How Do I Make My Laptop Discoverable for Wireless Display?

To make your laptop discoverable for wireless display, you need to enable the Miracast feature on your device. Miracast is a wireless display standard that allows you to stream your laptop screen to a compatible TV or monitor.

Here’s how to enable Miracast on your laptop:

Windows

1. Open Settings: Click the Start menu and select Settings.
2. Go to System: Click on System.
3. Select Projecting to this PC: In the left sidebar, click on Projecting to this PC.
4. Enable Wireless Display: Under "Make this PC discoverable", select "Everyone".

macOS

1. Open System Preferences: Click the Apple menu and select System Preferences.
2. Go to Displays: Click on Displays.
3. Enable AirPlay: Click on the AirPlay tab. Check the box next to "Allow AirPlay mirroring".

Once you have enabled Miracast or AirPlay, your laptop should be discoverable by compatible wireless displays. You can then select your laptop from the display's device list to begin streaming.

Note: You may need to update your laptop's drivers or operating system to ensure compatibility with Miracast or AirPlay.

Example: If you want to connect your laptop to a smart TV with Miracast support, you would first enable Miracast on your laptop. Then, on your TV, you would go to the input settings and select "Miracast" or "Wireless Display." Your laptop should then appear in the list of available devices on your TV.
