Reflector 4 review
A focused desktop receiver for recording and showing screens from multiple devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Reflector 4 is desktop software for receiving wireless screen-mirroring and media-streaming connections from iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, Mac, and Windows devices. It is aimed at presentations, classrooms, demonstrations, and other settings where mobile or computer screens need to appear on a larger display. Because it acts as a receiver rather than a browser-based meeting service, it fits display mirroring and recorded demonstrations more closely than general-purpose online meetings.
Its main strength is the combination of broad device protocols and recording controls. Reflector 4 supports AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast, while also working with Reflector Director and Reflector Student. Multiple devices can be mirrored at the same time, and recordings can include voiceover audio, webcam video, and device frames. Full-resolution screenshots, on-screen connection codes, connection prompts, and controls for hiding, showing, and emphasizing devices add useful options for guided presentations or classroom demonstrations. The product's focus is narrower than a meeting platform, but its recording and display features are substantial for this use case.
The published pricing shows Mac Only and Windows Only plans at $19.99 one-time, with annual billing shown, and a 7-day free trial is available. The Universal plan provides one license for macOS or Windows, while the Reflector 4 + AirParrot 3 Bundle includes one universal license for each app and works on macOS and Windows. Reflector 4 is a good fit for buyers who need recorded, multi-device mirroring on a desktop receiver. Organizations seeking browser-based screen-sharing meetings or receiver support beyond Windows and macOS should choose an alternative.
