    Just some things I found out that he did not cover. If using 2 laptop's and no desktop, you will see an on/off button only use to projection to another computer when computer is plugged into power. You can switch this on and off depending how you use it. Also I had to have wireless display installed on both laptops.

    If you don't already have a monitor for your desktop, there's the capture card method - basically a HDMI to USB converter. That will allow your desktop to connect to the laptop as a "camera" and you can view its output as camera output.
    If you do have a temporary monitor though - this method is certainly better. Note that it assumes your desktop has wireless capability, which not all desktops have.
