#1 What is Screen Mirroring and how do I use it with my Samsung TV and Samsung mobile device?
Screen mirroring, also known as screen casting, allows you to view content from your mobile device on your TV screen. This means that you can start watching your favourite show on your commute and then immediately continue it on the big screen when you walk through the door. The SmartThings and Smart View apps make it quick and easy to connect to your Samsung Smart TV, but you can also connect through a Wi-Fi or HDMI connection. Read on to find out how to connect your phone and how to cast to your TV.
To be able to screen mirror wirelessly, your TV will need to be able to support a Wi-Fi connection. If you don't have a smart TV, you will need a casting device such as a Samsung AllShare Cast, Chromecast or Amazon Firestick.
Please note: the process of sharing your screen to a TV differs depending on the make and model of both your TV and device. The following instructions are for sharing the screen of any mobile device to a Samsung TV. Find out more about sharing your screen to a non-Samsung TV.
