I've been looking for this info for over a year! So many searches, different wording/search engines/platforms every few months. Thank you! Thank you so much for this video!
I was able to screen mirror from laptop to tv - it's profoundly pixelated and lags. Any tips appreciated.
Super excited I'm at least on the right path now with this video!

Thank you for a very thorough video. But....can we just talk about all that vinyl behind you? I'm a collector!
Agreed, very detailed
Whoa SOOOOOO interesting!!!! Been to your local thrift store or big box store lately? Not that uncommon of a sight nowadays with hipsters and wannabees all turning into vinyl collectors
@@lewokejames i don’t think someone would spend thousands of dollars on vinyl to make a good looking collection for the hell of it..
😅
Ok you welcome
Sounds like a promo video to me.. This outcome is easily achievable with just my huawei 7x and my 55 in sony bravia smart tv. As follows. Ensure tv wireless display is activated by navigating to it's icon. Then via mobile handset, select settings icon, then select 'device connectivity, then select' wireless projection'. At this point your tv's model and number should appear as an option, then select your model. Once this is done you should see your phones screen... Not sure if I initially had to pair my phone with the tv, however if so just follow the prompts. Please dont waste your money on anything other than the right phone and tv, it really is so straightforward and I find the quality is excellent.
Watching from a small village in Kerala India 🇮🇳. Power of connectivity!!
So glad I don't have to add another app to my iphone (as recommended by my LG tv). Thanks for the simple answer to mirroring.
You’re welcome Anne.
I love how there’s no answers to anybody’s questions, @Digital Trends Bang up job guys
🍷😆 SO UNDERRATED yet understandable!!
That was a complete vid and to the point. I am a guy new to this subject and this vid answered everything for me. Thanks!
How many of these damn how to vids do I have to watch before I find one that is not overly confusing.
Is there a SIMPLE vid that shows how this is done without someone going on and on too fast?
Same prob here
did you get it to work?
@@MsChantae
Yes I did! I found another video that was very simple and helpful.
I'll try to find it for you if you are looking for help....
@@hedkace I would love to see that video aswell!
@@hedkace thanks but I got it first try. I just played around with the options/buttons.
super helpful i was a little kid and f was always trying to do this but now my dreams can come true and share my movies with my family and my nona. so thankyou
Great video Caleb! I've always watched your videos for electronic help and suggestions. You explained how to screencast How do I change the TV into portrait mode. I've used the rotation on my Android device. Far as I know the images have to be rotated manually with a computer. Samsung has a Sero tv thats automatically changes from portrait to landscape. After I screencast from my phone how do I change it to portrait mode Is that possible to do? Thanks for the help! Great video btw! ❤
You spoke so fast and jumped around so much I had no idea what to do ie connect my android phone to a samsung tv
😂
Very helpful, now have a greater understanding of the mirroring process after listening to your UA-cam video thanks
With the addition of being able to connect controllers to your phone this can be an easier way to play your favorite games
2:03 how to go to that menu? & u mention TV's older than 3 yrs wont support mirroring? (wireless)
Very informative. I don't have a smart TV, do I need a Roku or can I just use the HDMI cable package on amazon it says that it is for mirroring or casting
Omg it worked for my iphone !!!! Thanks now i just have to get it to work for the Android they have better games
From a blind lady Tthank you
bozo 😭

When streaming UA-cam, Netflix etc on my Android phone, I want to 'cast' (or mirror) that to my smart TV. Do I need to have a common wifi network to both devices for this to work? (Sorry if I missed this in the video). I'd like it to work just if my phone is on Verizon data.
Thanks. Explained it well
I had to connect my smart tv to my hotspot and I’m having trouble mirroring Netflix and other streaming platforms. Any help on whether I can even do this or how would be appreciated thanks 🙏
Hi there I have a Samsung a50 and I bought the usb-c cable to HDMI little adapter and a ten foot cable to hookup my phone to the TV and it's not working?? Any suggestions on what I should try thanks I appreciate your help
Hello,
I just recently discovered the mirroring feature of my android phone. When I first used it, it worked fine. Well, I had to try to figure out on my own just how I got the feature to work and how to get it to come back on my TV, after turning both my phone and TV off for awhile. - I have an LG smart TV. - And, I was able to watch and listen to my phone on my TV at first. Then, after pressing a few buttons to try and figure out the way to make the mirroring feature work again, I began having trouble with the sound and picture coming from my phone to my TV. I believe I have the sound problem fixed, but, I'm still having trouble with being able to mirror the picture. All I can get to show is like a digital equalizer with dots showing/blinking while the sound plays over my TV speakers. Plus, at the top - right of that screen, it has SCREEN OFF next to an X. I'd like to be able to have the sound coming from my sound system I have hooked up to my TV. Mostly, though, I need to figure out how to mirror the picture again. Would you possibly know what I can try to do so that I will be able to view the picture again ? I appreciate your help and advice.
Thank you so much. Worked while I was watching your presentation. Thank you so much.
