Digital Living Network Alliance

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a set of guidelines (standards) to make it easier for people to connect and share media between different devices. It helps you share music, photos, movies, and other digital files over a home network. DLNA works by allowing different devices - like computers, smartphones, game consoles, and TVs - to talk to each other. This means that you can stream videos from your laptop (or smartphone) to your TV.
