Still, theres one drawback.
Wouldnt it be nice if we could just put these videos on our Smart TVs?
it’s possible for you to do it using a regular desktop.
Media streaming sends a compressed video or audio file from your machine to the TV.
Then, the TV decompresses the file and plays the media in real-time.
Step 1: Setup
First, you have to configure your PC.
Next, you’re gonna wanna configure the options on the Smart TV.
We will discuss Miracast later.
Alternatively, you’re able to use your home web link as the bridge.
This option requires your PC and Smart TV to be connected to the same Wi-Fi router.
Whichever you choose, you better unlock the Wi-Fi on your Smart TV.
Step 2: Play Media Files
Once the TVs Wi-Fi is turned on, do the following.
Theres no file punch in restriction; you’re able to project anything.
However, this comes at a cost.
Screen mirroring requires more bandwidth compared to media streaming, which means a choppier video.
This is where Miracast comes in handy.
Additionally, it also wont bloat the bandwidth for your daily internet.
Granted, both your PC and TV need to support Miracast.
To find out if your PC is supported, first, verify that your Windows version is up-to-date.
After you are certain that everything is set and ready, adhere to these instructions.
A TV with built-in Miracast may sometimes require a password for PC access.
Use Media Streaming for videos and audio, but Screen Mirroring if you want to seeeverything.
