Here’s the list of supported TVs: Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast. Other manufacturers are also supported but we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility due to different operating systems and TV models. Also, if your TV uses DLNA then you may experience random connection issues.

In some cases, issues may be caused by an older router. In this case, we would advise you to contact us at support@appvillelimited.com and provide details about your router (usually, a model name or a picture of a model located at the back of the router may be enough).

Screen Mirroring: Tap the large round button with two screens on the app’s home screen.

• Casting a video: open the video in the in-app browser, wait for it to load, then tap it in the player at the bottom
  

You can also cast from YouTube, Vimeo, TED, Twitch, or stream media from the Gallery saved on your phone. 

Just use Screen Mirroring to mirror any app from your phone’s screen.

If you are using the Cast feature, make sure your video has sound; it will play on the TV.

For the Screen Mirroring feature, currently, audio functionality on TV is available only for premium users. If you already have a subscription, audio support for mirroring might not be available due to your specific TV model. At present, audio works with LG, Samsung, and Chromecast TVs. Our team is working hard to extend it to other TV models as soon as possible.

If you connected successfully but your connection drops after a few minutes, please describe the issue and let us know which type of content you were viewing (photos or videos, video from browser, YouTube, or other streaming service). Send us a note here: support@appvillelimited.com.
