While I'm sure this video will help many people unfortunately neither my phone nor my TV have any screen mirroring capabilities, I can only screen cast (which is different) YT videos using DLNA And a chromecast dongle is too expensive so i would rather just get a USBC to HDMI cable Thank you for the detailed video

Thanks for your comment I thought long and hard about whether to include DLNA in this video because it's really great if it works in your application with your devices. I use it every day because neither a Chromecast video dongle nor Airplay (or Sonos for that matter) will play music above 48Khz sample rates. Unfortunately the implementation from manufacturers is patchy. Some don't work properly due to bugs, Some use the DLNA protocols for their branded systems but intentionally make sure competitors products don't inter-operate. In the end I realized that including DLNA in this video would confuse more than it would inform and left it for another day. Thanks again for the comment I really appreciate the feedback and ideas for future videos.

Hi Matej, There are many receivers on the market that can provide for wireless screen mirror. These were designed for PCs and they all have different limitationswhen used with phones. Some require a matching transmitter, some need an HDMI or other adapter to be added to your phone, and some lack content protection and don't work with all video content. Because of the bewildering array of limitations and exceptions I have chosen not to test any of these devices. If you decide to try, make sure it works for your specific phone version, and supports all the things you want to do. And make sure you understand if you need any kind of adapter for your phone.

Great vid, unfortunately my samsung phone does not have smart view on it. Just my sort of luck.!!!

@rogergadgetguy

Hi Since you were able to cast to another Roku TV it appears that your phone does support miacast which is the technology Roku uses, but not all Android phones support.. Try going to the settings and and under "screen mirroring mode" select "Always Allow" If screen mirror still doesn't work you may have incompatible versions on your phone and TV miracast is quite a minefield of different implementations. You may still be able to play personal videos photos and songs stored on your phone using the "Play on Roku" feature of the Roku Mobile app.

Hi Lucy, I just noticed that you also posted a different question about your remote control This answer may address both your questions. Your TV and phone support different incompatible forms of screen casting. To use your phone with your TV you will need to add a Chromecast enabled device this means either the confusingly named "Chromecast with Google TV" or an Android TV box from another manufacturer . You may also prefer the user interface and the remote control of these devices to the Web OS installed on your TV.

Hi, Miracast on a TV will not work with most phones. It won't work with iPhones and it mostly doesn't work with Android. The only situation I'd really recommend using Miracast is Samsung Phones on a Samsung TV where Samsung have made some updates to both the TV and phones to get it to work right. The only really dependable way to screen mirror with a non Samsung Android phone is to use Chromecast. Fortunately you can do this on any TV by plugging an external device into a spare HDMI port. There is a Google TV stick, the Onn Streaming Stick which supports chromecast that costs only $15 I've tested it and it works great for screen mirror with Android. Any Android phone that is less than 6 years old phone will mirror to it using the Google Home App. Here's a link to the streaming stick; www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-New-2023/2262757145?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1755&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222772262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=aud-2225087347667:pla-394283752452&wl5=1014129&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo60BhBiEiwAHmVLJZAI4QDtPwv6blxhqAdOpJimpKI5WtO-I0KpGqt3Ic-7EXvAnN6ObRoCdn0QAvD_BwE

Alternatively you could use a chromecast or android TV stick Full HD versions of these can be purchased for less than $30.

Hi Lucinda Not having screen cast in the pull down menu is not a big deal if you have a TV with Google TV or chromecast or you have a Google TV or chromecast device attached. Just look for the chromecast symbol in the app you want to use, and select the TV you want do cast the content to. This is better than screen mirroring because the app formats the content for the TV screen better, you don't get texts or alerts popping up on the big screen and the phone gets freed up for other things. You can be sending and receiving texts and your casted content keeps playing. If your TV doesn't have Google TV or Chromecast You can add it with a device like this for just $15! www.walmart.com/ip/Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-NEW-2023/2262757145?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1630&adid=222222222772262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=9032666&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&wl13=1630&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=222222222372262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=9032666&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5cOwBhCiARIsAJ5njuYwm6G-_W2_eMF3ENNwgcLMUfW8uWFMgSN-Tnzv_k_Sftn7P1kHlo8aAutxEALw_wcB I've tested this streaming stick it works great!

@rogergadgetguy

Hi Adam, You have to be able to establish some kind of communication between the Phone and TV. The iPhone has a lightning connector, bluetooth WiFi and cellular phone connections. A non smart TV has HDMI and maybe component or composite video. There is no overlap so you will need something to translate between the two. The answer to whether it is possible without buying anything depends on what you already have (a Roku streamer or apple TV for example). If you do not already have any means to make the connection then the cheapest way to mirror an iPhone to a non smart TV is to use a lightning to HDMI adapter and connect to an HDMI input on the TV.. An adapter like this one is $10 www.amazon.com/Certified-Lightning-Digital-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0CPJJ1DZ5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=ybjiQ&content-id=amzn1.sym.d0ebfbb2-6761-494f-8e2f-95743b37c35c%3Aamzn1.symc.50e00d6c-ec8b-42ef-bb15-298531ab4497&pf_rd_p=d0ebfbb2-6761-494f-8e2f-95743b37c35c&pf_rd_r=DWZRRN6BQG67QQV5XAJ4&pd_rd_wg=ZSAZ0&pd_rd_r=b449f1b2-71f6-4344-8211-e3ef2502a94a&linkCode=ll1&tag=rogergadgetgu-20&linkId=b1e995595127a8cf3cd65a460a604905&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

I do see a lot of frustration with the home app in online reviews so you are not alone. For most Phone/TV use cases it is actually easier to chromecast directly from whatever app you are using instead of setting up screen mirroring. Chromecasting from the app also has the advantage of better formatting of the content for the TV screen, and not showing alerts and texts on top of whatever you are playing on the TV. If you tap the chromecast symbol in an app and you still don't see your device, the usual reason is the specific network enviroment. If you have more than one router or range extender(s) installed, then device discovery may not work at all or be very patchy. I used to get this a lot untill I replaced my various band aids to get WiFi into every corner of my home with a WiFi mesh system. The mesh system easily covers the whole house and looks like a single subnet to all the devices.

In 2024, none of these apps is free. I am not sure I understand the logic of having to pay for an app to cast photos from a Samsung smartphone to a Samsung tv, or from Google photos to KZread Tv. Does a subscriber have to PAY for every single feature s/he desires to use in these systems?

You do not need a smart TV. This video covers Any TV with HDMI If you want to be precise I could have said any TV made in the last 20 years. If your TV predates HDMI there are still ways but they are a bit Klugy and I really didn't think there would be enough interest to put them in the video. If your TV has HDMI then just add a chromecast (or a Fire TV) I show that in the video. You only need the cheaperst versions since no TV that is not a Smart TV will need more than 1080p resolution. If chromecast or Fire TV is too costly then I found this stick for $15 that works just as well. www.walmart.com/ip/Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-NEW-2023/2262757145?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2925&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222772262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-394283752452&wl5=1014129&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw3NyxBhBmEiwAyofDYeAJ-RXH6ghMm94C32e23OZ_3gB1ELUVxnKAHnwE6ckbhhhZxbq0JhoC3-wQAvD_BwE
