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

circle-exclamation

Note: The minimum supported Windows version is Windows 10 (version 1703 or higher).

  • 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: Network requirements

  • 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)

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”

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