48 views

Screen mirroring displays your device's screen on another screen, such as a TV or projector, showing exactly what's on your device. Screen sharing allows you to share content from your device on another screen, but you can choose what content to share (like specific photos or documents), and the viewers don’t see everything on your screen.
