How do I set my portable monitor to “180°” mode?

Updated on Jul 10, 2025

How do I enable “180° mode” or screen mirroring on my AURA monitor?

If you’re sitting across from a colleague, client, or friend and want to show them exactly what’s on your laptop screen, 180° Mode (also called mirroring mode) is the ideal setup. Instead of turning your laptop around, this feature allows you to duplicate your screen onto one of your AURA monitors — so the person sitting in front of you sees exactly what you do.

What is 180° Mode?

180° Mode mirrors your laptop’s main screen onto an external AURA monitor. It’s perfect for face-to-face discussions, collaborative work, or presentations — especially when using our dual or triple screen models, where one monitor can be rotated 180° to face your guest.

🧭 How to activate screen mirroring

🖥️ On macOS

Go to System Settings > Displays.
Click Display Settings to view all connected screens.
Hold the Option key and drag one display over the other to mirror them.
Or select the screen and enable “Mirror for Display”.
The AURA screen will now show the exact same content as your laptop.

🖥️ On Windows

Right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose Display settings.
Scroll to Multiple displays.
Select “Duplicate these displays” from the dropdown.
Choose which displays you want to mirror (e.g., your main laptop screen and an AURA screen).
Click Apply.
