Windows 7 for You: Makes New Things Possible

Media the Way You Want It

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.

Associate two Windows 7 PCs and allow Internet Access to use Remote Media Streaming.
