- Open App: Use apps like YouTube or Netflix and tap the Cast icon.
- Select TV: Choose your TV from the list to start casting instantly.
📱 Method 2: Screen Mirroring (Miracast)

- Enable on TV: Go to screen mirroring option in your TV settings.
- Phone Action: Swipe down > tap Smart View (Samsung) or Cast (other phones).
