Hey there! Screen sharing from an iPad can be tricky, especially if you hit glitches with the built-in options. Lemme break down a few routes that should work for you:
First, double-check your basics. Make sure you’ve got the latest iOS version installed (Settings > General > Software Update). If your iPad or the app you’re using needs an update, it could mess up screen sharing.
Using Built-in Features:
-
AirPlay: This is gold if you’re in a Mac ecosystem.
- Swipe down from the upper-right corner to access the Control Center.
- Tap “Screen Mirroring” and select your Mac or Apple TV.
- For meetings, open your preferred video conferencing app and share from there.
-
Directly in Meeting Apps:
- Zoom: Join your meeting, tap “Share Content” at the bottom, and then “Screen.”
- Microsoft Teams: During the call, tap the three dots (…), then “Share,” and finally “Share Screen."
- Google Meet: You can share your screen by joining the meeting on your iPad browser and navigating to “Present from this device.”
If the above just isn’t cutting it, it might be worth checking third-party apps. Sometimes they’re more stable or offer additional features.
Consider DoCast Screen Mirroring:
- I’ve had pretty solid experiences with it, especially in professional settings. DoCast is reliable and tends to work seamlessly for screen mirroring on an iPad.

Sometimes it’s just about trying out a few things and figuring out what works best for your setup. Good luck and hope this helps!
