What is screen mirroring?

Screen Mirroring allows you to display (or “mirror”) the screen of your Android or Windows device wirelessly onto your TV screen showing web pages, videos, photos, music, and more via your Roku streaming device.

  • Notes:
    • To use Screen Mirroring, both your Roku streaming device and your mobile device must be connected to the same wireless network.
    • Screen Mirroring is not supported on iOS or Apple devices, or on Google devices running OS 6.0 or later.

If you are not looking to mirror the screen, and only want to display videos, photos, and music stored on your mobile device to your TV, you can do with with the Roku mobile app, which is a free application for iOS and Android devices.

Enabling Screen Mirroring on your Android device

If your Android device is running version 4.2 or later (and is not a Google device running OS 6.0 or later), it likely supports Screen Mirroring. However, many Android devices use a different term when describing this feature. To assist with setting up and enabling Screen Mirroring on your Android device, here are some common terms used for Screen Mirroring.

  • Smart View
  • Quick Connect
  • SmartShare
  • AllShare Cast
  • Wireless display
  • Display mirroring
  • HTC Connect
  • Screen casting
  • Cast

Once you identify the term used by the manufacturer of your Android device, the Screen Mirroring feature is generally enabled from within the settings menu; often on a cast, connection, network or display submenu. Refer to documentation for your device, or contact the manufacturer to learn more about enabling Screen Mirroring.

Enabling Screen Mirroring on your Windows device

How you enable Screen Mirroring is dependent on the version of Windows running on your device.
