How about revamping the iOS and Android apps remote portions to turn into a second screen along with the remote?  In other words, when I use my iOS app to control my player another device such as my Mac could we make the app automatically turn into a second screen and display in addition to a remote, some of the following: - Meta data such as synopsis, actors, directors and other iMDB info - an integrated web browser so when I click on one of the above I can get more info from the web - Social Media integration so I can post what I'm watching to Facebook or Twitter (that could also grow interest in Plex) - Remote functions (of course have the remote integrated so it's all in the same area) - Change audio, subtitles on the fly - Look up info for the next show in the series.  Maybe when the TV show ends, prompt to play the next one The list can go on and on, but I think it would be cool to use a second screen when using Plex HT. Anyone agree? ---

Great idea. The possibilities are indeed endless. ---

Sorry for the duplicate. I read the forum rules, tried to make sure this idea wasn't already out there, did a search and couldn't see this one.  I guess that's what I get for posting in the middle of the night. lol ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Mobile device als second screen](https://forums.plex.tv/t/mobile-device-als-second-screen/23924): > > Hey guys, I thought is would be a cool thing to use your mobile device as a second screen. A cool way to do so, would be in Microsoft style. When you play a video on one device, you can get all the information about the movie/tv show/whatever you’re watching on a second screen. This is pretty cool! So, what if you could connect to the same server with your mobile device, and get an extra option: second screen. When you use this option, you get all the clients using the server… ---
