Steps
Turn on your LG TV and your phone. Connect both to the same Wi-Fi network so they can find each other.
On the LG remote, press Home and open the Screen Share app, sometimes listed as Screen Mirroring.
On your Android phone, swipe down from the top to open the quick settings panel.
Tap Screen Cast, Smart View or Cast. The name varies by phone brand.
Wait for the phone to scan and pick your LG TV from the list of devices.
Tap Allow or Accept on the TV popup if one appears. Your phone screen now shows on the TV.
To stop, tap Disconnect on your phone or press Back on the TV remote.
Tips and common mistakes
If your TV does not appear, check that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi band, not one on 5 GHz and the other on 2.4 GHz.
Keep the phone close to the router during casting to reduce lag and dropped frames.
IPhone users need an LG TV with AirPlay 2 support and the Control Center Screen Mirroring button instead.
Questions
Why can't my phone find the LG TV?
Usually the two devices are on different networks or the TV's Screen Share app is not open. Restart both devices and try again.
Does screen casting need internet?
No. The phone and TV only need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, so local photos and videos still work without internet.
Can I cast an iPhone to an LG TV?
Only if your LG model supports AirPlay 2. Open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring and choose the TV.
