Project My Screen feature

[ceraf]

Not sure if this was already posted, but has anyone gotten the chance to try or see the new Project My Screen feature in action? I'm particularly interested in seeing Miracast wireless display.

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.

how does this one work?

 

[rabilancia]

Anyone know what is needed on the PC side when running "Project my Screen" over a USB cable?

TIA,
Rich

 

[Dragone]

that's what I'd like to know too

Miracastmdor them1520 & Icon will come after the Nokia Cyan update this summer. Belfiore tweeted about this: https://twitter.com/joebelfiore/status/452958013154811904

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

I plugged my phone (via USB) into various things around my house and have had no luck. Anyone figure it out?

Hooking it up to Windows 8.1 doesn't do much either.

I would think you would need to use a USB to HDMI adapter. What kinda display supports USB as an input mode?

 

[Ravi Ramgoolam]

From what I have read, they have yet to release an app for your desktop that would allow the connect via USB.

Very disappointed with whoever decided existing phones won't support miracast.

The wifi direct module in the 820 and many other WP8 phones is capable of miracast- don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I know of nothing that can actually use wifi direct on WP8 though, so many WP8 phones have an unused bit of hardware sitting in there....

Seriously. I feel like a Lumia 900 owner right now not getting Miracast.
Well, on a much smaller scale.

At least there was a valid excuse for that though- there's absolutely nothing to justify leaving out miracast here.

So what's the point of this feature?

Hi, I just try connect my Lumia 620 via USB to PC with Win 7 Ultimate and other PC with Win 8.1 Update and Project Screen doesn?t work. Nothing displaying at phone, nothing in PC monitor. Drivers seems to be good, I can see my phone in my devices...Any ideas...???

Maybe we will be in for a surprise when Nokia Cyan comes out?

 

[t8ntlikly]

why not just use Nokia Beamer app? works perfectly

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.
