Not sure which display model you have? Identify your display

Both SMART Mirror and SMART Screen share work with a device’s native screen sharing tool (for example, AirPlay or Google Cast), or you can download the accompanying SMART client app to your device and use it to share your device to the screen.

Depending on the screen sharing method you use on your device, different features are available. Expand the sections below to see a summary of what’s available for each method.

You can use a device’s native screen sharing tool to share to displays that have SMART Mirror or SMART Screen Share. Depending on your device and its native screen sharing tool, different features are available when sharing to the display:
