Windows 10 Connect app is one of the built-in Windows 10 apps. It had a streaming feature that required a Continuum-enabled Windows 10 phone to get it working. It also allows other Miracast-enabled PCs to project to other PCs without needing a dock or Miracast adapter.
Miracast is a standard for wireless connections from sending devices (such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones) to display receivers (such as TVs, monitors, or projectors), introduced in 2012 by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It works like “HDMI over Wi-Fi”, and can be considered as an alternative connection to the cable from the device to the display.
Windows supports Miracast starting in Windows 8.1. The Connect app in Windows 10 turns the computer into a Miracast receiver, so you can cast another device’s screen to it directly bypassing your router or home wireless network. No special hardware is required as it uses Wi-Fi Direct.
The updated list of the removed and deprecated features in Windows 10 version 2004 now comes with the following note. The Connect app for wireless projection using Miracast is no longer installed by default, but is available as an optional feature. So, you need to install the app to make your PC work as a wireless display.
