Cast screen / screen mirroring to TV not working on Android
Cast Screen needs your phone and TV on the same WiFi network. Check that both are connected to the same WiFi, that Bluetooth is on, and that your TV actually supports casting. Most modern smart TVs work. If they're on the same WiFi and still won't connect, restart both devices.
Cast Screen lets you show your phone screen on a TV through a cast receiver or smart TV. If it's not working, the phone and TV aren't on the same WiFi network, or the TV doesn't support it. We'll check both devices and make sure they're connected.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Connecting the phone to a guest WiFi network and the TV to the main network. They must be on the exact same network
- Thinking the feature is broken when the TV just doesn't support casting. Check if your TV has built-in casting or needs a separate cast device
- Turning off Bluetooth and not realizing Cast needs it to discover devices
- Having the TV off and wondering why it doesn't show up in the cast list
Signs you need professional help
- If your phone and TV are on the same WiFi, Bluetooth is on, your TV supports casting, and you've restarted both devices and it still won't connect, give us a call and we'll check your network settings.
