3. Start Casting
With everything set up, you can start casting content from your phone to your TV. Open the content you want to cast (such as a video from YouTube or Netflix) on your phone, and look for the cast icon (the Wi-Fi symbol) on the screen.
Tap the icon, and select your Samsung Smart TV from the list of available devices. The content will then begin to play on your TV. You can use your phone to pause, play, and control other aspects of the playback.
4. Troubleshooting
If youre having trouble casting, ensure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can also try restarting both the SmartThings app and your device if necessary.
In addition, ensure that you have the latest app and firmware updates installed on both your phone and TV. Check for updates frequently, as newer versions can improve performance and add useful features.
