Описание и применение

Приложение WindowStream позволяет отображать окно Windows на любом устройстве с браузером по LAN без установки удалённого рабочего стола.

Задача

Need to display a single Windows application window on a tablet or another PC without installing remote‑desktop software.

Результат

The solution allows a single application window to be viewed on any device with a web browser over a LAN, providing a lightweight, view‑only stream without the need for remote‑desktop software.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install the WindowStream tray application on the Windows machine.
• 2. Select the target window to stream.
• 3. WindowStream starts an HTTP server that streams the window as MJPEG.
• 4. On the viewer device, open a modern web browser and navigate to the local network address provided by WindowStream.
• 5. Interact with the stream using pinch‑zoom, panning, or fullscreen.
• 6. Close the stream when finished.

Доказательства

Its a small Windows tray app that streams a chosen window as MJPEG over HTTP on your local network.

Источник

Any modern browser works as the viewer (Android, iOS, another PC), with pinch‑zoom, panning and fullscreen.

Источник

Two capture modes: a screen copy, or PrintWindow, which keeps streaming the window even when other windows cover it.

Источник

Light on resources: a frame is encoded only when the picture has changed, and JPEG encoding goes through libjpeg-turbo.

Источник

One caveat: there is no password or encryption, so its meant for trusted networks only, and the docs say so clearly.
