How to Cast Xiaomi Phone Screen to TV Using Mi Cast or Wireless Display
Xiaomi phones support several wireless screen-casting methods. Choose based on your TV type.
Method 1 – Mi Cast (Xiaomi / Mi TVs)
If you have a Xiaomi Mi TV or Android TV with Mi Cast support:
1. Swipe down → look for Mi Cast in Quick Settings.
2. Or: Settings → Connection & sharing → Cast screen.
3. Your Xiaomi TV should appear in the device list.
4. Tap to connect — screen mirrors instantly.
Method 2 – Wireless Display (Miracast) – Most Smart TVs
- On your TV: Enable Screen Mirroring / Miracast (in TV settings).
- On Xiaomi phone: Settings → Connection & sharing → Wireless display → on.
- Your TV appears in the available devices list.
- Tap to pair.
Compatible TVs: Samsung (Smart View), LG (Screen Share), Sony (Screen mirroring), Hisense, TCL.
Method 3 – Chromecast / Google TV
- Install Google Home app on your Xiaomi phone.
- Connect Chromecast dongle to your TV's HDMI port (same Wi-Fi as phone).
- In Google Home → tap your Chromecast device → Cast my screen.
- Or: in supported apps (YouTube, Netflix), tap the Cast icon to stream directly to TV.
Method 4 – HDMI Cable (Most Reliable)
For the most stable connection without latency:
1. Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter or USB-C to HDMI cable.
2. Connect to the TV's HDMI port.
3. Switch the TV to the correct HDMI input.
4. Phone screen mirrors automatically (display mode).
Comparison of Casting Methods
| Method | Latency | Quality | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Cast | Very low | Excellent | Xiaomi TV |
| Miracast | Low | Good | Miracast-compatible TV |
| Chromecast | Low | Excellent (1080p) | Chromecast dongle |
| HDMI cable | None | Best | USB-C to HDMI cable |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| TV not appearing in scan | Ensure both on same Wi-Fi; enable TV screen mirror mode |
| Laggy / stuttering screen | Move phone closer to router; switch to 5GHz Wi-Fi |
| Audio plays on phone, not TV | Check TV audio output settings; some modes output audio separately |
| Connection drops after a few minutes | Disable battery optimization for Cast feature |
Pro Tips
- For streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+), use the Cast button within the app for the best quality — it sends the stream directly from cloud to TV, not from phone screen.
- Game Turbo may need to be disabled when screen casting for compatibility with some TVs.
