Recently I ran into 5K Player via an unrelated recommendation for a media player. Sadly I've gone through many, many different and shady tools that have come and gone over that timeframe. I've been looking for a decent mirroring solution on Windows for years. So when I ran into 5KPlayer, which is what I use in this post, I was excited to see it and try it out.

Many TVs, and various TV boxes like a Roku support AirPlay so you can cast content from an Apple Device to your TV.ĪirPlay is proprietary, but it's a fairly well known protocol and widely used, yet there aren't a lot of Windows implementations of it. And surprisingly there also haven't been a lot of third party solutions available to provide AirPlay services on Windows either.ĪirPlay is Apple's screen casting technology that's meant to project iOS device screen content or application output to some other display device like a TV or set top box. On a Mac AirPlay is built in and works in the default media player, so screen mirroring just works - not surprising on Apple's native platform. You can't access the phone directly and screen mirroring is not a thing. iOS Screen Mirroring on Windows: Harder than it should beĪpple being Apple and always poking a stick into competitors' eyes, they don't make it easy to access iOS features from Windows. The same thing applies in a live presentation where attendees can't see your phone screen, and need the projected device screen to see what's happening. The screen mirroring allowed me to show the interaction between the development editor and my iPhone mobile device.

In that post I showed how to use WebPack development Web server in Angular to live reload content directly on an iOS device and I used the Windows screen mirroring to capture the updates as part of a short screencast to demonstrate the feature: For me that's usually for a screen capture or potentially for a presentation of some sort.įor example here's a screencast capture in the aforementioned blog post. If you're doing Mobile Web development on Windows, it's probably not uncommon to run into a scenario where you need to display the content of the mobile device screen.
So here's a short post that talks about the tool I'm using and how to set it up: After my last post about using Angular Live Reload on a Mobile Device, several people asked me what I was using for displaying my phone screen on my Windows machine.
