  • The connection is fast and should only take a few seconds.

Intel Wireless Display is a program that allows you to cast wirelessly to other screens. This can be helpful if you have a presentation, movie or other file on one computer, but you need to show it on a larger screen. You can wirelessly cast to any suitable display.

Main Features

Casting one screen to another has become more popular recently and that's thanks to programs like Intel Wireless Display. This program allows you to cast the contents of your screen to another without a wired connection. Simply install the program, click the cast button and any files on your computer will show up on a different screen.

This is most commonly used on larger screens and for presentations, but you can cast to any suitable screen.

Internet Connection

Casting to a screen is very easy, but you must keep in mind that both screens must have an Internet connection. If the screens aren't connected, then the casting won't work. While this is a potential problem, the truth is that most screens now have an Internet connection.

Fast Casting

Intel Wireless Display should only need a few seconds to load. Even if you're showing a larger file on your computer, that shouldn't slow down the connection. This is because the other screen is only mirroring the main computer. It isn't showing the actual file. This means that the connection should always be fast as long as you have a good Internet connection.
