Use the Second screen feature to extend your Windows computer to your Galaxy tablet

Last Update date : Nov 16. 2022

Do you ever wish you could extend your Windows computer's screen to another device besides a TV or monitor? With the One UI 3.1 update, your tablet has that capability! As long as your laptop or computer has Windows 10, you can mirror its screen to a Galaxy tablet. You can even control your computer from the tablet's screen.

Note: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for Galaxy tablets sold in other countries. The second screen feature is only available on Galaxy Tab S8 & S7 series running One UI 3.1 and later and select PCs with Wireless Display running Windows 10 v.2004 or higher.

Set up and use Second screen

Maybe you need to show your co-worker how to do something online. Instead of crowding around your Windows computer, you can mirror your computer's screen to a Galaxy tablet and let your co-worker watch from the tablet. They can also control your computer from the tablet if they want to demonstrate what they learned.

_{Note: For the best results, make sure the two devices are close to each other and are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.}

1 On your tablet, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel.

2 Swipe to the left, and then tap the Second screen icon.
