Windows Phone Screen Sharing/Mirroring to PC

Being mobile developer and strong follower of Mobile related technologies, always admire to  demonstrate my work to my friends and colleagues.  All this time I was fancy about iOS Mirroring provided through apps Reflector and Air Server.   With help of these tools we used to mirror our iPad/iPhone to be mirrored to a Windows/Mac and then project that to large screen using a Projector. These tools seamlessly mirror your activities on iPad/iPhone and audiences get a live view of the application running in a Live Phone.  Advantage is you donā€™t have to rely on iOS Simulators coming with XCode and iOS SDK alone to demo your applications.

Coming to Windows Phone, we can have the same through a Wired Connection. Probably in recent Microsoft demos you might have fancied how the presenters used to share their Windows Phone activities and features from their live phones. You donā€™t have to envy them, it is available for our use now.

Microsoft has provided an application to be installed on Windows/Mac or Tablets and through a Wired or Wifi.

Download Project My Screen App from Microsoft

It is pretty simple to use:

1. Just install the app on your Windows/Mac

2. Connect your Windows Phone to USB (wired)

3, Launch ā€œProject My Screen Appā€ from Start Menu. It will detect your phone and your will will be prompted to Accept the screen sharing. Click on ā€˜Yesā€™, and look how amazing it is to share your screen on PC.

PS: There is a caveat you all need to know, you cannot share DRM protected contents through this feature.
