Answered by Robert Flynn

You can definitely connect your laptop to your TCL Roku TV wirelessly. In fact, there are a few different methods you can use to achieve this.

One of the easiest ways to wirelessly connect your laptop to your TCL Roku TV is by using the built-in screen mirroring feature. This feature allows you to mirror the display of your laptop onto your TV screen, essentially turning your TV into a second monitor for your laptop.

To use screen mirroring, both your laptop and your TCL Roku TV need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Here’s how you can enable screen mirroring on your TCL Roku TV:

1. On your TCL Roku TV, go to Settings by pressing the Home button on your remote and navigating to the gear icon.
2. Scroll down and select System.
3. Choose Screen mirroring and select Enable screen mirroring.

Once screen mirroring is enabled on your TV, you can proceed to connect your laptop to it. The steps to enable screen mirroring on your laptop may vary depending on the operating system you’re using. Here are the general steps for Windows and macOS:

For Windows:

1. Press the Windows key + P on your keyboard to open the Projection settings.
2. Select the Connect to a wireless display option.
3. Your laptop will start searching for available devices. Select your TCL Roku TV from the list of available devices.

For macOS:

1. Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select System Preferences.
2. Choose Displays and navigate to the Arrangement tab.
3. Check the box next to Mirror Displays to enable screen mirroring. Your laptop should now be mirrored on your TCL Roku TV.

Once the connection is established, you should see your laptop’s display mirrored on your TV screen. You can now use your TV as a second monitor, making it great for watching movies, presentations, or simply extending your desktop.

Another wireless option to connect your laptop to your TCL Roku TV is by using a casting tool like AirDroid cast. AirDroid cast allows you to cast your laptop’s display to your TV wirelessly, even without being on the same Wi-Fi network. It uses a remote connection, which can be convenient if you’re not at home but still want to connect your laptop to your TV.

To use AirDroid cast, you’ll need to install the AirDroid app on both your laptop and your TCL Roku TV. Once installed, you can follow the on-screen instructions to establish a connection between the two devices. Once connected, you’ll be able to cast your laptop’s display to your TV effortlessly.

Connecting your laptop to your TCL Roku TV wirelessly is indeed possible. Whether it’s through the built-in screen mirroring feature or using a third-party casting tool like AirDroid cast, you can easily enjoy the convenience of using your TV as an additional display for your laptop.
