How to Mirror your Android or iPhone’s Screen to Chromecast

September 1, 2020 by Martin6

Chromecast is a handy way to enjoy the smartphone experience on the large display of your TV. If you’ve got yourself a dongle or a TV with built-in Chromecast, here’s how you can mirror your Android or iPhone’s screen to Chromecast.

Mirror your Android or iPhone’s Screen to Chromecast

Chromecast was launched a couple of years back, and Google has improved it a lot over generations. In fact, a lot of modern Smart TVs now come with Chromecast built-in to allow users to mirror their phone’s screen without the need for the separate dongle.

Now, while the process may vary based on your phone’s make & model, the method to use Chromecast is quite easy, particularly for Android. But before we start, make sure that the device is set up and connected to the same Wifi network as your phone.

Steps to Mirror Android’s Screen to Chromecast

Using Google Home

  2. On your Android, disable power saving mode (if enabled) and connect to the same Wifi network.
  3. Now, open the Google Home app.
  4. Scroll down and look for Other Cast Devices.
  5. Here, select your TV or Chromecast from the list of available devices.
  6. Tap on Cast my Screen at the bottom and confirm the prompt to begin mirroring.

That’s it. Your phone will now start mirroring its screen, and you’ll be able to enjoy videos, movies, games, and pictures on your TV. You can switch between portrait and landscape orientation using auto-rotation on your phone.

Built-in Casting

Alternatively, you can use your phone’s built-in screencasting feature to mirror its screen to Chromecast, as follows:

  1. Connect your phone and Chromecast to the same Wifi network.
  2. On your phone, drop down the notification panel and select the Screen Cast option from the quick setting tile. Different OEMs use different names like Smart View, Wireless Display, Miracast, etc.
  3. Once you tap the option, it’ll automatically show you available devices for casting. You can then select the Chromecast to start mirroring your phone’s screen.
