This software works with AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast, which are the top platforms that use mirroring (allowing the screen on your phone, tablet or laptop to show up on your TV or computer). AirServer turns a Windows PC into a universal mirroring receiver, similar to an Apple TV or a Chromecast device, and can receive streams one by one or simultaneously. It offers Retina quality mirroring, so iOS devices starting with the iPhone 6 Plus can mirror at full 1080 x 1920 resolution. It starts with a free, fully featured 30-day trial, which is enough time to see if it is something that will be of great use to you or not. This gives you ample time to test all of your devices.

Features:

  • Encrypted AirPlay protects your personal photos and videos as they are transmitted over the network, and the settings let you choose the display and audio output and apply post-processing filters such as sharpness and saturation.
  • It's a one-stop shop, in that there is no need to install any other apps on the sending device. AirServer uses the AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast support that is already built into your devices.
  • It's compatible with many devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows 10 PCs, Android devices and Chromebooks. So you are able to cast from your iPhone or iPad as well as the tabs or desktop of your Chromebook.
  • The Windows 10/11 edition is distributed through the Microsoft Store, and classic 32-bit and 64-bit installers are available for Windows 7, 8 and 10. AirServer is also YouTube Live certified, so you can live stream your iOS gameplay with a picture-in-picture webcam.
It lets you mirror iPhones, iPads, Android devices, Chromebooks and Windows PCs to one computer without installing different software for each device.

AirServer is a program that allows you to really utilize your desktop with all of your other devices that would normally require a multitude of apps or dedicated hardware. It is popular in classrooms, where teachers and students share iPad or Chromebook screens on a big display, as well as in meetings and for demonstrating mobile apps. Many of us use devices from various providers and it can be a headache to make them all work together, and AirServer covers that in terms of casting. Consumer, Educational and Business licenses are available for personal, school and professional use.