Very helpful. Thanks for showing this. Finally
Hi great video. But I have a sight problem I connect the Samsung S21 to the TV using a c-type and HDMI cable. It works in camera mode, but I can't hide or toggle the controls. The controls also appear on the tV. Trying to use this at our church with my s21 as a video camera. Is there a way to hide or toggle the controls in camera mode so they don't display on the screen? Thanks
Can you mirror to chrome browser from fire stick 4k max??
What's the best method(s) for a Samsung A12 to my Samsung smart-tv? Idk why the heck they took Mirroring feature out of it....I just had to retire my good ole trusty Note 2, that had it built right in and worked beautifully! The carriers are saying it's not compatible due to allegedly phasing out 3G, yet my Note 2 is 4G/LTE, they just do not want those great older phones being used! Far less tracking was built into them oldies compared to these newer phones!
Thank you for explaining with details of how to screen cast from a tablet to a TV screen. Your video helped me out.
Is there any way to cast one app to tv while you are using a different app on phone?
i love you for this thank you so much
Only one I can understand. Thanks so much.
This is a really thorough explanation.
Good instructions, it worked the first time for me.
Thank u this helped me and my family so much !!!!!!!!
I guess for me the key takeaway is"INTERNET ACCESS". DUE TO RECENT EVENTS I now only have internet access on my phone. My router is still connected however there is no internet broadcasting from it. So although my phone has internet access I cannot cast in any way shape or form that I know of to the TV directly. If there happens to be a solution I surely would like to know. Thanks.
Chromecast CAN do complete screen mirroring. All you have to do is when you go to cast in the settings of your Chrome web browser you can switch the source you're trying to cast to your tv. This can work with Windows or macOS. Your sources you can cast will be your current chrome tab, a file, or your desktop. Casting your desktop will basically mirror what's on your computer screen on the tv.
What a Legend, thank you. You just earned a thumbs up and a sub
What about the android options for the fire TV?
Suuuuper helpful, thank you so much for just getting to the point and including so many different options!
Agreed, very detail
Amazing and knowing is 1/2 the battle !
Hooray for displaying behind you the best (jazz) vocal album of all time!
it's a nice video but either i am missing something, I'm mirroring now but... i want to be able to use the iphone after mirroring starts... does that make sense?
How can I watch zoom horizontally? I have it unlocked, however, can’t get it horizontal. Thank you
How can you mirroring with both sound in TV and Phone?
Love the fact that he’s watching dgd lmao
Thank You 🙂
A silly question from my end, if my phone has lines on it's LCD (damaged screen), will it mirror the lines or damages too? I presume it shouldn't but I haven't tried at all.
it wont
Is there a way to do reverse mirroring for fire stick (not on a fire TV just with fire stick.)
Thank you so much for your witts !!! Sharing knowledge is exactly what we needed during this hurricane!
Well done! Thank you. Best wishes, health, joy, wellbeing…
What can u suggest for having landscape log. The HDMI works good and smooth but if will turn to landscape its got looged and does not work anymore :(
Does every item have to be linked to the internet to run programmes. I use tethering from my android phone.
Another (wired) option is a lightning to hdmi adapter. Because sometimes wifi sucks. Works for a hotel room tv too.
Thanks, very much for your knowledge!!!
Very informative.Thank you.🙏
Now that ive found the mirroring setting on my ruko tv this might sound stupid but mines not casting 🤷
Can I use UA-cam on my app and mirror screen that or is it limited only to videos and pics being shared?
Hi. I have an Android phone but when casting the voice is behind. Lip sync. But when I use my daughter's apple phone to do the same thing everything is perfect any ideas or should I buy a cheap Chromecast device of eBay or Amazon. I use 2019 Samsung TV Big up from Scotland 👌
My older macbook can't really play 4k, it stops, it loses frames, it just doesn't work (VLC player). if I cast it to chromecast will it play the video smoothly or is it also going to be crap? I want a chromecast for my projector but this a question that I just can't seem to find the answer on.
If I'm in my RV with no wifi network to connect to having only a power source a smart tv my cell phone and a chromecast dongle how would I go about mirroring ? My fiance had it working but she's now my x and I haven't got a clue how she did it nobody seems to be able to tell me how yet I know it can be done bcuz I saw her do it
Let's say I had to connect a Chromecast dongle to my phones hotspot. Would the data being used be comparable to that of streaming the content or would it use minimal data to maintain the connection to the Internet while the content is streaming from the cell phones data? I'm just wondering how much hotspot data would be used, if I solely relied on the hotspot for the Chromecast WiFi connection, while streaming a movie for an hour.
How do i know for sure that im not screen mirroring? Coz its easy to accidentally tap the screen morror button in control center... how do i know if im currently connected to a device for screen mirroring??
I just subscribed to your channel thank you so much oh my Gosh you made it so simple❤️
Great video Caleb and explanation of the various ways to cast and mirror Android and iOs screens to one's smart stick or smart TV.
I knew all about Miracast, Chromecast, MHL, AirPlay 2, Smart View (Screen Share etc) but didn't know about the Roku TV or Amazon Fire TV methods so great to know. And I sell TVs.
