This can enhance your productivity by giving you more screen real estate. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up Spacedesk on your PC with easy-to-follow instructions.
What You Need Before Getting Started
Before diving into the setup process, ensure you have a few essentials ready. Firstly, you’ll need a Windows PC (Windows 7 or higher is recommended). Additionally, confirm that both your PC and the device(s) you want to connect are on the same local network (Wi-Fi). Finally, download the necessary software for both your PC and remote devices.
Step 1: Downloading Spacedesk for Your PC
To begin using Spacedesk, visit the official Spacedesk website and download the ‘Spacedesk Driver’ for Windows. Once downloaded, run the installation file and follow the on-screen prompts to install it on your computer. After installation is complete, launch the application; it will automatically start running in the background.
Step 2: Setting Up Your Remote Device
Next, you’ll need to set up any remote device you’d like to use as a secondary display. For Android devices, go to Google Play Store and search for ‘Spacedesk.’ For iOS devices like iPhones or iPads, visit the App Store for similar downloads. Install the app and open it; it should automatically detect your PC if they are connected to the same network.
Step 3: Connecting Your Devices
Once both applications are running—on your PC and remote device—look for your computer’s name listed in the app on your mobile device. Tap on it to initiate a connection. If everything is set correctly, within moments you’ll see an extension of your desktop displayed on your mobile screen.
Step 4: Adjusting Display Settings
After successfully connecting her devices, it’s essential to adjust display settings according to personal preference. On your Windows PC’s display settings (right-click on desktop > Display Settings), you can choose whether you’d like to extend or mirror displays from there. This step allows customization based upon whether you’re multitasking or presenting information.
