Send a video to the big screen
Put what is on your phone onto the television across the room.
Casting tells the television to fetch the video itself. The phone hands over the address and becomes the remote.
Both must be on the same Wi-Fi. The picture never passes through the phone, so a call cannot interrupt it.
Key points
- Casting tells the television to fetch the video itself
- The phone and the television must share the same Wi-Fi
What to remember
- The small screen icon means the same in every app.
- Casting sends the address, not the picture.
Try this
Open a video app on your phone and find the small screen icon. It lists the televisions on your Wi-Fi.
