You can mirror your Android device to your TV — here's how
Sometimes squinting at a small screen is hard work — more so if you want to show off some content to others and would rather everyone didn't crowd around your device. Sometimes it's nice to kick back with a mobile game or video and appreciate the extra detail a larger screen provides. In these situations, you might consider mirroring your Android device to your TV. When you mirror your Android, everything on your phone's screen appears on your TV. Unlike casting, which streams only selected content while letting you continue using your device, mirroring duplicates your entire display. That makes it ideal for enjoying a larger view, but it also raises potential security concerns. For example, you wouldn't want to open a banking app while mirroring your phone as your sensitive information would be on full display. Mirroring is a powerful feature, but it requires you to be mindful of what's on your screen. Here's how to do it. To be able to mirror your Android screen on a smart television, the TV must be connected to the internet using the same Wi-Fi network as your Android phone. How you do this will vary from one TV to another, so refer to your set's instructions; in general, you'll find them in your television's manual. Next, launch the Quick Settings menu on your Android phone — swipe down from the top of the screen. With Android 16, you can do this with a single finger. Now look for and tap the mirror screen button. Because manufacturers use different names for it, you might see Samsung label it Smart View, Google call it Google Cast, or find it listed as Screen Mirroring, MirrorShare, Screencast, or Xiaomi Cast. Mirror options tend to need permissions to allow content to be transferred. Just tap Continue. Android will search for nearby televisions. Just tap the television that you want to mirror your Android phone to and a connection will be made. Tap Start now and your Android's screen should appear on the television. A small option control should be visible on your Android screen (but not on your television). If you tap the control, it will call up a menu that will allow you to, for example, pause the mirroring, darken the phone screen or set the aspect ratio. There should be an option to hide notifications — that it may not hide them all, though. You will be able to tap disconnect too. Whatever you view on your Android phone will appear on your television. I f you switch your phone between portrait or landscape, the TV display will alter too. You can now open apps and enjoy the larger screen experience. And there you go. You now know how to mirror an Android device on your TV. It's also possible to mirror an Android screen on a non-smart TV if you use a Chromecast device so check out how to set up Google Chromecast if this is your chosen route. For other useful guides, you can explore 5 ways to stop your smart TV from buffering and if you have a Samsung TV, change these 5 settings so it looks and performs better.

Qobuz Connect Goes Live For The Hi-Res Music And Downloading Platform
The hi-res streaming and downloading service now has Qobuz Connect, a way of controlling everything ... More via the Qobuz app and streaming directly rather than via a smartphone using AirPlay or Google Cast. For some years now, both Spotify and Tidal music streaming services have had a Connect mode. The mode enables users to stream music to their speakers or hi-fi with a direct connection using one app. Both Spotify and Tidal Connect pull music directly from their servers instead of via a smartphone using AirPlay or Google Cast. The music streaming doesn't rely on a smartphone being present. Now it's the turn of Qobuz to get the Connect treatment. The French high-resolution music streaming and download platform has announced today that users of a wide range of audio equipment can now access Qobuz Connect.

Qobuz Connect lets users pick up where they left off and seamlessly switch from one device to another without losing the thread of the music, whether using headphones, hi-fi or wireless speakers, without interruption. With Qobuz, you can drill down deep into an artist's catalog and find lots of essays and features ... More about music. With a single application to manage everything, users can control the desktop application using a mobile device and vice versa for a seamless listening experience.

