Why when i want to cast a video to my tv, my tv is not under the options?

Jump to solution

Hello, i’m new to the roku community since i finally have my own that i bought. my mom has a small roku i would use to cast from my macbook to there. when i want to cast a video from my macbook to my my roku tv , it’s nowhere under the options (yes my tv has a specific name). i can screen mirror but id prefer to hit the cast button option instead.
