Miracast

Miracast is a wireless communications standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance which is designed to transmit video and sound directly from devices (such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones) to display receivers (such as TVs, monitors, or projectors). It can roughly be described as "HDMI over Wi-Fi", replacing cables in favor of wireless.[1] The protocol is utilised in many devices and is used or branded under various names by different manufacturers, including Smart View[2][3] and AllShare Cast (by Samsung), SmartShare (by LG), screen mirroring (by Sony), Cast (in Windows 11), wireless display and screen casting.[4][5][6]