How to Use AI to Troubleshoot Tech Issues
We live in a time where we hop between devices throughout the day, going from one screen to the next. The speed of innovation is faster than ever, and "older" devices can glitch, unable to handle software updates or mercury retrograde. When technology breaks, or you need to troubleshoot an issue, Google and YouTube are handy resources, but it can take a lot of time to find an answer. Now with artificial intelligence, you can get instant answers from a chatbot. No need to watch YouTube "how to" videos on double speed anymore. In this article, you'll learn how to use AI to troubleshoot any tech issue. Given that ChatGPT is the most widely used AI tool, this is the one we'll use. We'll test three tech-related searches: A workflow question: How to create labels in Gmail. A health question: How to reduce eye fatigue from computer screens. A household question: How to set up YouTube on my TV. You can do all your searching at ChatGPT, or log in if you want the tool to access your previous searches. What's special about chatbots vs. YouTube is the conversation element – if you don't understand an instruction or need further context, you can ask ChatGPT to elaborate rather than doing further research on forums and sketchy websites. Time to test it out. Here's how you could get answers to these tech questions and problems. Example prompt: "Provide a list of clear steps on how to set up labels in Gmail and have emails automatically directed to each folder." It gave me a super detailed list of instructions: I followed up with a question about applying a filter to a single email, which outlined even more specific steps. Example prompt: "How to reduce eye strain from computer? I stare at a screen for 8-plus hours a day and have bad eyesight. Provide tips, strategies, science-backed research and product suggestions." It generated suggestions like adopting the 20-20-20 rule, adjusting my screen light to a yellow hue, prioritizing eye exercises, using artificial tears for lubrication and wearing blue light glasses. (You should double-check any advice it gives you with an optometrist.) I followed up with a question about blue light filtering versus antireflective coating and whether they are the same thing. I told ChatGPT I'm short-sighted and asked for the best product recommendation. Example prompt: "How can I stream YouTube from my Vizio TV. Provide easy-to-follow steps to set this up." It gave me two options: Using the YouTube app on your Vizio smart TV, and casting YouTube from your phone or computer to your Vizio TV using Google Cast. Here's the step-by-step guide it created for me: I could keep this browser open as I'm setting it up and ask ChatGPT any follow-up questions in real time. Very handy. You could also look up questions like how to unlink your iPhone from your MacBook, security steps to take to protect your computer, how to store all your photos (between phone, hard drive and cloud), how to make your phone grayscale and less addictive, and just about anything else. Heck, you could even upload a screen recording demonstrating a problem you're having and ask ChatGPT to help troubleshoot. Just be aware of what you have on-screen when you record, because the model can access anything shown during the chat. For example, messages or notifications that pop up on your screen. Always remember to double-check what AI advises, especially when it comes to sensitive topics or security suggestions. You don't want to accidentally lose a lifetime of photos or delete something you shouldn't.

LG SHOWCASES ITS GOOGLE CAST HOTEL TVS AT ISE 2025
Technology Web Release Selection By Editor_wr On Feb 14, 2025 LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its new Google Cast-integrated hotel TVs at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025, the international systems integration and audiovisual exhibition taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from February 4-7. Google Cast, Google's technology that lets you stream your favorite entertainment and apps from your phone, tablet or computer right to your TV, enhances the guest experience with LG Hotel TVs by providing secure and convenient access to OTT streaming services. With this user-centric innovation, LG is reinforcing its leadership in the hospitality TV market, which continues to be a key area of focus for the company's fast-growing B2B business. Starting January 10, LG Hotel TVs running webOS23 or later can now offer the convenience of Google Cast with hotel-specific features. Google Cast for hotel TVs is implemented with network isolation to ensure privacy across hotel rooms. To connect a personal device to an LG Hotel TV and enjoy seamless content streaming, guests simply scan a QR code displayed on the TV screen.* This removes the need for users to input personal information or log into their preferred OTT apps on the TV. Conveniently, the connection remains active throughout the guest's stay. Upon check-out, the connection history is automatically erased, helping to deliver a hassle-free and secure user experience. LG is expanding its presence in the hospitality market, offering a wide range of innovative, tailormade solutions, including hotel TVs, software, and digital signages. In 2023, LG unveiled the world's first hotel TV with AirPlay – Apple's wireless content-sharing technology – which rolled out globally in 2024. With the addition of Google Cast support, LG's hotel TV became the first in the world to simultaneously offer both AirPlay and Google Cast, providing unparalleled convenience for guests. LG also provides the Pro:Centric management solution for hotel TVs, enabling hotel operators to effortlessly customize content for individual rooms, automatically displayed on screen when guests check in. 'LG Hotel TVs with Google Cast will deliver a seamless entertainment experience for guests' said Tiger Lan, senior director of engineering for multi-device experiences at Google. 'We're excited to see LG's momentum in bringing this seamless casting integration to the hospitality industry, providing travelers with the familiar comforts of home while on the go.' 'Many hotel guests nowadays wish to stream their favorite content from a personal device to their in-room TV,' said Paik Ki-mun, head of Information Display Business of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. 'With LG Hotel TVs integrating Google Cast, they can enjoy a secure and convenient content-streaming experience, just like they're used to at home. We will continue to strengthen our leadership in the hospitality TV market and enhance our B2B sector strategies.'
