Streaming Apex Legends to a Switch (spoiler: didn't happen)

Bored as usual and enjoying the Switch’s diverse library of titles (or lack thereof, depending on how you look at it) I was playing Apex Legends for the 2nd time since it released, and I realized that I just didn’t wanna sit in a chair staring at a monitor. That’s not what video games are supposed to be about, they’re about having fun and not fatiguing yourself. I really enjoy the Switch because it’s a super ergonomic console that you can take anywhere, but really any console would work. I just couldn’t do with the mouse and keyboard routine, and decided to shake things up. I really hoped that Apex Legends would release on the Switch, however it just wasn’t meant to be. Then I remembered that stupid ad which showed someone playing their PC games on a Switch on the go, just to attract attention when everybody knew Nintendo would never let an app like that onto their system. I looked it up and saw the name: Rainway. I remember seeing people streaming the Witcher 3 to their Switch before so I decided to test it out myself. I installed the program and launched it, launched Apex and did the web browser trick. When I visited the website to access it though, I was met with a black screen. After reloading several times, clearing cache and doing everything else I could think of, it was just not working. I'd assume that this issue would have occurred before too, which is why I'm literally dying trying to find out how the dude was streaming the Witcher.

As of now, I still haven't gotten it to work. If anybody knows how to make this thing work, could you let me know?

@the_randomizer I think if your connection on both ends is 50mbps+ then you get a 1080p60fps stream. There was no lag testing it on a laptop, however on a Switch I'd imagine the weaker WiFi adapter would have some issues.
