Samsung Flip 2 (WM55R/WM65R) - How to set up the Flip 2 as a second monitor on a laptop?

Question

Hello all! We have been desperately trying to mirror the screen of the Flip 2 on an Acer laptop for a few hours now. The Flip 2 is ultimately intended to serve as a presentation screen in a Zoom meeting via screen sharing. The other direction - that is, extending or duplicating the laptop monitor on the Flip 2 - works flawlessly. Although we connected the Flip 2 and the laptop with an HDMI cable, the Flip 2 only shows the wireless connection option when exporting (just so when importing > PC) and there is no option to select an HDMI connection. The laptop is running Windows 11, but it does not recognize the Flip 2 as a second monitor. Does anyone know if you have to configure anything special on the laptop now? Also today, we additionally installed the CY-TF65BRC connection box, but again when connecting HDMI on the laptop to the screen share HDMI port, nothing does towards wired connection. Thanks in advance for the support.

Accepted Answer

The tray is already the right thing. From the ScreenShare output you can only not directly to the laptop. On the laptop are usually only HDMI out ports, but they need an input. This would be possible via a USB capture card for HDMI. e.g. the Elgato Cam Link (4K). To process the video signal you can either use OBS Studio, the Windows Camera App or other apps to view a video source. The Export Wireless option is only compatible for mirroring to another Samsung monitor / TV.
