Mirroring your mobile device screen to your Samsung projector allows you to share content like photos, videos, presentations, and apps on a larger display. One common method for Samsung devices is using the SmartThings app with a feature called Tap View.
To mirror your screen to your Samsung projector using the Tap View feature via the SmartThings app, follow these simple steps:
Enabling Tap View for Screen Mirroring
Tap View is a convenient feature on compatible Samsung devices that lets you quickly mirror your phone's screen to a connected TV or projector by simply tapping the phone against the device. To use this feature with your Samsung projector, you first need to enable it within the SmartThings app.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Launch the SmartThings app on your mobile device. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version for optimal performance.
- Select Settings within the SmartThings app on your mobile device. You can usually find the Settings option within the app's menu or profile section.
- Set Tap View to on. Look for the Tap View setting and toggle it to the 'on' position. This activates the feature on your mobile device, allowing it to initiate a connection by tapping.
Upon initiating a connection for the first time using Tap View, you will need to select Allow on a pop-up window of the Projector. This prompt appears on the projector screen to confirm that you authorize the connection from your mobile device. Once allowed, subsequent connections using Tap View might not require this step.
Using Tap View to Mirror
Once Tap View is enabled in the SmartThings app, initiating mirroring is designed to be straightforward:
- Gently tap your compatible Samsung mobile device against the side or edge of your Samsung projector.
- Your phone should vibrate slightly, and a prompt will appear on your device asking if you want to start mirroring.
- Confirm on your phone, and your screen should appear on the projector.
Note: Compatibility and exact steps may vary slightly depending on your specific Samsung projector model and mobile device.
This method provides a quick and intuitive way to get your mobile content displayed on your projector screen, perfect for sharing content spontaneously with others.
