How to Cast Xiaomi Phone Screen to TV (Wireless Screen Mirror)

Want to watch videos, play games, or show photos from your Xiaomi phone on a TV? Here are all the wireless casting options.

Method 1: Xiaomi Screen Mirror (For Mi TV / Xiaomi TV)

If you have a Xiaomi or Redmi TV:

1. On the TV remote, press Screen Mirror (or open the Mi TV settings → Wireless Display)
2. On your Xiaomi phone: open Control Center → tap "Screen Mirror" or "Cast"
3. Your Mi TV should appear in the device list — tap to connect
4. Screen mirroring starts within seconds

Method 2: Google Cast / Chromecast

If your TV has a Chromecast built-in or you have a Chromecast device:

1. Open Control Center → tap "Cast" (or Settings → Connection → Screen Cast)
2. Select your Chromecast device from the list
3. Your screen appears on TV

Or cast directly from apps: YouTube, Netflix, Google Photos all have a Cast icon (📡) within the app.

Method 3: Miracast (For Samsung, LG, Sony Smart TVs)

Most modern smart TVs support Miracast:

1. On the TV, enable Screen Mirroring (name varies: SmartShare, AllShare, Screen Cast, Wireless Display)
2. On your Xiaomi: Settings → Connection & Sharing → Screen Mirror → tap the TV name

Method 4: HDMI Cable

Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter for a wired connection. This works with any TV/monitor regardless of smart features — and provides the most stable, low-latency connection for gaming.

Troubleshooting

• Device not showing: Ensure both phone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi network
• Laggy mirroring: Switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, or use HDMI for zero lag
• Black screen during casting: Some DRM-protected content (Netflix, Disney+) blocks screen mirroring — this is a content licensing restriction, not a Xiaomi issue

Casting vs. Mirroring

Screen Mirror duplicates your entire phone screen on the TV. Casting (via YouTube/Netflix) plays media directly on the TV while your phone can do other things — and is better for video quality.
