      Screen Mirroring for Mac:
      Mirror your Mac screen to any device in your local Wifi or remote via Internet. Download our Screen Mirroring App from the App Store and share your screen on a Smart TV, Mac, PC, Laptop, Gaming Console, Smartphone or Tablet.

      Setup your wifi network and internet:
      Share your screen:
      ► to any device in your local WiFi (or LAN). Please make sure that both devices are connected to the same wifi network and have internet access (SUPPORTED BROWSERS: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and other Browser).
      ► worldwide via Internet with your friends, family and co-workers (SUPPORTED BROWSERS: latest versions of Firefox, Opera, Chrome & Safari).

      Please note:
      The Screen Mirroring App for Mac only works with browsers that support WebRTC (examples: latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari). Please try to download one of these browsers for your Receiver device. If your Receiver device is an Android TV, please install the companion app from the Play Store on your Android TV.

      Setup your wifi network and internet:
      Please make sure that your receiver device and your iOS/Android device are connected to the same wifi network and have internet access. This is necessary to establish a connection between the devices and to mirror the screen of your iOS/Android device.

      Using hotspot instead of wifi:
      Unfortunately, transmission is only possible with a router device. In order to be able to start a transmission via mobile data / hotspot / thethering you need at least 3 devices:
      (1) One router device (e.g. mobile phone with active hotspot)
      (2) One transmission device (e.g. an iOS device with the Screen Mirroring app installed and connected to the router device)
      (3) One receiver device (eg. Roku / FireTV / Chromecast / smart TV device connected to the router device).

      Setup your wifi network and internet:
      Please make sure that your receiver device and your iOS/Android device are connected to the same wifi network and have internet access. This is necessary to establish a connection between the devices and to mirror the screen of your iOS/Android device.

      Using hotspot instead of wifi:
      Mirroring via a hotspot is also possible. Just connect your receiver device to your mobile hotspot and start mirroring as described above.

    • connectivity, troubleshoot, discoverability, device not found, cant find device, cannot find device, search device, discover device, connection issue, connection problem, device discovery, wifi issue

      Discovering devices:
      The TV Mirror/Screen Mirroring app scans your wifi for available receiver devices. If a device is found, it will be shown for selection.

      Discovering a receiver device may take up to several minutes depending on your wifi signal. If your receiver device cannot be detected in your wifi, please restart the receiver device + your iOS/Android device + your wifi router and try again. We recommend to unplug your receiver device from its power supply for at least 1 minute for a clean restart.

      Start mirroring:
      Select your device you want to mirror to from the list of found devices. Then tap "Start Mirroring" and grant permission for screen recording to enable mirroring if necessary.
      ► Only for Android 10 or higher: grant permission for audio recording for mirroring with sound.

      Mirror over internet:
      Mirror your screen over the Internet to a Chromecast that is located at a romate place.

      (1) Open the receiver on your Chromecast at the remote place. You will need someone at the remote place, who uses Screen Mirroring for Chromecast or the Launcher Website to launch the receiver on the Chromecast.
      ► Open the receiver via the app: open the app ➨ tap on "Mirror over Internet" ➨ select "LAUNCHER WEBSITE" ➨ press "LAUNCH RECEIVER" and choose your Chromecast device.
      ► Open the receiver via the website: visit the LAUNCHER WEBSITE ➨ click on "LAUNCH RECEIVER" and choose your Chromecast device

      (2) When the receiver is launched, get the 6 digit ID which is displayed on the remote Chromecast and enter it into Screen Mirroring for Chromecast on the sender device.
      (3) Select "CONNECT" on the sender device.
      (4) Tap "Start Mirroring".

      Fix connection issues
      If your iOS/Android device and your receiver device/TV do not connect at all or the app does not find the receiver device/TV on your wifi network, we recommend the following steps:
      (1) Enable the airplane mode for at least 10 seconds and then disable it again. This will help you rediscover the devices on your wifi network. The quick fix tutorial video on Youtube shows you how to switch on airplane mode for example on iOS devies, if you are not familiar with airplane mode.
      (2) Restart all involved devices, including your iOS/Android device, receiver device/TV and WiFi router. Devices powered by cable (e.g. TVs) should be unplugged from power for at least 1 minute before reconnecting them.
      (3) Make sure that the energy-saving mode of our iOS/Android device is not activated. This can lead to incorrect transmission.
      (4) Only for Chromecast/Android TV: Make sure that the settings under "System" ➨ "Cast" ➨ "Let others control your cast media" are set to "always". If it is set to "while casting", you may experience connection issues and your Chromecast device/Android TV may not be found at all.
      Please note that depending on the Android version of your Chromecast device/Android TV, the path to this setting may be different (for Android 9: "Device Preferences" ➨ "Chromecast built-in" ➨ "Let others control your cast media").
      (5) Only for Fire TV: Please note that issues may occur during an update process of Fire TV.
      You can check if this is the case as follows: Settings ➨ My Fire TV ➨ About ➨ "Downloading update"

