If hardware supports Miracast, can we use a Windows 8.1 machine as a Miracast receiver? This question was on my agenda since August 2013. Is Windows 8.1 capable to act as a Miracast receiver? Hands on: Streamcasting mit DLNA, Miracast, Airplay & Co. A link list (to my German blog articles) is available in the following article. Within my (German) blog I've tested many Miracast receiver and also several Windows 8.1 and Android 4.x devices as Miracast sender. See this wikipedia article and this Microsoft article for further reading. But there is a mandatory hardware support for for Miracast. Miracast is a vendor independent standard to stream audio and video signals wireless from a Windows 8.1 machine or an Android 4.2.3 device to Miracast receivers. Windows 8.1 itself doesn't come with a "receiver application" for Miracast at all. Well, that question was answered "No, that isn't possible". I still remember the question, raised in summer 2013 in Microsoft's Answers forums: "So, if upcoming Windows 8.1 supports Miracast, can I use my Surface Pro to receive a screen mirrored from another Windows 8.1 machine?".
