How to Mirror Your Phone to a TV
Screen mirroring puts whatever's on your phone up on the TV — useful when an app isn't installed directly on the TV itself.
Screen mirroring sends your phone's display to a TV in real time, which is a handy option when you'd rather use your phone's app directly than navigate a TV interface.
Common ways to mirror
- Built-in wireless casting supported by many Smart TVs and streaming devices
- A physical cable adapter connecting your phone directly to an HDMI port
- A dedicated streaming stick or box that supports mirroring from your phone's operating system
Why a native app is usually the better option
Mirroring keeps your phone tied up for the whole session and can drain its battery faster. Where possible, installing the Apollo Group TV app directly on the TV or streaming device tends to be smoother — see our Smart TV app setup walkthrough.
When mirroring makes sense
Mirroring is genuinely useful for content that only lives on your phone, or on a TV that doesn't support your app directly. Check our Devices page to see which platforms have a native Apollo Group TV app first.
