Mirror via Google cast
If the AirSync Sender is not available, you can use a web browser to quickly share screens over the Internet.
Use browser casting
AirSync supports sharing from Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers via the built-in casting feature. Note that this requires both the device and the target IFP to be connected to the internet.
On the target IFP:
- Launch the AirSync app.
- Tap on Settings.
- On Device Setting, review the Device Name. Also note the full device name on the top right of the IFP.
- On Mirroring, verify that Google Cast is turned on. Note that enabling Auto accept will immediately start casting without further prompts.
- Click to close Settings.
On the device:
- Launch Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
- In the top-right corner, click to open the menu.
- Explore the menu and look for the Cast command. The location of this command varies:
- On Edge, look under More tools » Cast media to device.
- On Chrome, look under Save and Share » Cast....
- On Chrome, right-click on a blank area and select Cast....
- Click the icon and review the list of available devices that appear.
- At the bottom of this menu, specify if you want to share the current tab or screen.
- Afterwards, select the entry that matches the Device Name of the target IFP.
- The contents of your tab/screen are displayed immediately on the IFP.
- To stop casting, click Cast icon again and click Stop on the menu.
Additional details
Note the following behavior:
- A sharing session using mirroring can last up to three hours. Five minutes before the end of the three hours, a countdown will be displayed at the top right of the screen. The session will automatically close after the countdown.
- Some features like touchback and HD quality are provided by the AirSync Sender app and are not available when mirroring. If you need these features, consider sharing your screen via the AirSync Sender app.
- Even when a sharing session has started, AirSync will still accept new mirror requests and will automatically go into split-screen view to show all screens. You can zoom in and out, or restore individual screens as needed. Depending on the IFP model, AirSync can accept up to 4 to 6 devices for simultaneous projection.
