What the installer does

Windows

  • Delivered as an NSIS (Nullsoft) setup program (.exe) for x64.
  • Offers both a per-user and an all-users installer.
  • Must be run with administrator rights.
  • Supports unattended install with /silent /norun /nocleanuser.
  • Shows up in Windows “Installed apps” as “Parsec”.
  • The manifest blocks in-place upgrades through winget.

macOS

  • Delivered as a macOS installer package (.pkg) for Apple silicon and Intel.
  • Runs the installer package parsec-macos.pkg; package installers usually ask for an administrator password and can place files anywhere on the system.
  • On uninstall, Homebrew asks the app to quit and forgets installer package receipts.
  • A full “zap” removal also deletes up to 4 support, cache and preference locations in your home folder.
  • The cask does not pin a checksum for this download (an unversioned URL), so the file can change without notice.

Overview

Parsec is a proprietary freeware desktop capturing application primarily used for playing games through video streaming.

Using Parsec, a user can stream video game footage through an Internet connection, allowing one to run a game on one computer but play it remotely through another device.

Although its main focus is gaming, Parsec can also be used as low-latency desktop sharing software.
