Abstract

Disclosed herein is a technique for selectively broadcasting content to a destination device. An operating system (OS) executing on a source device is configured to generate an OS user interface (UI) and execute a plurality of applications, where each application of the plurality of applications is configured to generate a respective application UI. The source device receives a selection of a broadcast profile that identifies at least one application of the plurality of applications whose respective application UI should not be displayed at the destination device. In response to receiving the selection, a configuration of the source device is updated to cause: 1) the OS UI, but not the application UI associated with the at least one application, to be broadcasted to the destination device, and 2) the OS UI, as well as the application UI associated with the at least one application, to be displayed at the source device.
