Screen mirroring to a TCL Google TV allows you to display the screen of your mobile device or computer directly on your TV. This is especially useful for showing photos, videos, or even apps that do not support casting. Here’s how you can set up screen mirroring to a Google TV from different devices:

Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network: Ensure both your Android device and TCL Google TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Enable Screen Mirroring:
-
Begin Mirroring: Once connected, your Android device's screen will be displayed on your TCL Google TV. You can now navigate your phone or tablet as usual, and it will be mirrored to your TV.
From iOS Devices
Google TV does not natively support AirPlay, the standard screen mirroring method for Apple devices. However, you can use third-party apps that enable AirPlay functionality on your TCL Google TV.

Install a Third-Party App on your Google TV that supports AirPlay.

Connect to the Same Network and open the AirPlay-compatible app on your Google TV.

Adjust Projecting Settings if necessary, using the same Action Center menu to choose how your screens are displayed.
