Even though most of the dedicated options are only available for Windows/Mac, you may have a tough time finding an open-source solution for Linux. + +With such an app, you can share your screen with any device connected to your network. + +If you have a multi-monitor setup, you realise the advantages of having multiple screens. And, with Deskreen, you can turn any device into your secondary screen, how exciting! + +### Deskreen: Turn Any Device into Secondary Screen for Your Linux System + +![I mirrored my Linux Mint desktop to my Android phone][1] + +[Deskreen][2] is a free and open-source application that lets you use any device with a web browser to use as a secondary screen for your computer. + +It also supports multiple devices to connect if you want. + +Deskreen is easy to use and works fine when all your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. + +Let us take a look at the features and how it works. + +### Features of Deskreen + +[Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more Linux videos][3] + +Deskreen features the essentials that include: + + * Ability to share the entire screen + * Choose a specific application window to stream + * Flip Mode to use your screen as a teleprompter + * Supports multiple devices + * Advanced video quality settings + * Offers end-to-end encryption + * Minimal system requirements + * Dark mode + + + +You do not have a lengthy list of features here, but it should be enough for most users. + +### How to Use Deskreen App? + +The Deskreen app works in three simple steps, let me highlight them for you to get started: + +First, when you launch the app, it will display a QR code and an IP address to help you connect other devices with a web browser to stream your screen. + +![][4] + +You can go for anything you like to set up connection with the help of your web browser on your secondary device. + +Once you scan the QR code or enter the IP address in your browser’s address bar, you will get a prompt on Deskreen app to allow or deny the connection. Unless it is something that you do not recognize, go ahead to allow it. + +![][5] + +Next, you will be asked to select what do you want to stream (your entire screen or a specific application window): + +![][6] + +You can choose to stream the entire screen or select the window that you want to stream. However, not every application window may be detected. + +In my quick test, I did not get Rocket.Chat app window but it did seem to detect Slack application window, Deskscreen window, and the terminal as well. + +![][7] + +You just have to select the source and confirm, that’s it. You should notice it streaming on your secondary screen (mobile/desktop). + +![][8] + +This is how it’ll look when it is done: + +![][9] + +Deskreen also gives you the ability to manage connected devices. So, if you need to disconnect any session or all of them, you can do it from the settings. + +### Install Deskreen in Linux + +You get a DEB package and AppImage file for Linux machines. In case you did not know, go through our guides on [install DEB packages][10] and [using AppImage files][11] to get it installed. + +You can download it from the [official website][2] or explore more about it from its [GitHub page][12]. + +[Deskreen][2] + +### Closing Thoughts + +Considering it works using the Wi-Fi network, there is absolutely no issue with the streaming. This is a fantastic way to share your screen with someone else to watch or just stream it to a secondary device for any purpose. + +Of course, it doesn’t replace the advantages of a second monitor for your computer, but you may not need a second screen for a few use-cases. + +Now, I would like to ask you something. What practical use case you can think of that could take advantage of deskreen app here? + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/deskreen/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskreen-app.jpg?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1 +[2]: https://deskreen.com/lang-en +[3]: https://www.youtube.com/c/itsfoss?sub_confirmation=1 +[4]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskreen-connect.png?resize=800%2C559&ssl=1 +[5]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskscreen-connect.png?resize=800%2C553&ssl=1 +[6]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskreen-select.png?resize=800%2C549&ssl=1 +[7]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskreen-app-window.png?resize=800%2C551&ssl=1 +[8]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskreen-confirm-1.png?resize=800%2C554&ssl=1 +[9]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/deskscreen-done.png?resize=873%2C599&ssl=1 +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/install-deb-files-ubuntu/ +[11]: https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/ +[12]: https://github.com/pavlobu/deskreen
