Hi, bro. I have a question, when you mirror an Android device to a 4k resolution TV, what's the resolution that I'm gonna have on the TV? 1080,1440 or 2160? Does it depends on the device? Thanks on advance.
Man I've tried everything but my google home app doesn't have that layout and cast option right there on top as you have shown. I'm trying to set it up for my parents and they're running android 5.0. Is this why?

Hello Brett.. need to know if I can take a samsung tablet with a Chrome cast device and 1: connect the VPN- canada 2: open an app with the TV channels in Canada 3: select the channel i want to watch and mirror it with the Chromecast on the tv . My neighbor do that with a IPAD and a Apple TV . Thanks
Do you have the option to listen the videos on your headsets connected to the phone instead of the tv ? Similar to the "private listening" option of ROKU . Thanks
When you mirror you are only burning enough data for Chromecast to download the player, correct? The actual content displayed on the screen is only going from your phone (or tablet, pc, whatever) to the Chromecast over the local wifi, correct? That is important if you are using your phone as a hotspot and data is limited.
Hi Brett! Not sure you are checking this post, but just bought a Chromecast (January 2022) as I was advised this was the only way to mirror my phone onto my TV. I have a Samsung Smart TV and Samsung Phone (a52). I cannot find any mirror or cast function on the Chrome Cast App on my phone. Is this feature even on the newest Chromecast? Thanks Brett if you get this and any help given!
How well does it mirror when you are doing a video & audio recording using the phones camera? Any lagging seen on the TV? I have tried with a Samsung S7 Edge using Smart View mirroring to a Samsung TV with a Firestick (1st gen) attached and it lagged like crazy. In addition, even the video that was created and stored on the phone had intermittent audio (the video played okay) when I played it on the phone without mirroring.
No, you need a wifi network for the Chromecast to work. You can use your phone as a hotspot and have the phone and Chromecast on that wifi network. But the bottom line is the Chromecast MUST be connected to a wifi network that has access to the internet.
Does your phone's speakers still work when you are mirroring? What about if you have headphones or a Bluetooth speaker connected to your phone? For example Bluetooth headphones and a monitor with no speakers (or on mute)?
Thank you very much I have a chromecast 2 and was looking the way to do this, and your explanation is very clear. I can see all from my device now on my LCD 2011. Greetings from Ecuador
Great video, I recently purchased a chromecast for use in my rv. If I am away from phone service, and away from wifi is it possible to "mirror" my phone to the chromecast and watch things that I have saved on my phone? Or do I absolutely need wifi?
I connected my PS4 controller to my phone and played gta 3 while it was mirrored to the TV. Good times. Also using Leena Launcher with the USB c to a dongle along with my Logitech dongle to connect a mouse and keyboard almost made it like a Dex for the pixel
The only thing is the buttons on the controller weren't all exactly what they should be and I have no idea how to or if you're even able to reconfigure the buttons
Ahmed Chandab oh no the video output is just like how he's showing on here just screen mirroring to a chromecast, and that Leena Launcher isn't that great but it was the closest thing I came across to a desktop like launcher
When talking about android version I assume that we are talkingabout the original installed version. I got an unused samsung Galaxy 8+, ( basic version ) 4.4.111 but also says Android version 9 in the system folder. Is this phone just worthless to use with chromecast?
I think there is a big difference in Mirror and Cast, right? I can cast my phone to my TV without Chromecast, but then it is only on the TV and not on my phone. I need the image on both TV and phone at the same time. The reason is that when you use Yoga videos on RUclips, you have to turn around or look down while exercising and then you can't see the TV, but you could have your phone on the floor or behind you and see the exercise video when facing the TV or not facing the TV.
I would prefer to put all the items in a playlist and then just use the cast option from in RUclips and then cast to the Chromecast. I am not sure how long it can go without stopping but that should help it display the best on the Chromecast.
But samsung has the smartview thingy. Is that any different?? It works with my chromecast ultra. And can i stream 4k videos, like if i open it on my phone... will it display the full quality?
I will need to do a quality test but yes Smart View now supports this feature. I will need to make a full Smart View tutorial specific to Samsung phones.
I just checked with my note 8 to my 4k 75 inch LED. So, if i am screencasting, the resolution is bad. not worth it, sound comes out fine. But if i cast only the file via the Smart View, it streams in 4k, no loss of quality but the native app on my tv says that the audio codec not supported. the files were downloaded from youtube in 4k via videoder. If i stream a song from my music app (samsung), it runs works great. I dont get the video codec issue because my tv has built in Dolby Digital drivers and can run most formats (except 7.1 atmos) without any third party app (MX player).
Hey. I notice your phone has the same aspect ratio than mine, thus the screen isnt completely filled when you mirror. Is there a way to change this? Maybe in the chromecast settings? Cause I want to buy one but if thats how Im going to see landscape mode when Im playing, then I dont think I would buy it. Thanks in advance!
Any idea how to cast Android Chrome tabs to Chromecast, I am paying for Netflix Hulu Amazon prime and you're TV, but between episodes 1 and 4 of supernatural none of them stream it.

This has been a problem for awhile and right now there is not really a fix. This fall the Prime Video app will support full casting to Chromecast devices so we just have to wait patiently.
Galaxy s8. Can't even see that menu - we have 2 google home minis and a chromecast with other connected devices managed by Google home. My google home does not give me the option to cast my screen
I have downloaded the app but .. your app does not look nothing like the one I got an does not show the line bar on the top left corner , I just don't understand, any suggestions
This worked fine until I tried to cast a movie from Amazon Prime Video. Previews worked fine but as soon as the movie started, the tv screen went black and only the audio continued to work. Thoughts?
I don't have a TV, I only have my phone, a Chromecast ultra and a windows 10 laptop. And I want to cast my phone to my laptop, but my laptop doesn't show up the welcome screen. How to solve this? Or is it that Chromecast ultra can only cast to TV?????
You can use your phone as a hotspot and connect the Chromecast to your hotspot wifi. You need to have downloaded Google Home which I'm not sure you can do on your phone without an external wifi connection. Just make sure your Chromecast wifi SSID and password match what you set up for your hotspot on your phone.
Oh that's great news. I hope it works with a tablet and my TV has built in chromecast. I'll have to try this. My blueray player quit working with youtube so I can just watch youtube from my tablet on my tv.
Not when screen mirroring like this. You would need to just use the normal cast function from an app or if you have a Samsung Phone and TV you can connect through the Smart View Settings.
I got it working. Click Home, like in this video, but then click the circle icon on the lower right of the screen. This brings up the Account page. Scroll down to Additional, and under that you will see Mirror device. Click that and ok. Click the Cast to room. It connects and now mirrors the phone.
There is a new version of the Google Home app that changes where you find this. Here is a new tutorial: ruclips.net/video/2JglPj8Kfss/видео.html
