Hey guys,
So I just picked up a Roku streaming stick last night. I am currently at a dorm that does not have wifi, and I don't have the option of getting wifi. Fortunately I have unlimited data on my phone.
The dream is to do some sort of screen sharing from my phone to my roku, utilizing something like bluetooth for the process. However ive not been able to find any articles on the matter that match exactly what I'm looking for. I've found some sketchy looking apps that let me do it, but the connection isnt great and I am suspicious that they may be doing nefarious things behind the curtain.
Phone is a Galaxy s7.
Not sure of the exacts on the Roku, but it is a Streaming Stick!
Oh, and though I didn't explicitly say it, yes the Roku is connected to a compatible t.v.
Any help is appreciated!
Miracast has screen mirroring, also known as Smart View in Samsung phones, but newer phones and Motorola phones do not support Miracast. They use Chromecast which requires an internet connection. If your phone doesn't say screen MIRRORING or Smart View then it won't work without an internet connection. If it says CAST instead of screen mirroring then it's Chromecast and won't work.
