How To Do Screen Mirroring (Cast Screen) In Honor

What is Screen Mirroring?

Screen Mirroring is a feature that allows you to cast your phone on computer or television. Therefore, you can project movies, videos, pictures, and gameplay on a bigger screen.

There are two ways to do screen mirroring.

One is to using HDMI cables which stands for the high-definition multimedia interface, supports the connection between a device such as a Blu-ray player or cable box and a flat-screen HDTV or projector.

The other is a wireless technology -- Miracast. It is a standard for connecting smart devices (such as laptops and smartphones) to displays (such as TVs, monitors, and projectors) wirelessly through Wi-Fi. Miracast is already supported on Windows 8.1 and 10 as well as Android 4.2 and later. The latest Smart TVs with Wi-Fi enabled later than 2014 should have the feature already integrated. But if your TV doesn't support Miracast, then you need to buy an external Miracast dongle.

As a wireless solution, Miracast is quite a useful tool to have around.
