Cast Your iPhone to a Smart TV — Through the Browser

AirPlay needs a compatible TV on the same network. The TV browser needs neither.

Hotel TV without AirPlay? Older Samsung or LG that never got iPhone support? A projector with a smart stick? If the screen has a browser, CarMirror puts your iPhone on it — over the internet, so it works even when your phone is on mobile data and the TV is on hotel Wi-Fi.

Step by step

1. Start the broadcast on your iPhone — Open CarMirror and tap the beam button.
2. Open the TV browser — Samsung Internet, LG webOS Browser, or any browser app — go to carmirror.live.
3. Enter your code — Six digits, then fullscreen. Photos, videos and apps mirror instantly.

When browser casting beats AirPlay

• Different networks: AirPlay requires the same Wi-Fi; CarMirror does not care.
• Any brand: Tizen, webOS, Android TV, Fire TV browser — all fine.
• Guest screens: hotels, meeting rooms, a friend's TV — no pairing with the network needed.

The TV keeps its screen awake automatically while watching. DRM apps (Netflix, Disney+) black out during iOS screen recording — that limit applies to every mirroring method.
