides more features compared to the base app.

It is more convenient compared to installing the program on your PC as it lets people access different configuration options for a better experience. 

Make the Most Out of the Service

Google has developed a wide variety of technology to go with Stadia, the most useful being the official Stadia controller. It comes with all the useful interfaces complete with the Google Assistant button for easy integration. 

Moreover, this platform has a video Capture feature, so you can share your gaming adventures with your friends and family.
