Samsung Galaxy phones use a feature called Smart View to cast content to other displays. This is Samsung’s screen mirroring technology that allows a phone or tablet to send content to a Samsung smart TV or other wireless receiver. Think of Smart View as similar to the built-in AirPlay technology on iPhone and built-in Google Cast on other Android devices.

The first step to casting and screen mirroring your Samsung Galaxy phone is to access Smart View.
There are a few ways to do this on your Samsung Galaxy. This guide walks you through each:
Swipe down from the top of your Samsung Galaxy screen to reveal Quick Settings. This will display several icons for quick access. The Smart View icon may be here. It's the first icon in the image below and looks like a play button surrounded by two semicircles. If you don’t see Smart View here, move to step 2.
When you open the Quick Settings tray by default, it displays an abbreviated view with only a single row of icons. You can pull the tray down again to reveal the extended view. This displays a full page of available Quick Settings options. Look for Smart View here or swipe to the next page of Quick Settings options to find the icon.
If you don’t see Smart View here, move to step 3.
If you can’t see a Smart View icon anywhere on your Samsung Galaxy phone, you can search for it. Swipe down from the top of your screen to reveal the Quick Settings tray. Tap the search icon (magnifying glass) and enter “Smart View.” The search results will then display the Smart View icon.
Now that you can access Smart View, follow this guide for the complete steps to casting and screen mirroring with Samsung Smart View to a computer, TV or other display. Our guide walks you through everything you need to know.
