How to cast your iPhone to your TV｜BJCast

Casting your iPhone to your TV allows you to enjoy content from your phone on a larger screen. Here are several methods you can use to cast your iPhone to your TV:

Using AirPlay

AirPlay is a wireless streaming technology developed by Apple. If your TV or streaming device supports AirPlay, you can easily cast your iPhone to it.

1. Ensure Both Devices Are Connected to the Same Wi-Fi Network: This is a basic requirement for using AirPlay.
2. Open Control Center on Your iPhone: Swipe down from the top right corner of the screen (for iPhone 8 and earlier, swipe up from the bottom).
3. Select “Screen Mirroring”: In Control Center, find and tap the “Screen Mirroring” option. A list of available devices will appear.
4. Select Your TV or Apple TV: From the list, choose your TV or Apple TV. If a password is displayed on your TV, enter it to complete the connection.

Once connected, your iPhone screen will be displayed on the TV. You can now play videos, view photos, or perform other actions.

Using an HDMI Adapter

If your TV does not support AirPlay, or if you prefer a wired connection, an HDMI adapter is a good option.

1. Prepare an HDMI Adapter and HDMI Cable: Purchase a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable. Ensure the quality of the adapter and cable for optimal transmission.
2. Connect the Adapter and HDMI Cable: Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your TV and the other end into the Lightning-to-HDMI adapter. Then, insert the adapter’s Lightning connector into your iPhone.
3. Switch TV Input Source: Turn on your TV and use the remote control to switch to the corresponding HDMI input source.

Once connected, your iPhone screen will be displayed on the TV.

Using a Smart TV’s Casting Feature

Many modern smart TVs have built-in casting features that support direct streaming from a phone via Wi-Fi.

1. Ensure TV and Phone Are on the Same Network: Connect your smart TV and iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Smart TV’s Casting Feature: Locate and open the casting feature on your TV, which may vary depending on the brand. It is usually found in the settings or app menu.
3. Find the Casting Option on Your iPhone: Open the app you want to cast (e.g., YouTube, Netflix) and look for the casting icon (typically a rectangle with a triangle inside). Tap the casting icon and select your smart TV.

Using Third-Party Apps

There are also third-party apps available that can help you cast your iPhone to your TV.

1. Choose the Right App: Popular casting apps include “BJCast” . Search for and download these apps from the App Store.
2. Install the App and Connect: Follow the app’s instructions for installation and ensure your iPhone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. Most apps will automatically detect available devices. Select the content you want to cast and follow the app’s instructions to display it on the TV.

Common Issues and Solutions

• Lagging Screen: Ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal and be close to the router. Close other bandwidth-consuming devices. Restart your iPhone and TV and reconnect.
• No Sound: Ensure the TV’s volume is not muted and check the volume settings on your iPhone. Try reconnecting the devices.
• Multiple Device Casting: In most cases, AirPlay and HDMI connections can only connect to one device simultaneously. If you need to cast to multiple devices, you may need to use third-party apps or hardware support.

By following these methods, you can easily cast your iPhone to your TV and enjoy a better viewing experience.
