Windows 10 Media Edition

Almost every device you connect to your TV (e.g., Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Roku, Chromecast, or an Apple TV) includes DLNA support to stream media over the network. That’s of course, as long as you also configure the device storing the content as a DLNA server.

DLNA stands for “Digital Living Network Alliance”, and it’s simply a set of guidelines that makes it easy to set up a device to stream videos, photos, and music with other DLNA supported devices on the network.

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to turn on the media streaming feature on Windows 10 to send your music, pictures, and videos other devices in your network.

How to enable media streaming on Windows 10

On Windows 10, Microsoft hasn’t migrated its DLNA-compliant feature to the Settings app, as such you’ll need to use Control Panel.

To turn on media streaming, do the following:

  1. Open Start.

  2. Search for “Media Streaming Options” and click the result to open Control Panel on that section.

  3. Click the Turn on media streaming button to enable DLNA on Windows 10.

  4. Click OK to apply the settings and complete the task.

You’ll also notice that after turning on media streaming, you have a number of available options, including the ability to enter a custom name for your library to identify the content being accessed.

“Show devices on” is set by default to “Local Network”, which you don’t want to modify unless there is a good reason.

Then you’ll also see a list of the DLNA-enabled devices currently on the network with access to your content. However, you can always uncheck the Allowed option to block the device.

Keep in mind that content won’t be available to other device, when your PC is sleeping. If you want to change this behaviour, you need to click the “Choose power options” link and configure your PC to stay awake.

Once you completed the steps, your account libraries (Music, Pictures, and Videos) will automatically become available to any streaming device to access your media.

There are a number of other options, but for the most part you won’t need to configure anything else, as all the default settings are good enough.

Wrapping things up

Although Windows 10 doesn’t include any DLNA references for its media streaming feature, it actually meets all the requirements to be a DLNA media server.

It’s also worth pointing out that even though most of the time you won’t have any issues streaming content, every device has its limitation on supported content. Always make sure to check your device manufacturer’s support website for file formats and supported codecs.

While this guide is mainly focus on Windows 10, you can enable media streaming on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, too.
