Screens can be mirrored between Windows PCs and mobile devices with LetsView, which also records or captures the shared display. Its tools also cover PC-to-PC casting, on-screen annotations, and whiteboard use during a presentation.
Phone-to-PC mirroring
For a local connection, run LetsView on the PC and phone, with both devices connected to the same Wi-Fi. On iOS, select the PC from the phone’s Screen Mirroring controls; on Android, use the app to find the PC and start sharing. The mirrored view can show phone photos, videos, apps, and other on-screen content on the larger display.
LetsView also supports casting between computers, including PC-to-PC and PC-to-Mac workflows. The connection screen uses a passkey: enter the receiving device’s code on the device that will share its screen.
Passkey and Remote Cast connections
LetsView provides alternate ways to pair devices when they do not appear in the nearby-device list. Depending on the connection workflow, users can enter a passkey or PIN, or scan a QR code.
The Remote Cast plug-in is for connecting devices on different Wi-Fi networks. A separate hotspot workflow is also available when a phone cannot connect through the usual Wi-Fi arrangement.
Recording and screen tools
During a mirrored session, the Windows app can record the display and save screenshots to the computer. Full-screen viewing and an always-on-top option keep the shared view accessible while presenting.
The drawing tools place marks directly over the mirrored screen. They include a brush, several color choices, undo and clear controls, plus a whiteboard for notes. These features suit walkthroughs where a presenter needs to point out a control or sketch an explanation.
Audio and display settings
LetsView includes settings for mirroring resolution and audio. For phone-to-PC sessions, the phone app can select system sound or microphone sound; the PC mirroring controls also include a sound on/off option. Resolution controls are available for phone and computer mirroring workflows.
