PS5 Remote Play app pops up on PS4 Streamy windows.

The options let you switch between 540p, 720p standard and 1080p streaming. To use Remote Play, you have to enable it on the PS5 you're connecting to first. To do that, on your PS5, go to Settings, System, Remote Play, and turn on Enable Remote Play.
