I’m trying to figure out how to cast from my iPad to my Samsung TV, but I’m not sure what the best method is. I want to watch videos and show photos on the TV screen, but I’m having trouble getting my iPad to connect. Does anyone know how to cast from iPad to Samsung TV without needing extra devices?
To cast from your iPad to a Samsung TV, there are a few steps you can follow. First, if your Samsung TV supports AirPlay, you can easily use this feature for screen mirroring. Start by ensuring that both your iPad and Samsung TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Once they are connected, swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPad to open the Control Center. From there, tap on ‘Screen Mirroring’ and you should see your Samsung TV listed. Select your TV, and your iPad screen should appear on the TV. This method is great for streaming videos, showing photos, or even sharing presentations.
However, not all Samsung TVs have AirPlay built-in, especially older models. If your TV doesn’t show up on the list, it likely doesn’t support AirPlay. But don’t worry - there’s still a way to cast from iPad to Samsung TV. You can use a third-party app like DoCast, which is specifically designed to enable casting from iOS devices to various smart TVs, including Samsung. DoCast is easy to set up: just download the app, ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, and follow the prompts to start mirroring your screen.
I completely agree with the first answer @dilit25008 - using AirPlay is the simplest method if your Samsung TV supports it, and DoCast is a fantastic alternative for TVs that don’t. DoCast is particularly versatile and works well with many different TV models, making it a great choice for casting from iPad to Samsung TV.
In addition to these options, you might also consider using a mirroring app like Smart View, which is specifically designed for Samsung TVs.
If you’re looking for more flexibility, another option could be to use an HDMI adapter to connect your iPad directly to your TV. This method provides a stable connection without relying on Wi-Fi, which can be particularly useful if your wireless network isn’t as strong. Combining these solutions gives you multiple ways to ensure you can enjoy your iPad content on your Samsung TV, regardless of your TV model or preferences.
