How to Screen Mirror Motorola to TV

Do Motorola phones have screen mirroring? Can you mirror your Motorola screen to the TV within seconds? Alongside having one of the most sleek and attractive displays, Motorola phones have a built-in screen mirroring feature that you can access by sliding down the top of your screen.

With screen mirroring turned on, you can cast your phone screen to TV and enjoy watching movies or playing games on the big screen. This article explains how to screen mirror Motorola to a TV in the right way.

How to Screen Mirror Motorola to TV?

When you follow the right steps, screen mirroring Motorola to TV is easy and quick. So, let's get started with the steps to cast Motorola on TV.

1. From Quick Settings or Phone Settings

In this method, you'll need to prepare a Chromecast device and plug Chromecast into your TV to set it up, and then turn on screen mirroring from the Motorola phone settings. This step is the easiest one.

If you can't see the Chromecast TV option in the list of available devices, plug out your Chromecast from the TV, clean the HDMI port, and plug it in again.

2.From Chromecast-Enabled Apps

Chromecast-enabled apps like YouTube, Google Play Movies, Twitch, and Hulu have a built-in Chromecast screen mirroring feature. Using this feature, you can easily cast any app on your TV with just one click.

However, kindly note that this method only casts the screen of the Chrome-cast-enabled apps; you won't be able to cast your whole phone screen. For example, in the case of YouTube, you can only cast the YouTube video on your TV.

With that said, here's how to mirror a Motorola Phone to TV from Chromecast-enabled apps:

Step 1. Plug the Google Chromecast into the HDMI port of your smart TV.

Step 2. Open any Chromecast-enabled app, let's say YouTube.

Step 3. Now open the video you want to cast to your TV screen.

Step 4. Tap on the video to pause it. Now click the Cast option on the top right corner to the left of the subtitles icon.

Step 5. Your phone will search for nearby devices. Simply click the Chromecast TV option, and the YouTube video will be cast to your TV.

Step 6. Moreover, if you don't have a Chromecast, you can still mirror your phone by tapping the Link with TV code option.

Step 7. Now go to your TV, open Youtube > Settings > Link with TV code, and a blue TV code will appear on your TV. Note the code and enter it on your Motorola Phone.

And that's it, and the video will now be screen-mirrored on your TV.

Note: You can find the TV code for each Chromecast-enabled app in their settings.

3. Via Google Home

You can also mirror your Motorola phone to TV through Google Home. Google Home is a one-stop solution to control all the smart devices. Here is how to use it to mirror Motorola to TV:

Step 1. Again, plug the Google Chromecast into the HDMI port of your TV. Also, ensure your phone and TV are connected to the same network.

Step 2. Now install Google Home from the PlayStore on Motorola. Your phone should be running Android 7.1 or higher.

Step 3. Once installed, open the Google Home app and sign in with your Google account. After logging in, you will be at the homepage.

Step 4. Now tap Add > Set up device to add.

Step 5. There, find your Chromecast TV and tap on it.

Step 6. Then tap on the "Cast my screen option" in the bottom right corner.

Step 7. Tap Cast Screen on the pop-up.

Step 8. Finally, tap Start now on the next pop-up, and your Motorola screen will be mirrored to the TV.
