Casting Android to Samsung TV – tips and tricks

There are a couple of things worth remembering when you’re casting Android to Samsung TV:

Turn volume down on your phone and turn it up on TV

When you’re casting or screen mirroring, you want to have the sound on your TV and not on your phone. That’s why, after connecting your smartphone with your television, you should turn the volume up on your TV and turn it down on your phone.

Turn off notifications

With screen mirroring, all that happens on your sender device screen will be shown on the receiver device. That includes any notifications and pop-ups. If you want to avoid people seeing your DMs, you have to turn your notifications off.

Here’s how to do it on an Android device:

1. Go to Settings – Apps and notifications.
2. Click ‘Notifications’.
3. Adjust the notification settings for each app.
4. You can also use the Do Not Disturb option in the Advanced section.

Avoid inserting sensitive informations when casting

Since everyone in your vicinity can see your screen while mirroring, we do not recommend using any case sensitive material while doing so. That includes passwords, bank data, private messages – anything you don’t want random people getting their eyes on!
