    Does the dock need to have power pass through or is there a dedicated charging port?

    And can it be used like a steam link to stream from a desktop on the same network at higher resolutions?

      The dock/hub should have power pass through. Both my inexpensive Amazon hub and my Jsaux hub have this though. There is only the one USB C port.

      You can use Steam Link, but I’ve never done so. My desktops are old and/or low spec, so I’ve never bothered.

      The other comment answered your power question so I’ll skip it.

      Steam link works. It wasn’t great over wireless for me but others have had success. I’ve got my house wired in every room.
