What does Screen mirroring mean?
Screen mirroring reproduces a sender device’s display on another screen. It can include menus, notifications and orientation changes, which makes it different from a dedicated video handoff that presents only media through a supported receiver workflow.
Why it matters
App and content restrictions can affect whether video appears correctly while mirroring. A phone locking or changing apps can also alter the shared display. Prepare privacy settings before a group session and disconnect before opening account details. Mirroring does not create new content access or establish that every receiver supports the same features.
