Screencasting troubles Roku won't show up

Jump to solution

My phone and Roku are on the same network. I have a Google pixel 8 but my Roku will not show up on my casting options. Anyone know how to fix this?

Rokus accept casting via Miracast and Apple Airplay.   Google dropped Miracast from its Pixel phones in 2013 in order to push its own Chromecast protocol.  

The Google Playstore has several apps claiming to use Miracast.  I have no experience with any of them.
