Surface Tablet (RT/Pro) Miracast Capability?

Hi SuperRob503,

Thank you for your question. No, Surface does not have support for Miracast wireless display. You can however use the video out display with either a VGA or HDMI cable to display on a bigger screen or monitor.

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks,!

The original Surface RT does not support Miracast, so NO.

The original Surface RT does not support Miracast. Therefore the Microsoft

Wireless Display Adapter and other branded adapters will not work.

Use an HDMI cable.

How can I get a wireless display adapter that will work with my surface RT since it will not support miracast I tried a V-linker but Microsoft does not support an app for that device. What products will work with the surface RT that Microsoft has an app for?

Microsoft does not have any apps that support mirroring from the Surface RT. As you know, Miracast is not supported on the Surface RT (original). I'm not aware of any hardware vendors that have alternative mirroring dongles that have modern apps to allow you to use them with a Surface RT.

Trying to get MS Wireless Display Adapter to work with Surface tablet. There is no option under Devices -> Project -> for Add a wireless display. I have all the updates. I have restarted Surface. Still no option. Help, please!

Turns out that the Surface RT is not compatible with the MSWireless Display Adapter.

Hi,

no the Surface RT doesn't support Miracast

Greetings Luca Bino,

That page is for Windows in general, but is not specific to Surface. Please see the article here, specifically:

Connect Surface 2 to a wireless display With Surface 2, you can connect to some displays wirelessly. (This isn't available for Surface RT.)

Hello Sporosarcina, 

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback with us. I will pass this along to the appropriate parties.

It sees your laptop there because it is a network device utilizing the TCP/IP protocol.

Greetings Cpuzder,

The Surface does not have WiDi, though I am curious to why it is seeing your Laptop in devices. Can you give us a screenshot of it?

Hi,

Stay tuned for updates!

The Surface RT does not have the specs to support WiDi.

The Surface Pro seems to have the specs to support WiDi.
