You also need a TV that has Chromecast built-in to work with Android or AirPlay built-in to work with iPhone. To get started, you need two phones – one to turn on the hotspot and another to connect to it and screencast. Unlike Miracast, this option also works on the iPhone. That way, you can use the in-built Chromecast and Airplay option to mirror on TV. If Miracast isn’t available on your TV and you don’t want to get a receiver, then the best option you have is to create a Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Or, you can do a quick Google search to check whether your TV supports Miracast or not.

To check whether your TV supports Miracast or not, open the Apps menu and search for options like Screen Mirroring, Screen share, Miracast, Screen Cast, etc. To get started, you need an Android phone that runs on Android 5 or above and Smart TV that supports Miracast. As long as your TV and Android phone support Miracast, you are good to go. Unlike Chromecast that needs Wi-Fi to cast to TV, Miracast uses Wi-Fi direct to connect two devices wirelessly without Wi-Fi. But before going through all of them, let’s start with the in-built option that helps users to connect their phone to TV without Wi-Fi network. Of course, each method has its pros and cons. In fact, there are multiple ways to do so from creating a Wi-Fi hotspot to using proprietary hardware like Samsung DeX.
