How to screen mirror to a Nintendo Switch
The Switch has no web browser, so this needs one clever step. You set a manual DNS that opens a hidden sign-in browser, load the receiver page, and connect the free app. Then your phone screen shows on the Switch.
Quick answer
To screen mirror to a Switch, set a manual DNS in its Wi-Fi settings (the value is in the video), which opens a Switchbru page. Choose Enter URL and type tvee.app. Then open the free Screen Mirroring app on your phone, enter the code, and start.
