If you’re working on a Windows PC and want the apps and content from another device to show on your PC screen, you’ll want to consider mirroring that device‘s screen or projecting it to your PC. Note that you’ll need a device that supports Miracast. Here’s how to mirror another screen or project to your PC:
-
Select Start > Settings > System > Projecting to this PC .
-
Under Add the “Wireless Display” optional feature to project to this PC, select Optional features.
-
Next to Add an optional feature, select View features, then enter “wireless display.”
-
Select the check box next to Wireless Display from the list of results, select Next, then select Install.
-
After “Wireless Display” is installed, select Back to manage your projecting preferences on the Projecting to this PC page in Settings.
-
On the PC you’re projecting to, launch the Wireless Display app by entering “wireless display” in the search box on the taskbar, and selecting Wireless Display in the list of results.
Note: The Wireless Display app is available on devices running Windows 11 version 22H2 and newer. If you're running an earlier version of Windows, launch the Connect app by entering "connect" in the search box on the taskbar, and selecting Connect in the list of results.
