Project My Screen feature

[Marlon Bu]

Love it! Ctrl+Alt+P, Right Arrow, then E is awesome for watching videos.
I just wish I could get Netflix to stream. I have unlimited data on my phone, but don't always have Wi-Fi for my laptop. It would be amazing to put it on my large screen!

You could just share WIFI from your Windows Phone.

Except I have unlimited data but with no tethering allowed. This is a workaround that T Mobile wouldn't care about.

Works on my Lumia 520, but i can't control it with mouse. Just a projection. Pretty cool, nonetheless

Miracast wireless would be exclusive to new hardware (sd 800 or above )
Others can use USB cable for the same :smile: I am waiting for wpcentral to show this feature in action.

That means the 1520 supports wireless? (Since it has a SnapDragon 800)

Just connected my phone to my TV and it said USB device not supported, I've got an LG 42LN540V, my monitor doesn't have a USB input so I'll try on a monitor in work tomorrow

Of ourse it won't work with just a TV or monitor. It requires a PC running the progam as stated in numerous posts.

Works great on my HTC 8X

What app do you guys use to record or capture once the screen is projected?

Since I have na nvidia card, I can use shadow play with desktop record on
I would like to help you, but I dont know a good desktop recorder.

Correct! Same for Lumia 920, I need wifi miracast(/screen mirroring/wifi direct). How Samsung S4 have this software and L920 with same hardware can't use?!? MS must take care for investors. MS respect as, pls.

Is the mouse control only supported by certain models?

I don't think so. But I've had some problem displaying the mouse at first (it still worked but was invisible). If the mouse doesn't appear hit the F key a couple of times. It will toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes and at some point the mouse should appear in fullscreen mode. It's inconsistent for now. They'll probably fix it in the future.

Awesome. I am able to project now. Not only projecting, I can also control my phone from my PC using my mouse. Not able to type into phone using PC key board though.

I can project my screen, but I can not interact with it using my mouse. Is that because I am using Windows 7?

Read my message just before yours. It might have a solution for your mouse problem.

When connected the display on the screen lags a bit while scrolling and in general.........is this normal? Using Lumia 620 and Windows 8.1 update 1 PC.

It works great on my 920.

You need to download an app for your windows pc

 

[psgenious]

its awesome .
i can control my phone from pc.

The feature works as advertised for my Icon and Asus transformer, but when I exit the app my Widows Desktop is hosed . Only a pc reboot fixes it. I'm sure it's a pc issue, not phone.

 

[bssnik]

didnt work for me after reinstall and reboot

 

[Daniel Ratcliffe]

So I finally got it working... partially. I can stream video just fine. Perfectly actually. Just there's no audio coming through at all. But that's a separate issue that I've made a separate thread for.

 

[AnkitV]

Lots of things. One I can see is playing mobile games on a larger screen. Another is for game reviewers to video their game, or people to Twitch stream their gameplay.

Ultimately, now the feature is there I'm sure many people will find interesting ways of using it.

Would love to know what else all people are doing with it!! I don't have front cam on my 520 and it is handy to say the least!!

Wow. Would just like to say that after downloading the .msi from Microsoft and installing it, I connected my phone (HTC 8X) and it worked first time, flawlessly. Very impressed overall. Adds a totally new dimension to screen scraping.