      Fix connection issues
      If your sender device and your receiver device/TV do not connect at all, we recommend the following steps:
      (1) Enable the airplane mode for at least 10 seconds and then disable it again. This will help you rediscover the devices on your wifi network.
      (2) Restart all involved devices, including your sender and receiver device/TV and WiFi router. Devices powered by cable (e.g. TVs) should be unplugged from power for at least 1 minute before reconnecting them.
      (3) Please switch between the two websites tvee.app and mirroring.tv, if one of the two sides should not be compatible with your device.
      (4) Try a different Browser on your sender/receiver device (example: latest version of Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera).

      Fix for issues caused by battery saving
      Newer versions of iOS and Android introduced a lot of battery saving options which try to improve battery performance of your mobile device. This may cause hard to identify issues with video casting, so we recommend you to disable all battery saving options in iOS and Android.

      Additional fixes for Chromecast:
      If you cannot connect and you are an unexperienced user, please refer to section "Setup" and check the help links. If you are an user with advanced computer and network knowledge, we recommend to check the Chromecast Help Forum.

      Additional fixes for Android TV:
      If you have issues with discovering your device / connecting / casting or your device freezes, please
      (1) Update your TV firmware to the latest version
      (2) Update the Android TV software to the latest version
      (3) Open Google Play on your TV, search for and update the "Google Cast Receiver" to the latest version (this may require to sign in with a Google account)
      (4) Disable "Restricted Profile", if activated
      (5) Set "Date & Time" to "automatic / network time"

      Fix Permission Error on Android 5.1:
      For Android 5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1*, when you start mirroring, please do NOT select "Don’t show again" on screen capture permission dialog to avoid "System UI has stopped" errors and situations where screen mirroring does not start properly. Please reinstall the app in case you already did select "Don’t show again".


      Fix Update Error on Android:
      Sometimes it is necessary to update the app in order to improve the performance and fix errors. If Google Play Store does not suggest an update even though one is available, please try the following shown in the video.

      Still nothing works
      If you can't connect or this app does not work at all with your receiver device, please try our casting app Video & TV Cast. This may be a good alternative for your needs, especially when you want to cast videos from online webpages.

    • drm, copyright, on demand

      Some third party apps/websites do actively prevent screen mirroring, for example Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. When your are mirroring your screen and start these apps/open these websites, a black screen will appear on your receiver device. Unfortunately this behavior is triggered by Netflix and others, so we cannot do anything about this.

      ► Affected apps: Netflix, iTunes + Google Play Movies, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Hulu, Vudu, DirecTV, Xfinity, HBO and similar

      ► For not supported audio, please see section "Audio issues"

    • difference, comparing, compared, casting, mirror vs cast, mirror vs. cast, stream, streaming

      Even though the terms "casting" and "screen mirroring" are commonly interchanged in the industry, there are differences when using them with cast devices like Chromecast or Roku.

      Content that can be send: When casting, you can only watch content available from websites that you can open in the app Video & TV Cast or files that are stored on your phone. Screen mirroring allows you to view content from any app installed on your mobile device (excluding DRM protected content and Apps that actively prevent screen mirroring).

      What will be shown on the TV: With casting you only see playback of the selected piece of content (for example a video), whereas with screen mirroring, you see the entire screen of your mobile device including buttons and menus – every action is mirrored on your TV, even Push Notifications or phone calls.

      Power state of your phone or tablet: Once playback begins, casting lets you use your mobile device to do something else or you can power it off entirely. Screen mirroring requires that your mobile device remain powered on for the duration of playback, which may lead to higher battery consumption.

      Supported mobile devices: Casting is supported on most mobile devices – if you can install the app Video & TV Cast, you can send content to your Smart TV or Smart device. Screen mirroring is limited to compatible Android and iOS (iOS 11.0 above) devices.

    • recording, save video, privacy, fishing, stop screen record, stop recording

      Screen recording:
      The function "screen recording" on your iOS/Android/desktop (sender) device is necessary to "mirror" the screen from your sender device to your receiver device.

      During a screen mirroring session, the captured screen recording is transmitted via local Wi-Fi. If the sender device and receiver device are connected via Internet, the screen recording may also be transferred via Internet with secure end-to-end encryption. Screen recordings are only transmitted from the sender device to the receiver device, with no other purpose than screen mirroring. Screen recordings are not shared with the app provider or other instances. They are only processed temporarily and not saved permanently. Screen recordings are not saved as files and no hard drive space is used.

