How do I share my screen on my Samsung TV?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To share your screen on your Samsung TV, you can use the SmartThings app, which allows you to mirror your device’s screen onto your TV. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Start by turning on your Samsung TV and making sure it is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your smartphone or tablet.

2. Open the SmartThings app on your mobile device. If you don’t have the app installed, you can download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

3. Once you have the app open, you will see a list of devices that are connected to your SmartThings account. Look for your Samsung TV in the list and select it.

4. After selecting your TV, you will see the device’s details and options. Tap on the “More options” button, which is represented by three vertical dots.

5. From the drop-down menu that appears, select the “Mirror Screen” or “Smart View” option. This will initiate the screen mirroring process.

6. Your TV will now display a message indicating that it is ready to receive a screen mirroring connection. On your mobile device, a list of available devices to mirror to will appear. Choose your Samsung TV from the list.

7. Once you’ve selected your TV, the screen mirroring process will begin. The screen of your mobile device will be replicated on your TV, allowing you to view and interact with your device’s content on a larger screen.

It’s important to note that the exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the model of your Samsung TV and the version of the SmartThings app you are using. However, the basic process should remain the same.

In my personal experience, I have found screen mirroring to be a convenient feature when I want to share photos, videos, or presentations with others on a larger screen. It’s particularly useful for viewing media content or playing games on a big screen, providing a better viewing experience.

To summarize, sharing your screen on your Samsung TV can be easily done through the SmartThings app. By following the steps mentioned above, you can enjoy the benefits of screen mirroring and enhance your multimedia experience.
