Situatie
Gathering people around your phone to show off a picture or video can be a pain, but thanks to Android and Chromecast, it doesn’t have to be. We’ll show you how to wirelessly mirror your Android phone or tablet’s screen to a TV. Before we get started, it should be mentioned that mirroring your screen might not be the best method to share content on a TV. Many video and photo apps allow you to “cast” to a Chromecast-enabled device. This will be a much nicer experience than mirroring your screen.
For all of those other situations, mirroring your screen is a handy trick to know. There are a few things that you’ll need:
- An Android phone or tablet running Android 5.0 or later.
- An Android TV or Chromecast-enabled device.
Solutie
We’ll start with the easiest method, which isn’t available on all devices. On your Android phone or tablet, swipe down from the top of the screen once and then a second time to expand the Quick Settings toggles.
Find the toggle labeled “Screen Cast” and tap it.
This will bring up a list of devices that you can mirror your screen to. Select the one that you want. A message will explain that all of the information visible on your screen will be available to the service. Tap “Start Now” if you agree.
You will now see your screen on the receiving device. To stop casting your screen, swipe down from the top of the screen and tap “Disconnect” on the cast notification.