      Please note:
      Before you tap "start broadcast", please make sure you have choosen "TV Mirror" or "Screen Mirroring" instead of "camera roll".
      "Camera Roll" is the screen recording function provided by Apple and will only allow you to record and save your screen.

      Stop screen recording:
      You can stop the screen recording anytime on your own:
      (1) tap the red line on top of the screen or (for iphone x) the red clock (time label)
      (2) open the TV Mirror app/ Screen Mirroring App and tap "stop broadcast"

      Stop screen recording:
      You can stop the screen recording anytime on your own:
      (1) close the app
      (2) open the Screen Mirroring App and tap "STOP MIRRORING"

      Stop Mirroring:
      The sender can stop mirroring by pressing "Stop Sharing" at the botton of the screen or by pressing the "Disconnect" button on tvee.app/mirroring.tv.

      ► Please make sure that sound is activated in the settings of the app.
      ► The Super Mode must be enabled for sound. Please make sure you enable it before you start mirroring.
      ► Please note that the autoplay option for sound on the receiver device is often disabled. This means that our receiver app is blocked from playing sound until you unmute it. Please press "select" on your remote control to unmute after you have started mirroring.
      ► Audio is only supported on devices with Android 10 or higher. If you have an older Android version on your device, please either update your device to Android 10 or consider getting a newer device with at least Android 10.
      Other common issues:
      ► Audio is muted: Please check the volume controls of ALL devices which are involved in your streaming setup, including your TV, attached receiver devices (for example: Fire TV Sticks), attached sound devices (soundbars, home theaters). Depending on the setup you may have multiple devices that control the final output volume.
      ► Broken physical connection: Please check the physical connections of all audio devices. If you have a sound device which is connected via HDMI to your TV, please unplug and replug it and make sure that it is connected to the HDMI port labeled "ARC", otherwise you will get no sound.

      The screen is buffering / freezing / missing frames
      The connection can be unstable, freezing or lost because of different scenarios. Here are some tricks to avoid problems:

      Wifi issues
      Many problems caused by a weak wifi signal, can be solved by the following advice:
      ► Move your wifi access point (or router) nearer to your sender device and your receiver device to improve the signal
      ► Extend your wifi signal by adding a wifi repeater to your network. Please consult a technician to set up the repeater.
      ► Use a HDMI extender between the TV HDMI port and the receiver device to prevent interruptions and buffering caused by wifi signal interferences
      ► Do not glue or otherwise attach the receiver device directly onto the surface of your TV or other devices, as this may also lead to wifi signal interferences
      ► If you use a 5GHz wifi network, please ensure that your WIFI IS NOT RUNNING ON A CHANNEL BETWEEN 52-64 OR 100-140, because these channels may lead to buffering and disconnects or prevent mirroring at all on some receiver devices. Please also ensure that your WIFI CHANNEL IS NOT SET TO 'AUTO' (automatic channel selection). Instead always select a fixed channel outside both ranges of 52-64 and 100-140. If you do not know what all this means, please contact a technician to help you setting up your wifi or watch our tutorial video.
      Please note: Some channels are not or only limited available in some countries. This may result in the receiver device not being found or the connection not working at all. Therefore, please try channel 1-11 for the 2.4 GHz network and channel 36-48 for the 5 GHz network, as these channels should work in all countries.
      ► Please try to switch between 2,4 GHz and 5GHz wifi network as due to different conditions the different frequencies could work better or worse. If you don't know how to do this, please watch our tutorial video.

      Power issues
      ► reciever device
      Please always power the receiver device by its original power supply delivered by the manufacturer. Powering it via USB cable or third party power supplies is NOT RECOMMENDED as this may cause a weak wifi signal leading to all kinds of errors and bad "mirroring" experience.

      ► iOS/Andriod
      Please note that low battery from your device and the energy-saving mode of your phone can lead to incorrect transmission.

      Missing frames
      With high-resolution media, there may be missing frames during the transfer. Please try to lower the resolution of the media in such cases.

      How to avoid errors on iOS 13?
      To optimize the mirroring, please make sure you return to the home screen of the mirroring app first before you exit it.

      Please tap "start broadcast". After the mirroring has started, please tap anywhere in the background to return to the home screen of the app. Then use the home button to exit the app.
      To get a visual impression, check out our tutorial video on Youtube.

      Please note:

      The auto lock mode on your phone stops mirroring, as soon as your iOS device is locked. Please make sure your iOS device is always active during mirroring.
      You can disable the Auto-lock mode in the settings of your phone:

      Settings ➨ Display & Brightness ➨ Auto-Lock ➨ "Never"
