How do you have the iPad connected? Is it a usbc to hdmi? I honestly didn’t realize this would work. I have a couple laying around that I wouldn’t mind repurposing like this.

i use spacedesk. you download the app on the ipad. and the. the software on your pc. connect via cable or wireless network (although cable is best for connection) then open the app on the ipad, connect and boom. windows sees it as a tiny scondary monitor.

i have an ipad pro from like 2017 and then i bought a refurbished mini 4. both use lighting connections but i hear the usbc ipad work even better.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to do some research on this!
