Screen mirror Google Pixel 7 to Cast-enabled TVs
It’s easy to wirelessly screen share your Pixel 7 directly to your TV without needing a digital media player like a Chromecast. All you need is a TV with Cast-receiving capabilities. Most major TV brands like Sony, LG, Vizio and Hisense added Cast receiving technology years ago.
Step 1 — Connect to network
Make sure the Google Pixel 7 and the TV are connected to the same wifi network.
Step 2 — Open Quick Settings
Swipe down from the top of Pixel screen to reveal the Quick Settings menu. Swipe down a second time to reveal more settings.
Step 3 – Select Screen Cast
Select the Screen Cast option in the Quick Settings menu. If you do not see the Screen Cast option, tap the edit button (pencil icon) in the bottom right to reveal more setting tiles.
Note: While editing, you can hold and drag your most frequently used setting tiles to a more easily accessible spot in your Quick Settings menu.
Step 4 – Select TV
Select your TV from the list of available Cast receivers that appear.
Step 5 – Begin Mirroring
Select “Start Now” if asked to start screen recording or casting.
That’s it! Your Google Pixel 7 is now wirelessly mirroring to your TV. Everything you do on your phone will appear on the TV. Enjoy!
Screen mirror Google Pixel 7 to TVs without Cast
If your TV is not equipped with Cast receiving capabilities, you’ll need to a digital media player connected to your TV. A Chromecast is a good option if you need the ability to Cast a Pixel 7 to the TV. Simply plug the Chromecast (or media player with Cast capabilities) into one of the HDMI ports on your TV.
You can then use the in-app cast options in supported apps like YouTube, Netflix and others to stream content to your TV. You can mirror your entire Pixel screen to your TV using the steps above. Just select the Chromecast as your destination in step 4.

You may need to mirror a Pixel to a computer to:
-
Record demos or tutorials with webcam video and voiceover audio
-
Deliver a presentation from your Pixel to a computer connected to a larger display via HDMI
-
Quickly share a Pixel screen during a videoconference you joined from your computer
-

Step 1 — Download and open Reflector on Mac or Windows
Step 2 — Connect to network
Make sure the Pixel 7 and your computer are connected to the same wifi network.
Step 3 — Open Quick Settings
Swipe down from the top of Pixel screen to reveal the Quick Settings menu. Swipe down a second time to reveal more settings.
Step 4 – Select Screen Cast
Select the Screen Cast option in the Quick Settings menu.
Step 5 – Select Reflector
Select your Reflector-enabled computer from the list of available Cast receivers.

Screen mirror Google Pixel 7 to TVs, projectors, interactive whiteboards and other displays at work or school
The native Screen Cast option mentioned above is a great way to quickly share content from the Pixel 7, but it’s not a viable solution for collaborative environments like schools and businesses.
