Windows Device Requirements
PLAYERLYNC FOR WINDOWS
As of March 2023, we no longer actively support using the PlayerLync application on Microsoft Windows devices. While the application may continue to work for a period of time, customer support and active development of PlayerLync for Windows is no longer supported.
NOTES:
- Microsoft Windows will operate on thousands of different devices with varying capabilities. Some low-cost Windows devices may not offer an optimal experience with PlayerLync.
- Microsoft controls the OS updates to maintain the best experience for the hardware. PlayerLync was tested and optimized for the most current OS at the time of this article (Windows 11).
- This only applies to the end-user PlayerLync application. PlayerLync server software still runs and is supported on Microsoft Windows Servers.
