How to share mobile screen on laptop from Windows 11?
Let’s talk about sharing your mobile screen on a Windows 11 laptop and the common errors you might run into. I’ve been through this myself, and trust me, there are a few pitfalls you’ll want to avoid when you share mobile screen on laptop.
1. USB Debugging Not Enabled
What Happens: Your laptop won’t recognize your phone, and tools like Scrcpy or Vysor won’t work.
How to Fix: On your phone, go to Settings > About Phone > Build Number (tap it 7 times to unlock Developer Options). Then, go to Settings > System > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
2. Wi-Fi Connection Issues
What Happens: Wireless mirroring fails because your phone and laptop aren’t on the same network or the connection is unstable.
How to Fix: Ensure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the connection is weak, move closer to the router or use a USB connection instead.
3. Using Outdated Software
What Happens: Older versions of Scrcpy or other tools may not support the latest Android or Windows 11 updates.
How to Fix: Always download the latest version of the tool you’re using. For Scrcpy, check the GitHub page for updates.
