Miracast is a technology that doubles the screen of your device (mobile, tablet, PC ...) on the TV, as if it were a remote screen (Screen Share). In this way, you can see the desktop, play your photos or watch a movie full screen.

Because it uses a Wi-Fi Direct, you can wirelessly stream  1080p video and high quality audio. Also its range of action is much larger than, for example, Bluetooth.

To enjoy the benefits of Miracast, it is necessary that the TV has  Wi-Fi connectivity , factory or via  Wi-Fi optional adapter .

What devices can I use Miracast?

  • Android phones:  many models are compatible with Miracast. If your phone is, appear in the settings menu, you will see an example later.
  • PC with Windows 7 or 8: your computer must have a chipset, graphics card and Wi-Fi adapter compatible with Intel WiDi. Follow this link to Help Portal Intel on this topic.
  • PC with Windows 8.1 or 10: comes standard on the operating system. Read this guide to learn how to use it .
  • Linux: There is an open source project called OpenWFD .
  • iOS: Unfortunately Apple does not support this technology. In its ecosystem there is the alternative airplay , but it is only compatible with their own devices.

A tip  important : to connect to Miracast, check that your TV features  HbbTV  disabled.
