How to Wirelessly Cast Videos from Samsung Galaxy to Your TV
Learn to cast Samsung Galaxy to TV for wireless video cast Galaxy. Use Samsung Galaxy Chromecast or screen cast Galaxy TV to stream phone to TV Samsung.
Watching videos from your Samsung Galaxy on the big screen is easy — whether you have a Samsung Smart TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, or even an Apple TV. Here are all the methods.
Method 1: Smart View (Samsung TV — Best Experience)
For Samsung Smart TVs (2018 and newer):
- Make sure your Galaxy and Samsung TV are on the same Wi-Fi network.
- On your Galaxy, swipe down twice and tap Smart View.
- Select your Samsung TV from the device list.
- Your Galaxy screen mirrors to the TV instantly.
- Open any video app — it plays on the TV and phone simultaneously.
For video casting only (not full mirror): Open your Samsung TV's native apps directly.
Method 2: Google Cast / Chromecast
For TVs with built-in Chromecast or a Chromecast device plugged in:
- In a Cast-enabled app (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Chrome):
- Tap the Cast icon (the rectangle with Wi-Fi waves).
- Select your Chromecast or Google TV device.
- The video streams directly from the internet to the TV — your Galaxy acts as a remote control.
Advantage: Battery-efficient; video plays from the cloud, not your phone.
Method 3: Amazon Fire TV
Use the Samsung Galaxy Smart View app on Fire TV:
- Install Smart View on your Fire TV Stick (available in Amazon Appstore).
- Open Smart View on Galaxy > select Fire TV.
- Or use Miracast: Fire TV > Settings > Display > Enable Display Mirroring.
Method 4: DLNA (Home Network Streaming)
For network media players (Kodi, Plex server, smart TVs with DLNA):
- Install AllConnect or BubbleUPnP on your Galaxy.
- These apps find DLNA/UPnP media renderers on your network.
- Select a video and stream it to the TV's media player.
Method 5: USB-C to HDMI (Wired, Reliable)
For guaranteed lag-free casting:
- Get a USB-C to HDMI adapter or Samsung DeX cable.
- Plug into Galaxy USB-C port and TV HDMI input.
- Select the correct HDMI input on TV — Galaxy displays automatically.
Troubleshooting: Cast Not Working
- Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
- Restart the Wi-Fi router, Galaxy, and TV.
- Update Galaxy to the latest One UI version.
- Some video apps (Netflix/Spotify) block Smart View mirroring due to DRM — use the TV's native app instead.
