How to Screen Mirror on Mi TV

Screen mirroring is a convenient feature that allows you to wirelessly display the content of your smartphone, tablet, or laptop on your Mi TV. This can be useful for sharing photos and videos, giving presentations, playing mobile games on a larger screen, or simply enjoying content from your device on a bigger display. The process of screen mirroring on Mi TV is relatively straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps.

1. Ensure Compatibility and Connectivity

Before attempting to screen mirror, it's crucial to ensure that your devices are compatible and properly connected. The first step is to check if your smartphone, tablet, or laptop supports screen mirroring. This feature is commonly known as “Miracast” or “Wireless Display”. Most modern devices support this functionality.

Next, make sure your Mi TV is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your device. Without a shared network connection, screen mirroring will not be possible.

2. Enable Screen Mirroring on Your Mi TV

Once you've confirmed compatibility and network connectivity, you can proceed to enable screen mirroring on your Mi TV. The steps may vary slightly depending on your Mi TV model and the version of the Android TV operating system. However, the general process is as follows:

Navigate to the Mi TV home screen.

Use the remote control to select "Settings".

In the settings menu, locate "Device Preferences" or "System".

Within "Device Preferences" or "System", find "Screen Mirroring" or "Wireless Display".

Make sure the "Screen Mirroring" or "Wireless Display" option is toggled on.

Once you've enabled screen mirroring on your Mi TV, it should be ready to receive incoming screen mirroring connections.

3. Initiate Screen Mirroring from Your Device

With screen mirroring enabled on your Mi TV, you can initiate the mirroring process from your device. The specific steps for initiating screen mirroring will vary based on your device's operating system. However, the general process is outlined below:

For Android Devices:

1. Swipe down from the top of your screen to access the notification shade. 2. Locate and tap the “Cast” or “Screen Mirroring” button. 3. Select your Mi TV from the list of available devices. 4. Your device’s screen should now be mirrored on your Mi TV.

For iOS Devices (Apple):

1. Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen (on iPhone X and later) or swiping up from the bottom of the screen (on older iPhones). 2. Tap on "Screen Mirroring". 3. Select your Mi TV from the list of available devices. 4. Your device’s screen should now be mirrored on your Mi TV.

For Windows Devices:

Your device’s screen should now be mirrored on your Mi TV.

Once you've initiated screen mirroring, the screen of your device should be displayed on your Mi TV. You can now access your apps, browse the web, watch videos, or perform other tasks as usual, with everything reflected on the bigger screen.

4. Disconnecting Screen Mirroring

Disconnecting screen mirroring is just as straightforward as initiating it. To disconnect, simply follow these steps:

On your device:

1. Open the notification shade on your Android device or the Control Center on your iOS device. 2. Find the "Cast" or "Screen Mirroring" button and select it. 3. Choose "Disconnect" or "Stop Mirroring" to end the mirroring session.
