Casting vs. Mirroring: What’s the Difference?
You might hear ‘casting’ and ‘mirroring’ thrown around, but what’s the difference? Let’s break it down:
Casting: This sends specific content from a mobile app to your TV. While casting, your phone is free for other things like checking messages. Playback continues even if you turn off your phone.
Screen Mirroring: This shows your entire mobile device’s screen on your TV. You see everything—the whole shebang. Mirroring doesn’t use your Roku remote for control; it’s all done through your phone.
