Screen mirroring

[Kcrowe4481]

Omg someone please HELP ME!!! ALL I WANT IS TO play my phone on my Samsung TV. 

SCREEN mirror, cast, Whatever

it may be. It's capable. I have a Pixel 7a. My TV will even do the split screen for like watching TV on left and on right play a game on your phone. That's what I want to do. Can anyone save me!??????

It tells me to use Smart view,btw Samsung app. I've downloaded it all and connected. 

So far, all I can get is audio , and that was without the Samsung app.

Not to worry, it's definitely confusing with all the options out there. What model of Samsung TV is it?

Some TVs have a feature called Miracast. This only works with some Android devices. iPhone and iPad don't support Miracast. The icon you see in apps looks very similar to the Chromecast/casting icon unfortunately.

Some TVs have AirPlay built-in. This only works with iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. You'll see a TV with an upward facing triangle at the bottom if the app supports AirPlay.

Chromecast, Chromecast with Google TV, and Google TV Streamer are separate media streaming devices you connect to a TV. This works with Android, iPhone and iPad devices, using Chromecast supported apps or casting a Chrome browser tab from a computer.

Some TVs have Google Cast built-in (formerly known as Chromecast built-in), meaning you don't need to buy a separate Chromecast. This works with Android, iPhone and iPad devices, using Chromecast supported apps or casting a Chrome browser tab from a computer.

Some TVs have a propriety sharing mechanism, such as Samsung Smart View. For help with those sharing methods, you'll need to contact the manufacturer directly, so Samsung in this case.
