How do I zoom out of a Steam link?

Published in Steam Link Display Settings 2 mins read

To effectively "zoom out" or properly fit the Steam Link display on your screen, you need to adjust the display settings directly within the Steam Link interface. This process involves accessing the display configuration menu to ensure the transmitted image scales correctly to your TV or monitor.

Adjusting the image to fit your screen addresses situations where the picture might appear too large, cutting off edges (often called overscan), or too small with borders (underscan). The goal is to make the Steam Link's output fill your display correctly.

Here are the steps, based on the Steam Link's menu structure:

Steps to Adjust Steam Link Display Fit

Follow these straightforward steps from your Steam Link's main menu:

  1. From the Steam Link main menu, select Settings. This is typically where you manage various aspects of your Steam Link device.
  2. Next, select Display. This option specifically deals with video output, resolution, and screen fitting adjustments.
  3. Finally, Adjust the image to fit your screen. Within this section, you will find options or tools to scale the picture so it fills your display without being cut off or having excessive borders. The exact method may vary slightly depending on the Steam Link firmware version, but the goal is to match the output area to your screen's viewable area.

By following these steps, you are using the Steam Link's built-in display settings to resolve any issues with the picture size not correctly matching your display, effectively "zooming out" if the image was initially too large.
