There are many reasons why we want to stream our iPhone or iPad to computer. For instance, we need to share our saved videos to our friends and colleagues. Although we can use our devices to view them, it?s much better to play them on a bigger screen. Another example that requires you to do this is when you have an upcoming presentation and you only have a desktop as your projector. Of course, your only option is to connect your phone. If you own any Mac, you won?t have to worry about it because you may use AirPlay. However, if you?re using Windows as an OS, you might run into problems. Don?t worry yet for here?s a guide on how to mirror iPhone/iPad to PC.
