Transfer streaming from pc/phone to tv

[rjn5656]

I am able to watch my grandsons college lacrosse games on my pc/iphone. Is there a way to transfer the video to my tv.

[Two Bills]

From PC to tv screen I use HDMI cable.

[Ellwoodrick]

If you have a Roku you should be able to do it.

[Pugchief]

You can also cast anything wirelessly using Plex Media Server as long as you have a smart TV and WiFi.

[Dusty_Star]

If you have a Chromecast, either preinstalled on your TV or a separate device plugged into the back of your TV, then you just 'cast' from the phone. I think cast is an option once your phone has recognized the device.

If you’re using Apple (your iPhone), an Apple lightning to digital adaptor should allow you to mirror your device to your TV. Two additional things. First, you will also need a HDMI cable to go between your TV and the adaptor, and apple being apple, mirroring certain content might be blocked.

Best of luck.

I believe there are two main connection types, Chromecast and Airplay. The iphone will likely only support Airplay and the pc might only support Chromecast (easy to do through the Chrome browser).

Your Smart TV, firestick, or Roku device will need the ability to accept a connection from your iphone or pc. My smart TV knows both Chromecast and Airplay but others I have seen have only worked with Chromecast. My firestick doesn't want to work with either my iphone or pc but there might be another app for that. Check the settings on your TV to see what it supports.

Your pc or iphone will need to be on the same network as your tv. This is usually the case in your home since they are both connected to your home wifi.

The app that you are streaming from (Hulu, YouTube, Netflix, Max, etc) will need to allow casting/mirroring. This is hit and miss; some will allow casting while others limit you to watching on the small screen. (A streaming subscription offered through a mobile phone plan might not allow you to cast if they could also sell you a non-mobile streaming service)

What works for me:
- my smart TV has support for both Chromecast and Airplay
- I use the Chrome browser on my pc to run the application then cast from that
- Since my TV supports it, I can also cast from my iphone
- I have occasionally run into situations where the app on my iphone did not allow me to cast

If you are just using it for occasional viewing, the easiest way is to buy an HDMI cable and plug it into your TV.

[bopat]

Some TV's have a USB port that can play media on a USB stick

[Pinball wizard]

If your PC is Windows based and you have a smart TV, search for connect to a wireless display on your PC.

[EdFNJ]

Android --- Chromecast it (no wires needed)
Apple: --- AIrplay it (no wires needed)

Both the above are simple, wireless and both assume your TV (most new ones do) or your "Stick" (most do) support one of those features.

It also assumes the station you want to watch doesn't lock those features out (most do not) using DRM over HDMI. Both avoids buying cables and adapters and getting behind your TV to access an hdmi port. Sometimes if wall mounted it's not easy. Easiest way is go on YouTube and search for something like "stream my phone on my tv". You'll find probably hundreds of videos.

[rsmurano]

Why would you go thru the hassle of buying a lightning (if iPhone) to hdmi cable, then the hassle of getting behind the tv finding an hdmi port if 1 is open. The best box to buy is the Apple TV 4K device where you can airplay from your iPhone or Mac.
But if it was me, I would get it off the phone and put the file on a computer, then have the Apple TV 4K box point to your computer they just play it from there. The Apple TV 4K box will link to your computer to stream music and videos as well as providing the ability to download apps like YouTube tv, paramount+, Disney, to stream all your tv and movie content. My Apple TV 4K box is the hub for my whole house automation too.`

You can go cheap by getting a firestick, chromecast, Roku solution, but they do very little compared to what the Apple TV 4K can do

If you have a smart TV, download MirrorMeister. We use it all the time to transfer the Buffalo Bills football games from our iPhones to our TV.

[RICH1]

APPLE AIRPLAY … no wires needed
This is 2023 …. CABLE IS A DINOSAUR and STREAMING has been in for years … can’t get any easier than Roku

I use Apple TV and screen mirror from MacBook to the TV. Great picture.

[CSB1228]

Yes. Go to your control by pulling down from the right top corner and press mirroring (2 little rectangles). If you have a smart TV and blue tooth on your phone you can pair them and be able to see everything on your phone on the TV.

[Nevinator]

I use the screen mirroring feature on my iPhone in conjunction with my Samsung smart TV.

Simple!

1. Make sure that your iPhone and TV are using the same WI-FI Network.
2. Make sure your TV is turned on.
3. From your iPhone or iPad, swipe down and to the left from the upper right hand corner of the screen. (See image)
4. Select the “Screen Mirroring” icon. (See image)
5. The APP will search for compatible devices and if one or more are found they will be displayed on your iPhone or iPad screen (See image)
6. Select the device that you wish to share your screen.
7. A 4-digit code will appear on your TV Screen. Enter that number in the space provided on the screen on your iPhone or iPad.

As I understand it, Bluetooth can only be used to transfer data and audio, but it doesn't have enough bandwidth to transmit video.

I go from my iPhone, iPad or MacBook Pro to my SMART Samsung TV with NO extra gadgets. TV has to be BlueTooth capable, then screen share from the device to the Samsung. So, I guess it depends on the TV. Remembering, I used to screen share to my AppleTV box, on an older TV.

Good luck.

[DonnaNi4os]

If you have WiFi and a smart tv you should be able to tap the icon on the top right corner of your phone or tablet and select your tv. I do it all of the time

The most practical answer for you depends on your present equipment. Please tell us the make (and model, if possible) of your PC, TV, mobile phone, and TV streaming equipment to be more helpful.

You are getting different responses because of their equipment, not yours.

Not all smart TVs have this capability. It needs to have built-in casting software that is compatible with your phone.

Correct. Some people incorrectly assume that because their TV has casting capability that all TVs do.

[Blackbird45]

Assuming that your grandson is sending this as a file which you are downloading onto your PC, try to download the file from your PC onto a thumb drive. Most new TVs have a USB ports. Just plug it into the TV select that port, this might work, and you can avoid all the other hoops.

Google Chromecast. You will need to use Google Chrome on your phone, or if you are using an app it needs to have Chromecast capability. YouTube worked well.

[Arletti]

Buy a little HDMI cable and hook one end to a cable attached to your TV and the other into your phone.

[Lyarham]

I am able to watch my grandsons college lacrosse games on my pc/iphone. Is there a way to transfer the video to my tv.. Try looking into hudl tv on Firestick or smart tv

[Eclas]

If u have an android phone you can use google home and it will find your tv if it's a smart enough one. If not get a $25 chromecast and google home will find that and cast it to your tv.

oops, nevermind I see u have an iphone. If your pc has an hdmi port just use that.
