How to Screen Mirror Your Home Movies to Your Smart TV

Step 1: Save Your YouTube Playlist Link

Before you start, make sure your YouTube playlist link is saved so you can easily access it.

• iPhone Users: Copy the playlist link, open the Notes app, create a new note, and paste it. Tap Done.

• Android Users: Copy the playlist link, open Google Keep (or your preferred notes app), create a note, and paste the link. Save it for easy access.
  
  

Tip: This is especially useful if you plan to create playlists of your old home movies after digitizing your tapes.

Step 2: Connect Your Devices to the Same Wi-Fi

For screen mirroring YouTube to your smart TV, your phone/tablet and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

• Check your TV’s Wi-Fi settings.

• Make sure your phone is connected to the same network.
  
  

A strong Wi-Fi connection ensures smooth video playback with minimal buffering.

Step 4: Tips for the Best Viewing Experience

• Keep your device charged—screen mirroring can drain batteries quickly.

• Use a stable Wi-Fi connection to avoid interruptions.

• Control volume from your TV for smooth playback.
