How to use screen mirroring with your
Android™ or Windows® device
Background
When you want to display content from your phone or tablet on a nearby TV, you may be able to
use
screen mirroring
. This feature allows you to replicate (or “mirror”) the screen of your
compatible Android
™
or Windows
®
device wirelessly onto your TV screen. With screen
mirroring, you can send web pages, videos, photos, music, and more to your compatible Roku
®
streaming player or Roku TV
™
. In other words, whatever you see and do on your mobile device
appears on your TV.
To use screen mirroring, you must first set up and enable the feature on your Android or
Windows device and then request a connection to your Roku device. Once a connection is
established, you can see your mobile screen on your TV and control it from your phone or tablet.
