Answer from Microsoft Support:
I have consulted a higher-level engineer regarding the issue, and received the Information that Miracast is not a functionality on Surface Hub 3 devices anymore.

- Surely Miracast can be easily enabled via a software update as it is already built into the device.
Kiril An alternative option might be to leverage the HDMI Port on the Surface Hub 3 and connect a Wireless HDMI dongle into that port such as the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter 4k (UTH-00014)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/use-the-microsoft-wireless-display-adapter-e3c36815-74b2-b6fb-f09a-923ef28fd5fb- Thank you. We tried the adapter but unfortunately it's not very reliable. The connection drops multiple times during longer presentations.
I found a way to do it:
1. Tap on "... more"
2. Tap on "Settings"
3. Enter admin password (default is "sfb")
4. Tap on "Windows-Settings"
5. Log an as administrator; default password is "sfb"
6. Open Windows 11 Settings
7. While in "System" scroll down to "Projecting to this PC" and tap on it
8. Configure it to allow projection; you may define the settings you would like to use
9. Tap on "Launch the Connect app to project to this PC"
10. Now Casting to Surface Hub 3 is possible. The drawback however is, that you need to open the Connect app everytime you want to cast ... not very user friendly.
Another option is to cast via Teams:
1. On the Hub tap on "Share"
2. On the laptop in the teams client tap on the three dots "..." and then on "Cast"
- Just tried it and it only works while the admin is logged in. As soon as I log out, and switch to the "Skype" user which displays MTR Windows, the cast function does not work.
- That is what I meant with "you need to open the Connect app everytime you want to cast" (as an admin) ... I don't like MS-decision to remove the standard Miracast functionality from the default MTR Windows. But it's obviously a software topic, not an hardware issue - that's the good news. So there's room for Microsoft to bring back the standard Miracast functionality with a software update.
However, as long as you want to cast from a windows client with teams on it, the casting via Teams variant should be a valid option for now.
