How to enable UIBC Mouse through UWP Miracast API?

Question

Hello!

I am developing a Miracast sink app following the UWP Miracast API documentation and managed to get projection with User Input Back Channel (UIBC) Keyboard working.

However, the API does not seem to implement mouse, only keyboard and game controller. A different question on Microsoft Learn made the Keyboard support apparent (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1111722/how-to-use-windows-media-miracast-api-to-develop-u), but Mouse support is still unclear.

I'm wondering whether this is simply a limitation of the UWP API or mouse can be implemented in a different way.

Thanks for your help

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

According to the documentation MiracastReceiverInputDevices, mouse is not supported yet.

I'd suggest you submit a feature request about this feature in the Feedback Hub. You could find the Feedback Hub in the Start Menu. Please select Developer Platform->API Feedback as the category when you submit your request. The related team will check the request.
