You can cast to a smart TV using various methods depending on the type of device you are using. Smart TVs are equipped with built-in casting capabilities, allowing you to mirror or cast content from your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to your TV screen.
One popular method is using a Google Cast device, such as a Chromecast or a TV with built-in Chromecast support. To cast to a Google Cast device, you can use the Google Home app on your Android device or the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
If you are using an Android device, start by opening the Google Home app. Scroll through the list of available devices until you find your Google Cast device, and select it. At the bottom of the screen, you will find the option “Cast my screen”. Tap on it, and your Android device’s screen will be mirrored on your smart TV. To stop casting, go through the same steps and select “Stop mirroring”.
On some Android devices, you may also have the option to screen share directly from the pull-down quick settings menu. Simply swipe down from the top of your screen to access the quick settings, look for the “Cast” or “Screen share” option, and select your Google Cast device from the list.
If you are using a computer, you can cast your screen to a Google Cast device using the Google Chrome browser. Make sure your computer and Google Cast device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Open Chrome, click on the three-dot menu at the top right corner, and select “Cast”. Choose your Google Cast device from the list, and your computer screen will be mirrored on your TV.
It’s worth noting that not all smart TVs use Google Cast technology. Some may have their own casting features built-in, such as Samsung Smart TVs with AirPlay 2 support. In such cases, you can use the respective manufacturer’s app or settings to enable casting from your smartphone or computer to the TV.
Casting to a smart TV is possible through various methods, including using a Google Cast device like Chromecast or built-in casting features on your smart TV. Whether you are using an Android device or a computer, you can easily mirror or cast your screen to enjoy content on the big screen.
