In daily office work and meeting presentations,
computer screen mirroring has become an essential skill to boost efficiency. Whether you need to show PPTs to colleagues or project design drafts on a large screen for discussion, mastering the correct computer mirroring methods is crucial. This article details four mainstream computer screen mirroring solutions to help you easily handle various scenarios.
Use an HDMI or VGA cable to directly connect your computer to a monitor, projector, or TV. This is the most traditional method with the lowest latency and highest stability.
For modern thin and light laptops (with only one Type-C port), a docking station is required to convert to HDMI and other interfaces. When choosing a docking station, pay attention to the supported video protocols and resolution.
Windows 10/11 comes with a built-in “Wireless Display” feature. Press the Win + K shortcut to search for and connect to TVs, projectors, or wireless mirroring adapters that support the Miracast protocol.
Via the AirPlay feature, you can easily mirror your screen to an Apple TV or smart TV that supports AirPlay 2. Click “Control Center” > “Screen Mirroring” in the menu bar to operate.
Install third-party software such as Lebo Cast or ApowerMirror to break through protocol limitations and cast your computer screen to more brands of TVs or set-top boxes.
Professional wireless computer mirroring adapters (e.g., BenQ InstaShow, MaxHUB Meeting Box) are plug-and-play via USB, requiring no driver installation and compatible with all systems. With one click, you can stably and securely project your computer screen to the meeting large screen—they are standard equipment in enterprise meeting rooms.
Through dedicated software (e.g., TeamViewer, Sunflower’s “Remote Mirroring” feature) or cloud meeting platforms (e.g., Tencent Meeting, Zoom’s “Share Screen”), you can real-time share your computer desktop with remote participants via the network. This is a core function for remote collaboration and online training.
The choice of computer mirroring method depends on your devices, network environment, and specific needs:
- Choose wired mirroring for ultimate stability.
- Use wireless mirroring for daily convenient sharing.
- Equip professional hardware for efficient enterprise meetings.
- Rely on network mirroring for remote collaboration.
Mastering these four methods will make you a true screen sharing expert.
