At some point, all of us have wondered if we could connect external devices to our computer’s display. Well, the Wireless display feature allows us to do that. It can be added to Windows 11 as an optional feature.

Wireless Display allows other devices to connect to the computer and project their screens. It even allows you to use the input devices connected to your computer to operate the projected screen.
