How to Cast Your Phone to a TV

Watching holiday photos or videos on the TV is more fun for everyone. There are several easy ways to get your phone on the big screen.

Chromecast and Google TV

1. Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi.
2. Open a supported app, like YouTube.
3. Tap the Cast icon and choose your TV.
4. To mirror your whole screen, use Google Home or the screen cast option in quick settings.

AirPlay (iPhone)

1. Make sure your TV or Apple TV supports AirPlay.
2. Connect both to the same Wi-Fi.
3. Open Control Centre and tap Screen Mirroring, or use the AirPlay icon in apps.

Smart TVs

Many smart TVs have built-in casting or mirroring. Check your TV's input or screen sharing settings.

Using a cable

A USB-C or Lightning to HDMI adapter connects your phone directly to the TV. It's reliable and doesn't need Wi-Fi.
