How to screen mirror from Windows 11 to TV (perhaps via AirPlay)

Post date: 2024-04-16 06:06:18

A sudden flareup of an old injury will leave me on my back on the couch for a bit. But this is a question about how I can view visual/video content from my "work" laptop on my TV. Open to solutions that don't involve AirPlay, though it may be the only way , described below.

I know next to zero about whatever fun things the kids have been doing over the past several years with casting receiver hardware dongles, but I do know both of my TV's HDMI ports are filled and it would be inconvenient to make one of them free for an HDMI cable to my laptop.

One of those HDMI ports connects to an AppleTV. I use AirPlay frequently from my iPhone or personal Macbook and it works flawlessly. Bringing up Work content on my personal Macbook is something I very much want to avoid, so I'm hoping I can get my Windows 11 Work laptop's display mirrored or casted or whatever to the TV using AirPlay/AppleTV, but am def open to something else.

You might recommend AirParrot 3 . Functionality looks great ; reviews look not so good. Slightly suspect about installing that on my Work computer. Or any computer, really; but I might try it if some very good recommendations were made. Bonus points if someone who's installed that has also fired up wireshark and done the needful w/r/t confirming the only remote location those display data packets are copied to is the Airplay Receiver. Yeah, I know, probably needlessly paranoid.

I'd be open to hardware dongle on both or either PC and TV, along with an HDMI hub (is that even a thing?) on the TV.

My Samsung TV appears to _not_ have Google Chromecast, or similar, built into it. I generally keep my TV's network interfaces unconfigured/disabled, because screw Sumsung's data collection brigades.

There is an empty USB port, FWIW.

Thank you for helping me continue to be the best corporate flunkie I can be while home on the couch!
