Mirror Android to Chromecast
Android phones can cast their whole screen to a Chromecast or a Google TV. It is built in; no extra app is needed on most phones.
This guide uses the mirroring built into your phone. Phone browsers cannot share the screen, so MHL Mirroring is not needed here.
Step by step
Open Quick Settings
Swipe down twice from the top of the screen.
Tap Cast or Screen Cast
If you do not see it, edit the Quick Settings tiles and add Cast.
Pick the Chromecast
Choose your Chromecast or Google TV and confirm Start now.
Stop casting
Tap Cast again, or the notification, and choose Disconnect.
If it does not work
- Chromecast not listed: phone and Chromecast must be on the same Wi-Fi, with no guest network isolation.
- Lag in games: casting adds delay; it is better for photos and videos.
