When Miracast® is enabled, you can share content wirelessly from your laptop to a Cisco Board, Desk, or Room Series device without the need for a client.
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.
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 Settings menu at Screen and Video > Miracast .
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. |
Google (Pixel) Android devices do not support Miracast. |
