AirPlay Screen Mirroring Receiver

Mirroring your screen to a secondary display can be of use in numerous cases, primarily when you want to consume content in a larger format. Everyone knows about AirPlay and what it can do, but not all devices happen to support Apple's screen mirroring protocol, which can be a bit of a bummer.

If you're looking to mirror your iOS device's screen to your computer, some pieces of software can make that possible for you, despite AirPlay not being officially supported there. AirPlay Screen Mirroring Receiver stays true to its name, offering users the possibility of using their computers as receivers for the screen mirroring process.

Setting up the tool takes no work at all, as users will merely have to wait a few seconds for the receiver to successfully initiate. You can set a name of your choice for the receiver, so that your computer can be more recognizable. After that, make sure both devices are connected to the same network, then go ahead and look through the AirPlay menu on your mobile device.

Opening the AirPlay menu on your iOS device will reveal the new receiver: your computer. The connection establishes in just a few seconds, allowing you to freely consume content on a larger display. Whether using an iPhone, iPad, and seemingly even a Mac, the tool should do the job just fine.

As with how AirPlay operates, the experience is only as smooth as your internet connection allows. The software seems to do its part to ensure an intuitive mirroring process, but your connection also has to be up to the task to handle the transmission.

While testing on a stable connection, the experience was very smooth and free of any issues, so no problems there at all. It was much like mirroring to a genuine AirPlay-supported display, which was nice to see.

AirPlay Screen Mirroring Receiver does well to provide users with a reliable way to mirror the screens of their iOS devices to their computers.
