What Reflector 4 is
Reflector 4 is wireless screen-mirroring receiver software for macOS and Windows computers. It accepts AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast connections from iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Chromebook devices. Any number and combination of devices can connect at the same time, including streamed video, audio and other media. Users can record mirrored screens with voiceover audio, choose device frames, and emphasize, hide or show devices for presentations, teaching or tutorials. Connection prompts allow approval or denial, while on-screen AirPlay codes restrict access on compatible Apple systems. Reflector works with AirParrot through Quick Connect codes. The software is paid, with a listed license price of $17.99 per computer and a full-featured 7-day trial that displays a watermark until purchase. It requires macOS 10.15 or newer or Windows 10 or newer, a shared local network, and one license for each computer.
