Introduction: Why broadcast the screen of a smartphone on a TV

Xiaomi smartphones today are not just callers, but full-fledged multimedia centers. Watching videos, games, presentations, or even duplicating a screen for easy work becomes much more comfortable when the picture is displayed on a large TV screen. But how to organize such a broadcast to avoid delays, communication interruptions or compatibility problems?

In this article, we will analyze all the current ways to transfer the screen from Xiaomi smartphones (including Redmi, POCO and Black Shark models) to TVs of different brands - from Samsung and LG to Xiaomi TV and Android TV devices. You will learn which method to choose depending on your technique, how to set up a connection without lags and what to do if the broadcast does not start.

We will pay special attention to hidden MIUI settings, which allow you to improve the broadcast quality on weak TVs or with unstable Wi-Fi. We will also analyze typical errors (for example, code 10 or 7 in Miracast) and how to fix them.

1. Wireless broadcast via Miracast (built-in MIUI functionality)

Miracast is a wireless screen transmission standard supported by most modern Xiaomi smartphones and TVs. It works without the Internet, directly connecting devices over Wi-Fi Direct. The main advantage is minimal latency, which is critical for gaming or watching videos.

To activate the broadcast via Miracast:

• 📶 Is Miracast enabled in your TV settings (usually in the Network section) → Miracast or Screen → Wireless display).
• 🔌 Does your TV support Miracast (outdated Samsung models before 2016 may not have this feature).

2. Streaming via Google Cast (Chromecast, Android TV)

If your TV supports Google Cast (built into Android TV or through devices like Chromecast, Nvidia Shield), you can use it to duplicate the screen. This method is more versatile than Miracast, but can cause delays when playing games.
