If you’re looking to connect your smartphone or tablet to a wireless projection screen, there are a few different ways to go about it. One option is to use the Connect app, which is available for both Android and iOS devices. To use the Connect app, first make sure that your device is connected to the same network as the projection screen. Once you’ve confirmed that your device and projection screen are connected, open the Connect app and select the project you want to connect to. You’ll then be prompted to enter the projector’s IP address or hostname. If you don’t have this information, you can find it on the projector’s owner’s website or by contacting them directly. Once you’ve entered the information, hit “Connect.” The app will then start scanning for available devices on the network and will show you a list of connected devices once it’s finished. Select your device from this list and hit “OK.” You’ll now be able to use all of your device’s features on the projection screen, including accessing files stored on your phone or tablet. ..
If you use Miracast to project another device’s screen to your Windows PC, you might be surprised to learn that starting with the May 2020 update, the Connect app is no longer included with Windows 10 by default. Luckily, you can still download it from Microsoft. Here’s how.
First, open Settings. To do so quickly, click the “gear” icon in your Start menu or press Windows+i on the keyboard.
In “Settings,” click “Apps.”
In “Apps & features,” click “Optional features.”
In “Optional features,” click “Add a feature,” which has a square plus (+) button beside it.
When the “Add an optional feature” window appears, scroll down until you find “Wireless Display.” Place a checkmark beside it, then click “Install.”
The Wireless Display feature includes that Connect app that was once part of Windows 10 by default.
After that, you’ll return to the “Optional features” screen and see a progress bar as “Wireless Display” downloads and installs. When it’s done, it will say “Installed.”
The Connect app is now installed. To launch and use the Connect app, open your Start menu, type “Connect,” then select the Connect app from the list.
The Connect app will open, and your Windows 10 PC will be ready to receive a remote video connection. Happy wireless projecting!
