Steps
Connect your phone and your TV to the same Wi-Fi network. Casting usually fails when the two devices sit on different networks or one uses mobile data.
On an Android phone, open the quick settings panel by swiping down from the top of the screen twice.
Find the Cast, Smart View or Screen Mirroring button and tap it. The name depends on your phone brand.
Wait for the list of nearby TVs to load, then tap your TV's name to start mirroring.
On an iPhone, open Control Center and tap the Screen Mirroring icon, which looks like two overlapping rectangles.
Pick your TV or Apple TV from the list. If your TV has no AirPlay, use the TV maker's app or a casting device instead.
Check the TV screen and accept any prompt that appears, such as an allow or pairing request.
Turn the phone sideways for videos so the picture fills more of the TV screen.
To stop, tap the Cast or Screen Mirroring button again and choose Stop or Disconnect.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep both devices close to the router to reduce lag and dropped frames.
Some apps block mirroring for copyright reasons, so use the app's own cast button when it has one.
Turn off battery saver on the phone if the cast option is missing or greyed out.
Questions
Why does my TV not show up in the cast list?
Check that the phone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network and that the TV is switched on. Restarting the router or the TV often fixes a missing device.
Can I cast without Wi-Fi?
Some Android phones support a direct connection or a cable, but most casting needs a shared Wi-Fi network. A wired adapter is the most reliable fallback.
Does screen mirroring drain the battery?
Yes, mirroring keeps the screen and Wi-Fi radio busy, so battery drops faster. Keep the phone plugged in for long sessions.
