Show a single Windows application window in any web browser on LAN

说明与用途

WindowStream 通过 LAN 将 Windows 应用窗口流式传输到任何浏览器，实现仅查看功能，无需远程桌面软件。

问题

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

结果

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.

工作流

• 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.

证据

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

来源

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

来源

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

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

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