from your phone to your TV,

there are a few different options

depending on what type of phone and TV you have.

We will cover the basic screencasting options

for iPhones and Androids,

plus a bonus tip if you're using a Roku device.

If you have an Apple TV or a smart TV

compatible with AirPlay,

you can stream video from your iPhone.

If the app you are watching content on supports AirPlay,

you will see this icon, which is the Airplay icon.

Press it, then choose your Apple TV

or AirPlay-enabled device.

If you want to mirror your iPhone,

as in show the whole screen on a TV,

first, make sure to swipe down from the top right

to access your control menu.

If on an older phone, swipe up.

Then enable screen mirroring.

Choose the device you want to cast to.

In this example, we are using a Samsung TV.

You may be prompted to enter a passcode to proceed.

Now, you're mirroring your whole screen on your TV.

If you have an Android, casting to a Chromecast is easy.

Check out our video on how to use Chromecast

to learn all about it.

Once you have your Chromecast set up,

you can easily cast content from an app that supports it

by pressing the icon in the top right.

Your phone may also have options

to screencast to Chromecast-enabled devices

by swiping down on the quick-settings panel

and pressing "Screen Cast."

After pressing that button,

you can find and choose your device.

If you own a Roku, you can enable screen mirroring

by going to "Settings,"

then "System,"

then selecting "Screen mirroring."

Choose the permission you want to give the Roku device

when it comes to mirroring.

Now you can follow your normal screen-mirroring process

for your device.
