無線原生:使用 AirPlay 投影 iPhone/iPad 畫面到電腦

如果您在投影時,iPhone 和 Macbook 都位於家庭或辦公室同一空間內,並能連上同一個 Wi-Fi 網路,那麼 AirPlay 會是流暢便捷的推薦選擇。

該方法深度整合於蘋果生態系,特別適合擁有新款 Mac 的用戶,能讓您一鍵實現 iphone 音畫投影到 mac,完美滿足居家觀看影片與工作中快速演示的需求。然而,若您身處Wi-Fi信號複雜、容易干擾的環境,或需要跨不同網路進行遠端投影,AirPlay 的連線穩定性可能無法滿足需求,建議您優先考慮 DeskIn 等適應性更強的第三方方案。

優點:

小貼士:為什麼我的 iPhone 在「螢幕鏡像輸出」裡搜不到我的 Mac?

一些较旧的设备可能不支持此功能,開始投影前請確認 iPhone 为 iPhone 4 及更新机型(iOS 14 以上),而 Mac 则需要是 2018 年及之后的机型并运行较新的 macOS,其次請確認設備連接到同一個網路。

如果還是不行,可以嘗試打開「設定」> >「一般」> >「AirDrop」,選擇「開放所有人」,即可成功。

Top 5 Portable Work Essentials for Remote & Hybrid Workers (2026 Guide)

Top 5 Portable Work Essentials for Remote & Hybrid Workers (2026 Guide)

The world of work has fundamentally changed. The modern office is no longer just a fixed cubicle; it’s a dynamic, ever-changing space, from a bustling airport lounge to a quiet home office, or a local coffee shop. For remote and hybrid professionals, staying productive and healthy requires more than just a laptop. A curated set of portable tools is important to provide ergonomics, performance, and accessibility for hybrid-work productivity. 

To truly master the art of working anywhere, here are the five must-haves that transform any location into a high-performance workspace.

1. Lightweight and Portable Laptop Stand (Nexstand)

Poor posture is the silent enemy of mobile workers. Hunching over a laptop quickly leads to neck strain and back pain. The fix is simple: elevate your screen to eye level with a laptop stand.

Key features include:

  • Transforms your laptop into a desktop monitor by lifting the screen six inches or more

  • Ultralight and foldable, packs down to the size of a water bottle

  • Pairs seamlessly with an external keyboard for a complete ergonomic setup

  • Protects your neck and shoulders during long work sessions

With Nexstand’s K1 or K2 laptop stand, you can easily slip a professional-grade workstation into any bag and bring it anywhere. Enjoy an extra 10%OFF any Nexstand product with the promo code NEXSTAND10, and start working more comfortably wherever you go.

Lightweight and Portable Laptop Stand (Nexstand)

2. High-Performance Remote Desktop Software (DeskIn)

Physical comfort is only half the equation, performance matters too. Many remote workers rely on powerful desktop applications, large files, or multi-monitor setups that aren’t easily replicated on a lightweight laptop. That’s why a powerful remote desktop software like DeskIn is needed. 

Key features include:

  • Seamless, high-definition, low-latency remote access

  • Runs demanding applications like software, design and editing tools from anywhere

  • Supports multi-monitor workflows for complex projects

  • Screen extension feature lets you use a tablet or phone as a second display

DeskIn ensures you never compromise power for portability. Pair it with Nexstand, and you get both posture and performance, wherever you are.

3. Compact Keyboard & Mouse

Once your laptop is elevated, the built-in keyboard and trackpad are no longer practical. A portable keyboard and mouse complete the ergonomic work setup.

  • Lightweight Bluetooth mechanical keyboard for speed and comfort

  • Wireless portability makes them easy to carry and set up anywhere

  • High-capacity power banks (20,000mAh+) ensure laptops and phones stay alive during travel or in outlet-scarce locations

With these, you’ll never be caught off guard by a dead battery.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing: Why DeskIn Beats AnyDesk, TeamViewer & Parsec

Remote work didn’t just change how teams collaborate: it transformed how game testing gets done.

Today’s QA teams are global, developers work across time zones, and playtests happen far beyond a single studio. That makes screen sharing no longer optional, but essential. The challenge is that most remote tools weren’t built for real gameplay. They lag, drop frames, and blur the details QA teams rely on.

DeskIn is different. It’s engineered for high-FPS visuals, ultra-low latency, and accurate gameplay feedback, making it a modern screen-sharing solution built specifically for remote game testing and remote gameplay.

Let’s break down why DeskIn is quickly becoming the best screen-sharing tool for game developers, and why tools like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and even Parsec fall short for serious QA work.

 Best Screen Sharing for Game Testing

Real Use Cases in Game QA & Development, Why Need a Screen Sharing Tool?

Remote screen sharing has moved from a "nice-to-have" to a critical, indispensable tool in modern game Quality Assurance (QA). Its adoption is driven by fundamental shifts in how games are developed, tested, and collaborated on.

Here’s a breakdown of why it's now essential:

  • Real-time bug reproduction
    QA shares live gameplay while developers observe inputs and system behavior, allowing issues to be reproduced and fixed immediately: no back-and-forth recordings required.

  • VFX and visual review
    Teams review lighting, shaders, and effects with crisp color accuracy during screen sharing for game testing, without compression hiding defects. 

  • Remote prototype playtesting
    Testers play early builds remotely, enabling fast feedback without large downloads or complex setup using remote game testing software.

  • Cross-play testing (mobile & PC)
    Teams can test mobile and PC gameplay side by side, mirroring mobile screens to desktop while validating controls, UI behavior, and performance across platforms, an essential use case for remote QA tools.

  • Animation timing review
    Animation teams benefit from high-FPS streaming to review movement and timing frame by frame. Subtle issues in transitions, hit reactions, or camera motion are easier to spot when playback is smooth and accurate.

  • Multiplayer latency testing
    QA can conduct latency and synchronization tests while developers watch live sessions. This helps teams identify network-related issues faster using effective remote dev tools.

  • Secure external QA access
    External QA partners can securely access builds and testing environments through DeskIn, making collaboration smoother while keeping pre-release content protected.
