Screen Share on Xiaomi Redmi Note: how to turn on the screen on TV or other display

Introduction: why you need to broadcast the screen on Xiaomi Redmi Note

The Screen Share feature on Xiaomi Redmi Note smartphones allows real-time transmission of images from the phone’s display to external devices such as TVs, monitors or even other smartphones, which is convenient for presentations, watching movies on the big screen, streaming games or showing photos to friends. However, not all users know that the setting of this feature depends on the Redmi Note model, the MIUI version and even on the firmware.

Unlike Apple AirPlay or Samsung Smart View, Xiaomi doesn’t have a single, one-stop solution, using a combination of standard protocols (Miracast, Google Cast) and proprietary technologies. For example, on the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the on-board algorithm may differ from the Redmi Note 8 due to hardware limitations. In this article, we will discuss all available methods, including hidden settings and avoiding possible errors.

• 🔗 Branded solutions – some Redmi Note models (e.g. Note 11 Pro)+ 5G) Support Mi Screen Sharing for Xiaomi ecosystem devices (Lamps, speakers, TV).
