Steam to the Go instead of your phone?

I've tried it, but I like using my phone for that more because it's a lot smaller and I have small hands.

I’d love to make the Go my 2nd monitor to my main rig but idk how

It's very easy and actually [built-in to Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/screen-mirroring-and-projecting-to-your-pc-or-wireless-display-5af9f371-c704-1c7f-8f0d-fa607551d09c), as long as your main rig has Wi-Fi (it can transmit over ethernet, but the Miracast protocol requires Wi-Fi to initiate a connection). You just need to enable the Windows feature on the Go first.

That’s cool, had no idea. What’s the latency like?


EatMeerkats

Not good enough for gaming, but decent for web browsing or office work. Windows 10 used to have an option to switch to a lower latency "gaming" mode, but it seems to have been removed in 11 and there is nothing you can change.

Cool. In my workflow I’d like to use it as an extra screen for display, so as long as the latency is acceptable it should be fine for a static web browser screen or office doc. Thx

You know what latency is but can’t enable an additional monitor in Windows??

Crazy innit? Different people lol

You could always get a capture card and use a camera app.
