With Deskreen, You Can Mirror or Stream Your Linux Computer Screen to Any Device
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Screen sharing or screen mirroring apps available out there aren’t that good. Even though most of the dedicated options are only available for Windows/Mac, you may have a tough time finding an open-source solution for Linux.
|
||
|
||
With such an app, you can share your screen with any device connected to your network.
|
||
|
||
If you have a multi-monitor setup, you realise the advantages of having multiple screens. And, with Deskreen, you can turn any device into your secondary screen, how exciting!
|
||
|
||
### Deskreen: Turn Any Device into Secondary Screen for Your Linux System
|
||
|
||
![I mirrored my Linux Mint desktop to my Android phone][1]
|
||
|
||
[Deskreen][2] is a free and open-source application that lets you use any device with a web browser to use as a secondary screen for your computer.
|
||
|
||
It also supports multiple devices to connect if you want.
|
||
|
||
Deskreen is easy to use and works fine when all your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
|
||
|
||
Let us take a look at the features and how it works.
|
||
|
||
### Features of Deskreen
|
||
|
||
[Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more Linux videos][3]
|
||
|
||
Deskreen features the essentials that include:
|
||
|
||
* Ability to share the entire screen
|
||
* Choose a specific application window to stream
|
||
* Flip Mode to use your screen as a teleprompter
|
||
* Supports multiple devices
|
||
* Advanced video quality settings
|
||
* Offers end-to-end encryption
|
||
* Minimal system requirements
|
||
* Dark mode
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You do not have a lengthy list of features here, but it should be enough for most users.
|
||
|
||
### How to Use Deskreen App?
|
||
|
||
The Deskreen app works in three simple steps, let me highlight them for you to get started:
|
||
|
||
First, when you launch the app, it will display a QR code and an IP address to help you connect other devices with a web browser to stream your screen.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
You can go for anything you like to set up connection with the help of your web browser on your secondary device.
|
||
|
||
Once you scan the QR code or enter the IP address in your browser’s address bar, you will get a prompt on Deskreen app to allow or deny the connection. Unless it is something that you do not recognize, go ahead to allow it.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Next, you will be asked to select what do you want to stream (your entire screen or a specific application window):
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
You can choose to stream the entire screen or select the window that you want to stream. However, not every application window may be detected.
|
||
|
||
In my quick test, I did not get Rocket.Chat app window but it did seem to detect Slack application window, Deskscreen window, and the terminal as well.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
You just have to select the source and confirm, that’s it. You should notice it streaming on your secondary screen (mobile/desktop).
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
This is how it’ll look when it is done:

||

|
||
|
||
Deskreen also gives you the ability to manage connected devices. So, if you need to disconnect any session or all of them, you can do it from the settings.
|
||
|
||
### Install Deskreen in Linux
|
||
|
||
You get a DEB package and AppImage file for Linux machines. In case you did not know, go through our guides on [install DEB packages][10] and [using AppImage files][11] to get it installed.
|
||
|
||
You can download it from the [official website][2] or explore more about it from its [GitHub page][12].

||
### Closing Thoughts
|
||
|
||
Considering it works using the Wi-Fi network, there is absolutely no issue with the streaming. This is a fantastic way to share your screen with someone else to watch or just stream it to a secondary device for any purpose.
|
||
|
||
Of course, it doesn’t replace the advantages of a second monitor for your computer, but you may not need a second screen for a few use-cases.
|
||
|
||
Now, I would like to ask you something. What practical use case you can think of that could take advantage of deskreen app here?
