I am able to cast from the YouTube app on my mobile device but not Netflix.
Is there a way to cast from my mobile device to my Roku tv using Androids screen cast feature or if I'm in a mobile app for which an equivalent app is unavailable on Roku tv? I've been able to do these functions on my Android TV.
Hi mkatoma,
Welcome to the Roku Community.
You can of course cast to your Roku TV what you are already watching on your mobile device. To use casting, the supported app must be installed on both your mobile device and your Roku streaming device. You must also make sure to connect your phone or tablet to the same wireless network as your Roku device.
You can do this wirelessly with supported apps like YouTube and Netflix by opening the casting icon on a mobile device on your phone or tablet and selecting your Roku device. The channel will launch automatically on your Roku device and playback will begin.

Keep us posted on how it goes.

As previously noted, I am still unable to cast via Netflix, despite having downloaded the Netflix app on both my phone and my Roku TV as well as connecting to the same wifi network.
Also, can you address my questions regarding the general screencast feature?
Hi mkatoma
Thank you for the inquiry!
If you are unable to cast Netflix from your phone to your Roku TV even though you have downloaded the Netflix app on both devices and they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, there are a few things you can try:
- Restart both devices. Sometimes simply restarting both your phone and Roku TV can help resolve any connection issues.
- Make sure both devices are up to date. Check for any available updates on both your phone and Roku TV and install them if necessary.
- Check your Wi-Fi connection. Make sure your phone and Roku TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that the network is functioning properly. Try resetting your Wi-Fi router if necessary.
- Check your Netflix account settings. Make sure your account settings are configured to allow casting. Go to your Netflix account settings and make sure that "Smartphone or tablet" is selected as a playback device.
We hope it helps!
