# Windows devices

## Option 1: Screen Sharing with Miracast (same WiFi required)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: The minimum supported Windows version is Windows 10 (version 1703 or higher).
{% endhint %}

* Make sure your laptop is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as shown on the Mago screen (or as per the instructions given by your IT admin). Miracast can also work in Wi-Fi Direct mode, without the need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Refer to the Network Requirements for this option: [Broken mention](broken://pages/8hKbIOZ6WtSzNYtZK8Ah)
* Press **`Windows Key + K`** or open the Cast menu (or “Connect” menu in Windows 10) from the action center. It will be displayed in the bottom right.
* Select the Mago Essential **display name** from the list. It is the name you can find on the display (top left).
* **If prompted, enter the PIN** shown on the Mago screen. Your screen will now be mirrored wirelessly.

**Tip: Enable Touchback (Input Back)**
{% endhint %}

If the room display is a touchscreen and the feature is supported by your laptop, you can control your Windows device directly from the screen (e.g., tapping, swiping).

To enable this:

* After connecting via Miracast, open the Cast menu again (Windows + K)
* Click **“Allow mouse, keyboard, touch input from this device”**&#x20;

This allows you to interact with your laptop through the room’s touchscreen.

## Option 2: Screen Sharing with Mago Link (any network, no app required)

{% hint style="success" %}
To use Mago Link, your laptop must have an internet connection, but it does not need to be on the same network as the Mago Essential device. No app is required and no dongle needs to be connected.
{% endhint %}

1. **Open your browser and go** to [www.magolink.com](https://www.magolink.com/). (If Mago is deployed on premises, your Mago Link address may use a custom domain).
2. Enter the **6-digit code** shown on the Mago screen or scan the QR code with your device’s camera.
3. Choose one of the following options:
   * **Share Screen**: Select a browser tab, window, or full screen. (Browser tabs can also share audio).
   * **Present File**: Upload a file to present it and control it wirelessly. (Supports PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Images, Videos, and .glb 3D files).
