Screen mirroring lets you display your Android phone’s screen on your Windows 11 PC—ideal for presentations, gaming, media sharing, or controlling your phone on a bigger display. Windows 11 includes built-in features like Wireless Display, and Android offers native casting options, making the process simple and seamless.
What You Can Do With Screen Mirroring:
- Mirror your Android interface on a larger Windows 11 display
- Control your phone directly from your PC (supported devices)
- Share videos, photos, apps, and games wirelessly
- Use built-in Windows features or third-party apps for mirroring
- Choose between Wi-Fi and cable-based methods based on your needs
