Screen Mirror on Windows 11 Laptop

Hi Folks.

I want to view laptop videos on the big (i.e. Roku) screen. Is Screen Mirroring the only way? If so, how do I screen mirror a Win 11 system onto my Roku wirelessly. If not wirelessly, then how could I do it using a network cable? And, as a las resort, is there another way (e.g. HDMI cable)?

Thanks.

    Yes, you can change the name of your Roku TV. You can do this either through your Roku account on the Roku website or by using the Roku mobile app. Changing the name is helpful for distinguishing between multiple Roku devices, particularly when using features like AirPlay or screen mirroring.

    Hope this one answers!

    Thanks,

      Thanks. Apparently all my neighbors also own Roku TVs and there's no way to distinguish them in the Win+K list. But once I selected the right one, it worked smoothly.

      Side question: Is there a way to give my TV a name, so I recognize it in that list?
