What is Miracast?

 

Miracast is a peer-to-peer, wireless screencast standard. It is a Wi-Fi direct connection, similar to Bluetooth, or WiDi, that Microsoft started supporting under Windows 8.1. Microsoft continued support in Windows 10 and built Miracast support into Windows 11.

Miracast enables the seamless display of multimedia content between several different Miracast devices. Miracast lets you wirelessly share multimedia: Including high-resolution pictures, high-definition (HD) and 4K Ultra video content between those Miracast devices. This works even if there is no Wi-Fi network available.

The Miracast receiver that is used must be Wi-Fi Certified for the technology to work.
