Miracast uses Wi-Fi Direct to establish a direct network connection from your laptop to the Cisco device, allowing you to share content wirelessly. This works both in and out of calls: to share in-call, start the call first. Making or receiving a call during an active share will disconnect your Miracast session.

Cisco devices now (RoomOS release 11.8) also support Miracast share over infrastructure (MS-MICE), which means that the Miracast share uses the existing network infrastructure (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) to transport the media instead of Wi-Fi Direct.

It is your system administrator who sets this up. For you as a user, it does not matter which way your system is configured, the user experience is the same with both options.

Miracast sharing is activated or deactivated by your system administrator. Depending on the setup, you might be able to toggle it on or off yourself on the device from the Device settings and selecting Miracast under Screen and video.


You can share from Windows and Android devices.

Before enabling Miracast, your Administrator should check firewall settings and verify that:

  • TCP port 7236 is open on Windows devices for Wi-Fi Direct

  • TCP port 7250 is open on Windows devices for MS-MICE


Miracast over Wi-Fi Direct is supported by:

  • Windows 8.1 and greater

  • Android 4.2 and greater

Miracast over infrastructure (MS-MICE) is supported by:

  • Windows 10 v1809 and greater


Google (Pixel) Android devices do not support Miracast.

Sharing from a Windows device



To start a Miracast share from a Windows device:

  1. On your laptop press Windows+K , or click the Action Center icon and then click Connect . Windows will scan for Miracast receivers.

  2. Click on the Board, Desk, or Room Series device you want to cast to. A PIN will appear on the device's screen.

  3. Enter the PIN on your laptop and click Connect .

    1. When in call, an auto share pop up appears, showing a five-second countdown before the sharing starts.

      During the countdown you can cancel the share.

  4. Sharing starts.


Reopen the Action Center > Connect list and select the connected device to disconnect it, or to change the Projection Mode . For example, you'd select Extend if you want to show slides on the device, but keep meeting notes on your laptop screen only.
