Android screen mirroring and casting to TV not connecting
Your phone and TV need to be on the same WiFi network and close enough to stay connected. Make sure your TV supports casting, both devices are on the same network, and restart your TV. If that doesn't work, restart your phone.
Screen mirroring and casting depend on your phone, TV, and WiFi network all talking to each other. If any one of them isn't set up right, the cast will fail. We'll check that your TV supports casting, both devices are on the same network, and clear any connection glitches.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Connecting to guest WiFi on the phone while the TV is on the main network. They need to be on the exact same network.
- Thinking the phone and TV need to be paired like Bluetooth. They don't. They just need to be on the same WiFi.