Many people out there don't know that mirroring or casting is possible or how to get to doing it. 👍👍👍
screen mirroring on roku allows you to see your whole phone on tv or just video like from UA-cam or media sites?
Can someone help me. I can't find the device name for my smart TV.
Thank you this is really helpful!!!
5:50 wiring phone to HDMI, casting and charging
Thank you so much
I have a new Oculus Quest 2 and a new LG with Air Play and Can't cast from Quest to TV I should be able to do this correct ?
Enyone else who don’t have those fancy tvs 🥲
How do you screen share to both TVs?
I have an LG Smart tv but I don’t have the Air play on it. My LG model 40UB800V need help what to do …
I've learned that the collective noun for more than one person is a 'bunch'.
Might be late but wow that Sky Children of Light is amazing on TV
Thanks Gang
I'm going to attempt to stream games from my PC at home to my phone via steam link (by valve) and then cast or mirror my screen to a tv to have a larger display. I'm sure the latency would be pretty bad but it's more of me just being curious to see if i can do it and use it when traveling.
would one of these methods be the way to go or is there a hardwired way i could see my phone displayed on a tv to achieve less latency?
Edit: i made this comment before you mentioned the cable at 5:48
I have an Unihertz Jelly 2E phone (Android 12), a 5 year old HDTV (not a Smart TV), an old USB mouse (I dont if it is USB 2.0 or 3.0) and a Sandisk Cruzer Glide 16 GB USB flash drive (bought in Nov. 2016 and I dont know if it is USB 2.0 or 3.0). I need to mirror the phone to the TV so I can have a bigger screen and dont have to look at the small phone screen all the time. The TV has a USB port and an HDMI port. I need to connect the mouse to the phone so I can look, tap and swipe on the TV instead of looking, tapping and swiping at the small phone screen. I need to connect the flash drive to the phone so I can access the files. The phone should be able to use the mouse, flash drive and mirror on the TV simultaneously. Can I use a hub with 4 USB ports where I can connect all 4 devices and all would work simultaneously? Or can I use a hub with 3 USB ports and 1 HDMI port? Can someone recommend 1 hub or equipment that is available at Walmart or Amazon that can handle these all at the same time. My phone has only 1 micro USB port so I dont think I can use more than 1 adapter at a time. Thanks.
When you don’t have an apple box or roku box I’ve been wanting to screen mirror on my tv for ages and I can’t figure out how to find in my settings in my tv to enable it lol
Thanks
Thanks for showing us that❤
He makes it sound rest yet prbly half the people including myself try to screen their Android to their tv have issues?
Thank you. That was very helpful.
I have a brand new Sony Bravia
XR A75L 65" OLED that got delivered today. My phone is a year old Motorola Moto G pure. I want to mirror what is on the phone on the TV. I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't do it. I can cast from an app like UA-cam but I can't mirror the phone.
I’m also stumped man
I found it useful
Very informative, thanks!
Since I had my s8 and my gzxd6450 like 3 or 4 rears ago I mirror my screen and videos that I Have on my phone
Sorry, can't do it with my old "smart" (they pulled support from the Samsung mirroring app) TV from my phone ... or to my first gen ROKU ... or from my Win7 computer ... not even an HDMI connector on this Toshiba computer... I can only think of getting a firestick or a Amazon stick ... a guest who stayed with us during covid showed me what the stick could do plugged into the HDMI port on the formerly smart TV. OK, I connected once ... using my girlfriend's new Win11 laptop ... it found the ROKU, but only UA-cam was allowed as a valid site to broadcast ... and the quality was quite bad ... about 1/4 quality.
Between a Samsung smart 49RU7100 and a Hisense 55B7300 which one is best to buy?
I don’t know what tvs your talking about but Samsung is better then Hisense 7/10 times you compare them
Can you do it with a Roku TV
still need help
because so many have CHEAP chromecasts
It Does NOT work on Android with Roku Ultra. I went to Settings, System, Screen Mirroring and selected Prompt and then went to the WIFI settings on my Galaxy Note 9 and selected WIFI Direct saw the Roku Ultra in the list selected it and it showed as connected, then my Roku Ultra prompted Always Allow, Allow, Block or Always Block, it then showed the Aipplay and Google Cast Icons and then said on the screen "Starting Video From Galaxy Note9".
No video plays and when I go to UA-cam , Facebook or even a video on my phone file and start a video it only plays on the Phone and if I select Cast it only shows my Vizio TV, No Roku Ultra. Also in the list of Always Allowed Devices.
Hey my tv is just smart tv not Samsun but iStronger model tv and I use iPhone I don’t have Apple TV so how can I simply mirror cast my Netflix from iPhone to tv as when I try to mirror cast the tv doesn’t show up
But on UA-cam using AirPlay it does match up and play on tv
Hi can i put my smartphone directly on video projector
Trying to make make my camera rotate to make it full size view(able to rotate camera app on my smartphone but doesn't rotate the display of phone but does rotate image. It gives you the shape of your phone but want to rotate image of phone and rotate camera image, using Chrome cast on a Samsung tv
