Can you screen mirror an iPad to Windows PC?
Actually, using the Xbox app for Windows to mirror iPad to PC is a very interesting idea, and I have tried it before. But to be honest, the operation is a bit tortuous.
- The steps to mirror iPad to PC using the Xbox app for Windows are as follows:
- Make sure your iPad and Windows 11 PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Open the built-in Xbox app on the Windows 11 PC.
- After entering the Xbox app, find the "Connect to a wireless display" option and click it.
- Open the Control Center on the iPad, select "Screen mirroring", and try to search for your PC.
- When your PC appears in the device list, select it and complete the connection.
However, the biggest pitfall is that this method does not always go smoothly, and the delay is quite obvious, especially when playing games or watching videos, the picture will freeze. In addition, there is no native support for Xbox connection on the iPad, so it takes some effort to achieve it. Simple operation is fine, but if you have requirements for screen projection quality, you may need to consider other methods.

Using the Xbox app to mirror iPad to PC is indeed quite creative, but it is a bit cumbersome to operate. I tried it and found that the delay was quite serious, especially when watching videos or playing games, the picture was very stuck. Has anyone tried this method to successfully reduce the delay? Or are there other ways to mirror the screen that do not require third-party software but have better results?
