After working on your laptop all day, staring at a 13 or 15 inch screen up close; or worse, your mobile phone!… wouldn’t it be nice to watch Jay’s Neill’s training videos or any other movies streaming on your mobile device for that matter- on your HDTV from th comfort of your couch or favorite chair?

The next thing you need to do is to go into the settings on your mobile device and activate your screen mirroring. Not all devices call it screen mirroring, for example

Apple calls it AirPlay
Samsung UK calls it Allshare Cast
My Samsung Galaxy S6 calls it Smart View
If your device has mirroring capabilities, you should see a setting with one of these names or something similar
Once you hit that button, you’ll see a message on your screen like this one that let’s you know it’s connecting. Once connected, you’ll see a mirror image of your mobile device screen.
When you have auto-rotate enabled, you can turn your phone to the horizontal position and see exactly what is on your phone or tablet, mirrored on your large screen!
