Modern Xiaomi Smart TVs turn the living room into a full-fledged multimedia center, allowing you to display content from a mobile device to a large diagonal in just a few touches. This feature is indispensable for viewing family photos, showing work presentations or games on the wide screen when the smartphone’s capabilities become insufficient. Users often look for ways to display the phone screen on the Xiaomi TV to enjoy a quality picture without delay.
There are several proven methods of connection, each with its own features and software requirements, we will examine the native capabilities of MIUI TV and Android, and will consider third-party solutions for devices of different generations. Understanding the principles of wireless protocols will help avoid common errors in configuration.
For successful synchronization, it is critical that both devices are on the same network, since the router is the intermediary of the video stream. Connection stability depends on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal and the version of the TV firmware. Below we will discuss in detail the algorithms for various use cases.
Network and device preparation requirements
The foundation of any wireless broadcast is to set up your local network correctly. Make sure your smartphone and Xiaomi TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot. If you have a dual-band router, it is advisable that both devices operate at 5 GHz to reduce latency, although 2.4 GHz is also suitable for static images.
Check that the external device detection feature is enabled on the TV. In the standard PatchWall shell or Android TV, this is usually activated by default, but after resetting the settings, the settings may have changed. It is also worth updating the TV system software through the Settings menu → About TV → System Update to eliminate protocol compatibility errors.
You should also check your power saving settings on your smartphone. Aggressive battery saving algorithms can force the background connection needed to maintain a video stream. Add a broadcast app or system service to power saving exceptions.
⚠️ Note: When using Guest Network (WIFI) the screen will not work because the router isolates the devices from each other for security reasons.
☑️ Checking before connection
Broadcasting through the built-in Mi Remote and Cast function
The easiest way to show your phone screen to a Xiaomi TV is to use the built-in Mi Cast protocol (or simply “Translation” in newer versions of Android), which requires no additional apps and works on most modern smartphones running MIUI and HyperOS.
To start the process, open the control center on your smartphone (swipe down from the top right corner) and find the icon "Translation" or "Cast." Once activated, the phone will start searching for available devices on the network. Your Xiaomi TV should appear on the list, possibly with a prefix [TV] or model name.
Once you select the TV, you'll see a request for confirmation of connection on your smartphone screen, and you'll see a notification on your TV screen that the device is trying to connect -- click "Accept" with the remote, and from that point on, the image from your smartphone will be duplicated on the big screen in real time.
💡
If the TV isn’t found, try temporarily disabling the VPN on your smartphone, as it can redirect traffic through another region, hiding local devices.
It's worth noting that image quality depends on the power of the router. At high resolution 1920x1080 or 4K, there's a slight cursor delay, which is normal for Miracast technology. It's not critical for video files, but for dynamic games, the delay can be 1-2 seconds.
Using Chromecast technology for Android and iOS
Many Xiaomi TV models run on Android TV, which implies built-in support for Google Cast. This allows you to stream content not only from Android smartphones, but also from iPhone devices through compatible applications.
Unlike full screen duplication, Chromecast often works by "sending" content links. For example, when you open a YouTube video on your phone, you click the broadcast icon, and the TV loads the stream itself, freeing up the smartphone for other tasks.
For iOS users, the situation is a little more complicated, as native AirPlay support is not available in all Xiaomi models.If your TV does not support AirPlay 2 directly, you can install the AirScreen app from the Google Play store on the TV, which emulates the reception of signals from Apple devices.
The advantage of this method is high stability and support for 4K HDR content in streaming services.The Google Cast protocol is optimized for high-bitrate video, minimizing compression artifacts.
Mi Home application for management and broadcasting
Xiaomi’s ecosystem offers a universal solution through the Mi Home app, which is especially useful if you want to not just duplicate the screen, but manage media files stored in the phone’s memory or stream photo albums.
Once you add your TV to the Mi Home app, go to the device management section. The tool menu often has the Translation or DLNA option. Once you select it, you can open the smartphone gallery and send a photo or video to your TV. This works on the DLNA protocol, which is supported by almost all smart TVs.
The good thing about this method is that it's less demanding of the operating system version. Even on older models of Xiaomi TV with PatchWall first generation, the function works steadily. However, for interactive use of the smartphone interface, this method is not suitable - it is only for media files.
Make sure that the region of your account in the app matches the region you selected when you initially set up your TV (this usually affects the list of available devices).
Third-party applications for screen duplication
If the regular funds do not work or you need advanced functionality, third-party solutions come to the rescue. In the Google Play app store, you can find many programs on the TV itself, such as Web Video Caster or AirScreen.
Web Video Caster allows you to stream video from your smartphone browser directly to your TV without system restrictions. You open a website with a video on your phone, the app pulls out a video stream and sends it to TV. It's the perfect way to view content from sites that don't have an official Android TV app.
For full mirroring (when the phone screen is fully copied to TV), ApowerMirror or LetsView has proven to be a great application, requiring the client to be installed on both the phone and the TV, and once connected, they create their own data channel, often providing lower latency than a standard Miracast.
⚠️ Note: Third-party apps may contain ads or require subscriptions to unlock features such as streaming to 1080p. Read the terms of use carefully.
