Let's go ahead and jump right in and we're going to show you how to mirror that screen to your TV. Now, to do this, you will need home Wi-Fi. You will also need a Google Chromecast device or you can do it with a Roku. So one of those three devices or actually the Amazon Fire TV, you should also be able to do it with one of those devices. Now, I'm going to show two methods here. The first method I show will only work with the Chromecast, but the second method is going to work with those other devices, the Roku Fire TV, State Chromecast, all that stuff. So the first method I want to show you how to mirror your complete screen, everything on your screen to your TV. Now to do that, you're going to need to download the Google Home app. So if we just go to the Google Play Store, it's going to type in Google Home, download this app here, we'll open it up and I'll walk you through this setup really quickly. So make sure you do have a Gmail account on the phone, check if not, you can go ahead and sign into one, press OK. So we're going to turn on our location services. You don't necessarily have to do this, it's optional. I'm going to hit deny on that. Now my Chromecast, I haven't customized, so it's named Office TV. So that's why it shows Office TV here, but on yours it will say Chromecast or whatever room you've assigned it to. That's what you'll see there. Now I'm going to click on right here, Office TV, not the first one, but the second one, tap there. And then at the bottom of the screen, I'm going to click on cast my screen. And when you tap cast my screen, hit cast my screen again, and then you will see it now playing on the TV. So now anything that you do on the phone, you're going to see it on the TV. So it's a direct mirror. I can turn the phone sideways. It's not in that setting actually, but if I were to go to the Play Store, for example, and I rotated it sideways like this, it will also show up in that same way on the TV. Now this is a great function for if you wanted to show gameplay, you're playing something, you want people in the room to be able to see it. You took a trip and you want people to see the pictures. That's another way. You can also play a YouTube, for example, this way. So YouTube does rotate when you, here we go. All right, so I can go just quickly show you a video. Last video uploaded. So it will play right from my phone to the TV. Now the problem is with this method, I can't use the phone because it's going to mirror exactly what's on my screen, which is frustrating. If I was going to mirror a video to the TV, I'd want to still use my phone, which is going to lead into our next option. So to stop this, I'm just going to pause, basically go home, get out of that app, and if I want to stop it from mirror, I'm going to go back to Google Home and just tap on stop mirroring. Now it's not mirroring my screen anymore. Now this other option, which to me is the better option if your main goal is, I want to play a YouTube video on the TV or a Netflix video or Hulu, one of those streaming platforms, this would be the better option. And this is the option that will work on a Roku, on a Chromecast, Fire TV, if you work on just about all of the streaming devices. So what you're going to do is just simply open the video that you want to play. So I have the video open right here. Now in the upper corner, upper right corner, you're going to tap on this little icon, it's your cast icon, and then I'm going to tap on Office TV again. And now you'll see on the TV that the video is going to start to play on the TV, but my phone is going to work like normal. Now you can use your phone as the volume control to turn the video down. And but essentially the video is going to play on the TV and I can still use my phone to do other things. I can search Google, I can text message, whatever your name it, I can do it because with this method, it's only sending the video not the entire screen. And if you swipe down from the top, you can control the video from here so I can pause it or play or I can hit this little X here and have it stop playing altogether. I will have a link in the description below where you can buy a Chromecast if you don't have one. And I'll also include links for the Roku and the Fire TV stake and Fire TV cube as well.
