Smartphones are incredibly convenient, but it can be challenging to manage both your phone and PC simultaneously. Luckily, Windows offers a solution that allows you to mirror your phone’s display on your computer monitor. This way, you can focus on just one screen. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
First, you need to activate wireless display on your Windows computer. To do this, open the search bar by clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the taskbar. Then, type “optional features” into the search field and select the matching option to open the Settings app. Click on the “View features” button in the top right corner.
Next, check the box next to “Wireless display” and follow the prompts to install the required feature. Once that’s done, open the “Connect to a wireless display” application. You can search for this app using the Windows search function. In the Settings app, click on the “Connect” button next to “Connect to a wireless screen.”
If you don’t see this option, make sure your PC and smartphone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Now, switch to your Android device and open the quick access bar by swiping down from the top of the screen. Look for the option to mirror the display, which might be named differently depending on your device. It could be called “Transfer,” “Smartview,” “Screen Mirroring,” or something similar.
If you can’t find this option in the quick access bar, check the settings under “Display.” Once you’ve activated the mirroring function on your phone, your Windows PC should appear in the list of available devices. Select it to establish a connection, and you’ll see your phone’s screen on your PC monitor. An icon in the status bar will indicate that the screen is being mirrored.
By following these steps, you can easily mirror your smartphone display on your PC monitor using Windows. This feature can be incredibly useful for multitasking and streamlining your workflow. Give it a try and enjoy the convenience of having everything on one screen.
