Use WiDi: Wireless Screen Mirroring for Windows
Do you want to get rid of cables and easily mirror your Windows computer to a large display? Just enable the WiDi function in this software. It’s built on the native Windows protocol and doesn’t require any extra plugins. It enables a wireless connection between your computer and a meeting screen, projector, or smart board with a single tap. Covering scenarios like office presentations, educational demonstrations, and design discussions, it makes mirroring from a Windows device more efficient and stable.
2 Quick Steps for a Seamless Experience
The process is easy with no learning curve and perfectly matches the way you use Windows:
- Enable the Receiving Function: Connect your Windows computer (laptop or desktop) and your large display to the same Wi-Fi. Open the mirroring software on your large display, and it will automatically enable the WiDi receiving module. The large display will show a unique name (e.g., “Conference Room – WiDi Screen” or “Classroom 302 – Projector”).
- Native Connection: Click “Start” -> “Settings” -> “System” -> “Project.” Then select “Connect to a wireless display.” The software will automatically recognize and list the available large displays. Select your device, and the connection will be complete in 1–2 seconds. Your computer screen will be synchronized in real time, and the operation is a seamless extension of the native Windows function.
Key Advantages: A More Flexible and Reliable Experience
Native Compatibility, Universal Device Coverage
- Flawless System Compatibility: It supports all versions of Windows 8.1 and above, covering all mainstream computer brands like Lenovo, HP, Dell, Huawei, and ASUS. It’s compatible with both old office computers and new laptops, with a compatibility rate of over 95%.
- Zero Learning Curve: It uses the same native Windows “Project” entrance. Users who are used to the system’s mirroring don’t have to re-learn, and new users can get the hang of it after one use. Businesses and schools can deploy it in large batches with no trouble.
High-Definition and Stable for Professional Use
- Ultra-HD Output: It supports 1080p Full HD mirroring, and a high-performance computer can achieve 4K Ultra HD output. The line details of an engineering drawing, the color gradients of a design draft, and the small text in a data report are all crisp and clear, keeping the content true to its original form.
- Low Latency: It uses WiDi protocol optimization technology, so latency is as low as 15ms. Flipping through a PPT, dragging a document, or playing a video feels smooth with no lagging. The audio and video are perfectly synced, avoiding the awkwardness of “stalling during a presentation” or “the screen being a step behind.”
- Universal Format Compatibility: Whether it’s an office document like a PPT, Excel, or PDF, a design file like a PSD or CAD, or a video file like an MP4 or MOV, you can mirror it directly with no need to convert formats. Playback is smooth with no lagging, so it’s a great fit for a wide range of presentations.
For All Scenarios: A Practical WiDi Experience
For Office Meetings: More Professional Collaboration
- Extended Screen for Efficiency: You can set the large display as your second screen. This allows you to show a proposal’s outline on the large display while you edit data or look up information in the background on your computer. This boosts multitasking efficiency by 30%. During a presentation, you can freely switch between “Duplicate,” “Extend,” and “Second Screen Only” modes. With “Second Screen Only” mode, your computer’s screen will go blank, which protects your privacy and helps you focus on your presentation.
- Seamless Multi-Device Switching: During a team meeting, multiple Windows computers can take turns mirroring with WiDi. There’s no need to plug and unplug cables. After one person disconnects, the next can connect in 1 second, so the meeting isn’t interrupted.
- Precise Design Discussions: A designer can mirror a CAD drawing or a 3D model from a Windows computer to a large display. You can zoom in on specific details (e.g., a product’s port or a structural line) so the team can have an in-depth discussion about the key points and avoid the hassle of having to “huddle over a small screen to see the details.”
For Educational Presentations: More Engaging
- Flexible Lesson Displays: A teacher can mirror a lesson or a lab video from a Windows computer to a smart board. They can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly pause and jump to a specific part of the video and use an external writing tablet to draw and annotate. The annotations will be synchronized to both the computer and the large display, making key points clear at a glance.
- Seamless Material Switching: A teacher can have multiple lesson documents and videos open on their computer in advance. When mirroring, they can use the software’s “Quick Switch” function to change the content with a single tap, with no need to repeatedly minimize windows. This keeps the class on track.
- Boosted Student Participation: A student can mirror their homework or a problem-solving process from a Windows laptop for the whole class to critique. This boosts classroom participation and moves away from a “one-way” teaching style.
For Impromptu Scenarios: No-Fuss Mirroring
- Outdoor Discussions: For outdoor scenarios with no fixed network, like a construction site or a field study, a Windows computer can create a temporary hotspot with the software. The large display can connect to the hotspot to enable WiDi mirroring, so you can give on-site explanations without relying on an external network.
- Emergency Equipment Failure: If a wired projector in a meeting room suddenly breaks, a Windows computer can quickly switch to WiDi mirroring to resume the presentation within 1 minute, preventing the meeting from being interrupted and ensuring that important events go smoothly.
Simple Management for Businesses and Schools
- Efficient Batch Deployment: An administrator can push the software installer in bulk over a local network and set uniform WiDi mirroring permissions (e.g., only allowing computers from a specific department or class to mirror). This makes deployment highly efficient, with no need for a manual install on each device.
- Trackable Mirroring History: The backend automatically records information like the devices, times, durations, and content types of mirroring sessions, which makes it easy to track usage for more standardized management.
- Low Maintenance: The software automatically updates regularly to adapt to Windows system updates, ensuring that the WiDi function remains stable on new system versions without manual adjustments. This keeps operational costs low for businesses and schools.
Whether you’re a heavy Windows user or are part of a business or school, enabling the WiDi function in this software gives you the convenience and stability of native compatibility, making it easy to achieve a wireless connection between your Windows device and a large display and boosting the efficiency of any scenario.
