Steam shortcut codes for Activision's non-Blizzard game titles, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as well as all of Blizzard's Battlenet launcher games – including StarCraft Remastered, World of Warcraft Classic and Warcraft III: Reforged are listed following the Battlenet Game Shortcut Codes section.įor this guide, I will be using StarCraft to demonstrate:

When I stumbled upon this process (which I modified from another YouTube video suggestion), I was shocked by how deceptively easy it was. I also wanted to share this with others who were also frustrated by suggested methods that were tedious, outdated or simply did not work.

This guide is sort of an updated companion of my YouTube tutorial because I wanted to take screenshots from my favorite Blizzard games and play on my TV using the Steam Link.
