Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
Download application software free Windows 11/10
Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter is an app designed to help you use the wireless connection between your laptop or tablet and a compatible display. The app is available on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It facilitates proper detection, connection, and secure and reliable operation of your wireless display transmission using Wi-Fi Direct technology. It is a useful tool for users who are interested in streaming video, viewing pictures and presentations or playing video games on their computer.
Unlike the Chromecast or Apple TV devices, this Microsoft offering only works with a select set of Miracast-enabled Android and Windows 8.1 smartphones and tablets (or any Surface device). Once you have the app installed, it's easy to connect and start sharing your screen with an HDTV or monitor.
Once you're connected, the adapter acts as a regular display, so you can access and work with your existing apps just as if it were an extension of your laptop or tablet's screen. That includes using your favorite photo or video apps to show off your family vacation or latest home improvement project, or business tools like Google Slides, Trello, World Clock and Unsplash for a quick team brainstorming session.
The $50 Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter is in direct competition with the $35 Google Chromecast, the $29 Roku Streaming Stick and other similarly priced devices that offer similar features but with a larger selection of apps to choose from. Ultimately, the device's success will come down to usage.
