Extended display without Stage manager

I would like to extend my display on an external computer but my iPad Air 4 doesn’t support Stage Manager. Is there a solution, maybe using an app ? I can only mirror my screen on the external screen.

thanks for your help.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

While an iPad can be used as an extended desktop for a Mac (using Apple's Sidecar feature) or a Windows PC using a third-party App (such as Duet Display), the reverse is not supported.


An iPad that doesn't support Stage Manager can only mirror its display to a connected TV using AirPlay or a wired connection - using and appropriate HDMI or VGA Adapter as appropriate.
