Casting from Redmi Phone to MI TV

There are a couple ways to cast your Redmi phone's screen to a MI TV. The easiest is using the built-in casting feature, but you can also use third-party apps if needed.

Using Native Casting

Here is how to cast your Redmi phone's screen natively:

• Make sure screen mirroring is enabled on your MI TV
• On your Redmi phone, open the notification shade and tap the Cast icon

This works for any content that you view on your phone, whether it's photos, videos, apps or even your home screen. Native casting provides the smoothest experience.

Via Google Home App

• AirScreen: This app lets you cast videos, games, photos and more over WiFi.
• ApowerMirror: Similar to AirScreen, this casts your screen and audio.

While third-party apps work, casting natively usually provides the best performance and stability.
