method:
Mirror the Surface Hub's display on another device.
Present another device's display on the Surface Hub screen and interact with both
the device's content and the built-in Surface Hub experience.
Power the Surface Hub from an external Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC, turning
off the embedded computer of the Surface Hub. Cameras, microphones, speakers,
and other peripherals, are sent to the external PC, in addition to pen and touch.
Guest Mode uses a wired connection, so people can display content from their devices
to the Surface Hub. If the source device is Windows-based, that device can also provide
Touchback and Inkback. Surface Hub's internal PC takes video and audio from the
connected device and presents them on the Surface Hub. If Surface Hub encounters a
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) signal, the source is displayed as a
black image. To display your content without violating HDCP requirements, use the
keypad on the right side of the Surface Hub to directly choose the external source.
Tip
Surface Hub will use the video input that you select until a new connection is made,
the existing connection is disrupted, or the Connect App is closed.
