I downloaded Amazon Prime Video content to my Pixel 4a. I can view on my phone, but without Wi-Fi I have been unable to cast to my TV screen. Does the Chromecast with Google TV prevent me from casting my phone's screen without an active internet connection?</P> Sun, 16 Jan 2022 18:12:43 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85014#M8880 nebulous 2022-01-16T18:12:43Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85051#M8887 <P>Casting works only if both the Chromecast device and the phone are connected to the same WiFi network, on the same bandwidth.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 16 Jan 2022 19:06:47 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85051#M8887 djtetei 2022-01-16T19:06:47Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85284#M8917 <P>Thanks so much for your response, djtetei.</P><P>If I understand you correctly, the data would flow as follows:</P><P>Pixel 4a -&gt; 802.11a -&gt; WiFi Router without internet connection -&gt; 802.11a -&gt; Chromecast with Google TV device -&gt; HDMI -&gt; Set top box screen</P><P>Even though the WiFi router in the configuration above is not connected to the internet, the Pixel 4a screen can be cast to the big screen?</P> Mon, 17 Jan 2022 02:59:51 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85284#M8917 nebulous 2022-01-17T02:59:51Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85323#M8918 <P>Sorry, I ommited the fact that you want to cast some locally downloaded content.</P> <P>In this case, you can use screen mirroring.</P> Mon, 17 Jan 2022 04:38:10 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/85323#M8918 djtetei 2022-01-17T04:38:10Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/86198#M8971 <P>Perfect!&nbsp; Much thanks for your help, djtetei!</P> Tue, 18 Jan 2022 04:33:19 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/86198#M8971 nebulous 2022-01-18T04:33:19Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Am-I-prevented-from-casting-my-phone-screen-without-an-active-internet/m-p/86478#M9013 <P>Hey there!<BR /> <BR /> It looks like djtetei was able to help out nebulous, so I'm locking the thread.
