How to Screen Mirror Onto Your Roku TV

Screen mirroring, also known as screen casting, allows you to wirelessly display the content of your smartphone, tablet, or computer onto your television screen. This feature proves incredibly useful for sharing photos and videos, giving presentations, or even just enjoying a larger screen experience while watching your favorite shows or playing games. If you own a Roku TV, you can easily mirror your device's screen, making sharing content on a larger screen a breeze. This article will guide you through the process of setting up and using screen mirroring on your Roku TV.

On your Roku TV, navigate to
Settings

On your device, check the Wi-Fi settings and confirm that it is also connected to the same network as your Roku TV.

If your devices aren't connected to the same network, connect your device to your home's Wi-Fi network to proceed with the screen mirroring process.

2. Enable Screen Mirroring on Your Roku TV

Before you can mirror your device's screen, you need to enable screen mirroring on your Roku TV. This is a simple process that usually requires just a few clicks.
