How to Mirror an iPhone Screen on a Mac and PC

Are you looking for an app to mirror the screen of your iPhone on a PC or Mac? If so, we suggest that you check out 5KPlayer, which is compatible with both Windows OS and Mac OS X. One of the greatest features of this app is that it is compatible with AirPlay. This feature allows you to use the player to mirror your phone screen on Windows and Mac. Therefore, you can enjoy your favorite games and other stuff on your Mac or Windows computer. Read on to know how you can do it step by step.

How is it done?

The screen sharing is done by streaming the display onto the screen of a PC or Mac. Actually, the player supports tons of AirPlay third-party apps. Therefore, you don't need to take a lot of hassle and you don't need wires or adapters either. All you need is your smartphone, a mirroring app and a compute or Mac.

Follow these steps

If you want to show the screen of your iPhone or iPad on the big screen of a PC, you may want to check out AirPlay. This protocol allows you to share files between different products by Apple. As a matter of fact, with this feature, you can achieve the mirroring function with ease. To help you get the configuration done, we have described the whole procedure step by step.

1. First of all, you should go to the official website of the player. Next, you should go to the download page and hit the download button. Once the player has been downloaded and installed, you should launch it.

2. Now, you should configure AirPlay on your computer. In the Preferences, you should set a name and a password. In order to activate the feature, you should swipe the panel of your iPhone that shows shortcuts. The password will keep the unwanted users from accessing the app.

3. Your next step is to hit the AirPlay button located near the progress bar. In the Mac, you can find it on the top right corner of the window. The app will get activated. Once it is on, you should go ahead and follow the next step.

4. That is it. You can use your phone and the contents of the screen will be shown on your computer or Mac.

Remember: if you want to do the mirroring, make sure your Mac and iPhone are connected through the same Wi-Fi source.

As far as the audio formats are concerned, 5KPlayer support

Mirroring With Reflector

The largest pro of using Reflector is that it allows for mirroring without any wires. The mirroring works over Wi-Fi, much the same way that Mac or iDevices mirror to the AppleTV.

This also requires that both the Mac and iOS device be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. And the lack of wire could mean a bit more lag. It also requires a paid software be installed on the Mac. But Reflector does offer a free seven-day trial, so it is worth a download.

    Open the web browser and go to http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/.
    Click Try Reflector,  then Download Reflector.
    Download the .dmg file and open it.
    Drag Reflector to the Applications folder.
    Launch Reflector.
    Click Try Reflector.

You won't see any windows or other application screens appear. Reflector will live in the dock until an iOS device is connected to it.
