Mirror your Android screen to the TV with Chromecast
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Chromecast makes it easy for you to enjoy your favorite entertainment on the biggest screen in the house. Starting today, you can mirror your Android phone and tablet to the TV so you can see your favorite apps, photos or anything else, exactly as you see it on your mobile device—only bigger. To start mirroring, simply select “Cast Screen” from the navigation drawer in the Chromecast app and select your Chromecast device. On Nexus devices, this feature is also available through the quick settings menu.
Now, anything on your Android device will appear on the TV. You can share photos stored on your phone with a group of friends, or scope out the scenery for your next family vacation together on the big screen using Google Earth.
This feature is currently in beta and will roll out on
popular Android phones or tablets from Samsung, HTC, LG, and others
over the next few days. Look out for the 1.7 update of the
Chromecast app
on Google Play store to use this new feature.
