Mobile screen projection – can mobile phones project? Six projection methods for you
Mobile phone projection refers to displaying the content on a mobile phone to another large screen device, such as a TV or projector.
For mobile phones, many smartphones support wireless screen mirroring function. You can connect your phone to a large screen device (such as a smart TV) via Wi Fi and turn on the “Wireless Display” or “Mirror Display” options in the settings. Then, select the corresponding input source on the large screen device to see the content on the phone.
In addition, there are some software tools (such as AirPlay, Chromecast, etc.) that can help achieve wireless screen mirroring operations. When performing screen mirroring on both mobile phones and computers, please ensure that the devices are in the same network environment and that they are all successfully connected.
