Screen mirroring allows you to wirelessly share content from your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to your TV. While Apple TV is a popular option for screen mirroring, it's not the only one. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to screen mirror without Apple TV:

Using a Chromecast

Chromecast is a streaming device that plugs into your TV's HDMI port. It allows you to screen mirror devices running Google's Android operating system or those supporting the Cast feature. Simply connect your Chromecast to your TV and Wi-Fi network, and follow these steps:

Open the Google Home app on your Android device or Chrome browser.
Select the "Cast" icon (a rectangle with three curved lines) in the top-right corner.
Choose your Chromecast device from the list and your device's screen will be mirrored to your TV.

Using an Amazon Fire TV Stick

Fire TV Stick is another streaming device comparable to Chromecast. It's compatible with Amazon's Fire TV platform and Android devices. To screen mirror using a Fire TV Stick:

Connect your Fire TV Stick to your TV and Wi-Fi network.
From your Android device, open the "Settings" menu.
Select "Connected Devices" and then "Screen Mirroring."
Choose your Fire TV Stick from the available devices to start screen mirroring.

Roku is a popular streaming platform that offers devices for screen mirroring. To use a Roku for screen mirroring:
