How to Share Videos from a Windows 10 PC
Introduction
Before You Begin:
- Have your computer and the device you wish to stream to ready.
- Both devices must be connected to the same home network.
- For social streaming services, you must already have an account set up.
Streaming Video Alternate Methods
Streaming video from your computer to another device isn't complicated, but it does require some setup. It's best to be sure this is the best solution for you before moving forward.
Online Streaming Services
Online Streaming Services such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube do not need to be streamed through your computer to another smart device. Virtually every smart device, such as your Smart TV, streaming media stick, smartphone, tablet and others has a direct way to access these online services.
Disk-Based Media
Disk-based media, such as DVDs and Blu-ray disks are designed with Digital Rights Management (DRM) that restricts how they are displayed. For the most part, this means you can go from the player (the computer, in this case) to one and only one screen (your computer monitor, in this case) at a time. You will not be able to further stream this video to a television, smartphone, or other device.
