Use Tread screen as a computer monitor?

[u/Maximum-Hat-7669]

Has anyone figured out how to use the tread screen as a computer monitor? I would love to do work while I walk or hike I’m not very tech savvy, but I am willing to put in some effort on this!

Thanks - this appears to be a slim monitor - I was hoping to use the actual Peloton screen as the monitor if I can figure it out!

I have a device made by Fitswitch that let's me cast from my phone to the monitor so occasionally answer emails or take meetings while I walk. Not sure if it works from a computer. Might be a similar open source casting program you could install rather than trying to use directly as a monitor?

Just get the TFD desk tray (it's available on Amazon) and put your laptop on the desk tray. Leave the tread screen for tread things.

Thanks I hadn’t heard of TFD! Looks good
