But screen mirroring can also be a helpful addition in a corporate context. You can transfer videos or images from one screen to another with just a few clicks.

Screen mirroring or screen mirroring?

The terms used to describe the process of screen mirroring vary depending on the device used.

For example, screen mirroring is the term used when a Samsung Display is involved. For brands such as LG, Philips and Panasonic, the process is known as the term „Miracast“ , while the term „screen mirroring“ is used for Sony devices.

The function is possible with smart TVs and beamers as long as they are compatible with your smartphone operating system. Screen mirroring is theoretically possible for both Android smartphones and iPhones. However, it always depends on the model of your Smart TV, the model of your smartphone and their compatibility.

How does screen mirroring work?

For screen mirroring from a mobile device such as a smartphone or laptop to a TV display, you first need a Wi-Fi connection. You can either start screen mirroring yourself using the pre-installed functions such as Miracast, Screen Mirroring or similar, or download apps specially developed for this purpose.

Depending on which smartphone operating system you have, you can find the function as follows:

 

• Android: Click on Settings > NFC and Sharing > Screen Mirroring > Select your Smart TV
  • Samsung: It works even easier here via the Smart View function. You can usually find this option in the options bar of your smartphone.
  • iPhone: Not every iPhone is Air Play-capable. However, if yours has the option, you can simply click on the Air Play Mirroring option on the medium you want to share and then select your Smart TV for playback.
  • Laptops and tablets: With Air Play or Miracast (for Windows 10), you can also easily transfer the content of your laptop to a Smart Display. Here too, you have the option of downloading apps that support the process.

   

  Screen mirroring for the conference room

  The process of screen mirroring is not only useful when you want to share your vacation pictures or a funny YouTube video with your friends, but can also be a valuable part of the next business meeting.

  If you want to share insights or progress you've made with your entire team, screen mirroring can help. Similar to the „screen sharing“ function within video conferencing, the screen mirroring function can be useful for „in person“-conferences.
