The media consumption is better on a television rather than on a cell phone due to the fact that it has a bigger screen. Though what if you wish to see photos or view videos saved on your smartphone on a larger display? For example, Android allows its users to easily link their phone’s screen with relevant smart TV.

There are different ways of mirroring an android screen to a Television depending on the kind of device one owns.

The quickest way to project the screen of your phone onto a smart TV is by making use of the built-in casting functionality in supported apps. When you are watching a video on YouTube, for instance, you will see that there is a rectangular icon with Wi-Fi insignia at the corner. Simply tap it and you shall be able to view all the devices that are compatible with which you can cast your video wirelessly.

While it is the most convenient thing to have, not all apps have this. In such instances, you can mirror your phone’s screen easily through Google Home App. However, before undertaking this task smoothly, there is a need to set up your Google Chromecast or smart TV with your Google account.

1. Once you have linked your Chromecast device or Chromecast-enabled Smart TV to your Google Account, you will be able to wirelessly cast from Android to your TV
2. Open the app of Google Home and go to tab Devices.
3. Choose the TV that you want the Android device mirrored on.
4. Tap Cast my screen then Cast Screen when it pops up.
5. Several phones may ask for permission first before initiating recording or casting which prompts one to tap Start now.

With that, literally anything playing on your smartphone will be replicated on a smart television. To stop casting, just swipe down from the top of the screen of your phone and find notifications. Finally click on “Casting” notification downwards arrow and select disconnect.

3. Then follow these two steps
4. Access the Smart View toggle in your Quick Settings panel in Samsung phones.
