How do I do a screen recording?
-
For Windows platform:
- Make sure your Mirroring360 is 1.5.0.0 or newer
- Mirror your device to your computer
- On the mirrored window on your computer, mouse right-click, select ‘Start Recording’
- Stop it by mouse right-click on the mirrored window and select ‘Stop Recording’
The recorded video file will be stored in the default path “C:\Users\{Windows_account_name}\Videos” (or you optionally set it to a preferred location from Settings > Advanced). The file name has the convention {device_name}_{timestamp}.mp4
For Mac platform:
We recommend the built-in QuickTime Player (version 10 or later) that comes with OS X, below are the steps (adaptedfrom https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201066#screen):- Choose File > New Screen Recording
- To start recording, click the Record button, then click anywhere on the screen to begin recording the entire screen. Or drag to select an area to record, then click the Start Recording button within that area
- To stop recording, click the Stop button in the menu bar, or press Command-Control-Esc (Escape)
Note: To change the recording settings, click the arrow next to the Record button.

I can see my computer on my iPad / iPhone’s AirPlay list but unable to connect
If you are having trouble connecting to the computer list in your iPad or iPhone’s AirPlay list, please follow the below suggestions to troubleshoot (usually the first 2 steps should be sufficient):
- Restart your iPad or iPhone (i.e., press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, drag the slider to turn your device completely off, after the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo)
- Restart your computer, make sure your Mirroring360 application on your computer is up and running
- Make sure your Windows Firewall (or 3rd party firewall) has allowed the Mirroring360.exe application to access the network, either by:
- Allow Mirroring360.exe application to be trusted and applied to ‘Domain’, ‘Private’, and ‘Public’ profiles
- Allow the following port ranges be allowed by the firewall:
- TCP 6000-7000, 7100, 47000, 47010
- UDP 5353, 6000-7000, 7011
I have selected my computer and turned on Mirroring in the AirPlay list, but I am unable to see my iPad / iPhone screen on my computer. All I see is a blank window
We suspect that you might also be running some 3rd-party HTTP capturing software (e.g., HTTP Pro) that blocks non-standard HTTP web traffic thus preventing AirPlay protocol to function properly. Please configure these 3rd-party HTTP capturing software to allow AirPlay protocol to access/pass through.
In addition, please make sure your display adapter driver is up-to-date, and has DirectX features enabled.

Why do I keep getting an AirPlay Password prompt whenever I start mirroring?
If you have not set a password in Mirroring360 (under Settings > Advanced > Password), then it’s possible that the WiFi/wired network you are currently in have iOS management solution in place.
One example would be the Cisco’s Meraki router appliance and the ‘require password for AirPlay’ is set. To unset this option, on the iOS that is trying to use Mirroring360:
- In the MDM Commands section, click on AirPlay and make sure a password isn’t set
- Then click on System Manager > MDM Settings and click on Restrictions
- Uncheck the box(s) that says require passcode for AirPlay (there should be two, one for incoming and one for outgoing)
- And update the organization profile
Other router appliance may have similar settings/configurations that needs to be figured out.
I'm unable to mirror when connected to an airport or hotel wifi network
Mirroring360 handshaking relies on certain broadcast and MDNS packets to be allowed by the network, but airport / hotel wifi often aggressively filters out these packets. To mirror at these locations, you can connect sending and receiving devices to a cellular hotspot – please refer to “How do I set up WiFi hotspot or Tethering for mirroring?” for detailed instructions.
