I believe this is the Miracast feature that was common for a minute on some TVs and other devices but sort of fell by the wayside later on.
You can mirror or extend your screen from one Win10 device to another Win10 device on the same network (assuming, of course, that it's not some sort of locked down or public wifi, etc.)
Please correct me if I am wrong, as I've not used this function in probably a year or more.
- gambiting 6y agoYep, on one Windows 10 machine you need to go to Settings->Projection Settings, switch it on there, then from another Windows 10 machine you can simply press Win+P and select "connect to screen", then click on the other machine name. The only caveat is that both machines have to use Wi-Fi - it doesn't work over LAN at all. And yes, I believe it uses Miracast underneath.
- 0xffff2 6y ago>both machines have to use Wi-Fi - it doesn't work over LAN at all This has to be one of the most baffling statements I've ever read on the internet. What on Earth could the possibly be doing that this is the case? Edit: Never mind. Another comment says that it's actually a feature of certain Intel WiFi chipsets, so it's not that you have to be using WiFi in general, it's that both devices have to be using specific Intel WiFi chips that support the feature.
- soylentcola 6y agoYeah, it seems sort of silly that there's no basic feature for remote "projection" over LAN built in now that I think of it. They already have remote desktop built in, so it seems like something they could add without a ton of fuss.
