sharing and mirroring desktop with boox

Hi everyone, I'm considering purchasing the Air 3C, but I just wanted to make sure it can do these two things:

(i) I need to mirror the screen to a laptop to share the tablet screen and make some drawings.
(ii) Besides mirroring, I would also like to conduct Teams meetings directly from the Boox and share the desktop.

Thank you to anyone who can help me with these doubts!

Screen sharing is a deep subject. There is:
  • Devices with HDMI connectors
  • Devices with Type C USB and DisplayPort alternate mode
  • Miracast
  • Apple mirroring
  • Browser-based mirroring, like Chromecast
  • Server-based mirroring, like scrcopy
  • Screencap mirroring, like my AdbGrab.exe
Your choice depends on quality, latency and reliability required.

When I need to do some screen captures to illustrate something, I use my AdbGrab.exe
It should work with any stock Android, although it is a bit slow.

Mirroring is possible on Eink tablets from Boox - https://help.boox.com/hc/en-us/artic...reen-Mirroring

Using Teams is another thing as the refresh rate could be issue due to video. Also, not sure how optimized Teams app is on Android.

Mirroring is via Wi-Fi

Mmm, if you insist.
But then I'll have to come up with a verb meaning to duplicate a screen on another device.
And why do they say "mirroring" when the image isn't even reversed?

Thank you for the answers! I use a MacBook Air M2, which supports Type-C connections. Currently, I use a Samsung Tab, and I use the Windows Whiteboard, which works quite well. I can join the same Whiteboard page on both the tablet and laptop with the same user, and they are automatically synchronized. I would like to use the Boox in the same way with the Windows Whiteboard or something better. The best way would be connecting with a USB-C cable to reduce lags and connection issues.

Yeah they are calling casting as mirroring.maybe it is translation error.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use anydesk since I have a mac. I would like to see the onyx display inside my laptop (or even just the Notes app). I have installed the Anydesk app and it seems to work, I mean I see the onyx display, but just only the desktop... if I open the Notes app or any other app, in my laptop I still see the Onyx desktop and it seems to be locked. Do you have any suggestion? Or maybe another way to replicate/mirror the onyx display inside my mac? Thank you a lot.
