[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] iPad as second monitor for your PC

[Drew King (dking65@kingconsulting.us)]

We have one next week if there would be time.

Windows users have two solutions one is an Android tablet and the other is an iPad.

My Samsung Android tablet has built-in support for being a second monitor for a Windows computer by default. Not sure if anybody knows this but that's a neat fact.

It's very convenient during a zoom meeting because you can take the gallery view of people and push them over to the tablet so that you can see the presentation full screen.

Also, because Chromebooks can run Android software you can use a Chromebook as a second monitor for a Windows computer as well.

I can put a few slides together for next week if there's interest?

I don't know about the iPad but on android I was required to use USB cable to connect. The software is supposed also support wireless only it doesn't work on my android.
