How to Screen Mirror on Your Samsung Smart TV

Screen mirroring is a convenient way to share content from your mobile devices or laptops to your Samsung Smart TV. Whether you want to watch movies, play games, or show off your vacation photos, screen mirroring makes it easy to enjoy them on a bigger screen.

Methods to Screen Mirror

1. Using Samsung SmartThings:

This is the most straightforward method and requires a Samsung SmartThings account. Ensure both your TV and mobile device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

On your Samsung Smart TV, navigate to the "Source" menu and select "Screen Mirroring."
Open the SmartThings app on your mobile device and tap the "Menu" icon.
Select "Smart View" and then choose your Samsung Smart TV from the list of available devices.

2. Using Quick Connect:

This method is available on select Samsung Smart TVs and mobile devices. It doesn't require a Samsung SmartThings account.

On your Samsung Smart TV, enable "Quick Connect" from the Settings menu.
On your mobile device, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings menu.
Tap on the "Quick Connect" icon and select your Samsung Smart TV.

3. Using Chromecast:

If your Samsung Smart TV supports Chromecast, you can use it to mirror content from Chromecast-enabled apps.

Make sure your Chromecast device is connected to your TV and the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device.
Open the Chromecast-enabled app on your mobile device.
Tap the "Cast" icon and select your Samsung Smart TV.

4. Using Miracast:

Miracast is a wireless display standard that allows you to mirror content from Miracast-enabled devices to compatible TVs. Most Samsung Smart TVs released after 2012 support Miracast.

On your Samsung Smart TV, navigate to the "Source" menu and select "Screen Mirroring."
On your Miracast-enabled device, go to the display settings and enable Miracast.
Your device should automatically detect your Samsung Smart TV. Select it to start mirroring.
