Frequently asked questions

Is TV Mirror free?

Yes, TV Mirror is free to download and use. Some versions may show a short video ad when the app opens. Ads never appear while you are mirroring, and an optional one-time purchase removes them.

Do I need to install anything on my phone or computer?

No. iPhone, iPad and Mac use their built-in Screen Mirroring, Windows uses Chrome or Edge, and Android uses its built-in Cast feature. TV Mirror is installed only on the TV.

Which TVs are supported?

TVs and streaming boxes running Android TV or Google TV, version 8.0 or newer. That includes most Sony, TCL, Philips, Hisense, Grundig and Xiaomi Android TVs, Chromecast with Google TV and many other Google TV devices.

Does it need the internet?

Mirroring works inside your home network. Your screen is not sent over the internet. An internet connection is only needed to download the app and, in versions that show ads, to load the ad.

Is my screen recorded or uploaded?

No. The picture and sound go straight from your device to your TV and are never stored or sent to us. See the privacy policy.

Why is there a small delay?

TV Mirror buffers a fraction of a second on purpose to keep playback smooth on everyday Wi-Fi. See troubleshooting for details.

What picture quality can I expect?

Up to 1080p. From Windows up to 60 frames per second with lossless stereo sound; from Apple devices at the quality they send for Screen Mirroring.

Can two people mirror at the same time?

TV Mirror shows one device at a time. When a new device starts mirroring, it takes over from the previous one.

Does it work when the app is closed?

No. For privacy, TV Mirror only receives while it is open on the screen. When you close it, the TV disappears from the mirroring lists.

Is TV Mirror made by Apple, Google or Microsoft?

No. TV Mirror is an independent app by 12 Moon Games and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple, Google or Microsoft. Product names belong to their owners.
