3 Ways to Learn Zoom on Your Samsung TV

Learning Zoom on a Samsung TV instead of a phone or computer has several benefits, such as providing a better learning experience with superior audio and visual quality on a large screen, while also protecting your eyes and helping you focus on the lesson... Below are some ways to connect Zoom to a Samsung TV for easy online learning that you can apply.

Guide to Online Learning on Samsung TV with Zoom

Learning Zoom on Samsung TV

Unfortunately, there is currently no software for online work or Zoom learning available for Samsung TV. This means you cannot directly install the Zoom app on your Samsung TV. Instead, you have to use other methods to join Zoom classes on your TV, such as screen mirroring from your phone or computer to your Samsung TV using Screen Mirroring or AirPlay features.

1. Connect laptop to Samsung TV via HDMI cable

One of the most reliable (and easiest) ways to connect your Samsung TV and computer is through an HDMI cable. HDMI cables transmit video and audio signals between the two devices, allowing you to learn Zoom on your Samsung TV.

To proceed with the connection, you need a computer with HDMI connectivity, a Samsung TV with HDMI port support (or use an HDMI-VGA adapter if the TV doesn't have HDMI), and an HDMI cable. Then follow the steps below:

Step 1: Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your computer.
Step 2: Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into one of the HDMI ports on your Samsung TV.
Step 3: Press the SOURCE button on the TV remote, select the corresponding input for where you plugged in the cable (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3...).

Step 4: On your laptop, press the Windows + P keys and select Duplicate.
Step 5: Open the Zoom application on your computer and use the Samsung TV screen to learn Zoom.

If your laptop doesn't have an HDMI port, you'll need to prepare a USB to HDMI adapter.

2. Use AirPlay to learn Zoom on Samsung TV (from Apple device)

AirPlay allows users to mirror their Apple devices' screens onto another AirPlay-enabled device. Therefore, if you own a Samsung TV that supports AirPlay, such as the Samsung Q60 Series (Samsung TVs manufactured from 2018 onwards), you can open Zoom on your iPhone/iPad/Mac and mirror the screen to your Samsung TV using this feature.

Certain requirements must be met to use AirPlay to learn Zoom on Samsung TV:

- Devices must be connected to the same WiFi network.
- Ensure all devices are running the latest operating system version.
- Operations on Apple devices will vary depending on the operating system version.

First, you need to enable AirPlay on your Samsung TV with the following steps:

Step 1: Turn on your Samsung TV and ensure it is connected to the Internet.
Step 2: Use the TV remote and arrow buttons up/down/left/right to navigate to Settings > General > Apple AirPlay Settings.

Step 3: Select AirPlay and switch to On mode. Here, you can choose to require a pairing code each time you use AirPlay from an Apple device or only the first time.

Now that your Samsung TV is ready for AirPlay, follow these steps to learn Zoom on your Samsung TV:

Step 1: Ensure that your iPhone or iPad is currently connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Samsung TV. AirPlay to Samsung TV will not work if both the TV and the phone are not on the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 2: On your iPhone/iPad, open Control Center and select Screen Mirroring.
Step 3: On the screen displaying the devices you can connect to, tap Samsung TV.

Step 4: Once your device is connected, you'll receive an AirPlay passcode displayed on your TV. Enter this AirPlay code on your phone, then press OK. Now, you can open Zoom for iPhone previously installed and use it on your Samsung TV.

- For Mac, the process is similar to the above.

3. Use Screen Mirroring to learn Zoom on Samsung TV (from Android device)

The Screen Mirroring feature allows you to mirror your Android phone's screen to your Samsung TV and stream content from your mobile device, similar to Apple's AirPlay. To use Screen Mirroring to learn Zoom on Samsung TV, you need a Samsung TV model that supports this feature and a smartphone, ensuring the TV and phone are connected to the same WiFi network.

Note that the screen mirroring option may have different names on phones from different manufacturers. For example, Samsung's is Smart View, while Sony's is Screen Mirroring. On your mobile device, look for the screen mirroring feature with the following names in the quick settings menu:

Follow the instructions below to use Screen Mirroring to learn Zoom on Samsung TV from an Android device:

Step 1: On your Samsung TV with Screen Mirroring feature, press the Home button on the TV remote to navigate to Settings.

Step 2: Scroll down and select General > External Device Manager.

Step 3: Select Device Connection Manager next.

Step 4: In the Device Connection Manager screen, choose Access Notification > Off to automatically connect to your phone when using screen mirroring. Here, you can also access Device List to manage phones connected to your TV.

Step 5: On your Samsung phone or other Android phone, open the quick settings menu (notification center) and turn on Smart View (or Quick Connect..., depending on the phone brand). Then, select your Samsung TV and tap Phone to device option to mirror your phone screen to the TV.

Step 6: A notification will appear on the TV screen. Select Allow to grant permission for the connection. Then, open Zoom for Android previously downloaded and you can start joining Zoom classes on your Samsung TV.

Chromecast or Roku devices are also ideal bridges between phones or PCs and TVs for learning Zoom on Samsung TV. However, the methods shared by Mytour in the article are perhaps the most convenient ways, making it easy for you to connect Zoom to your Samsung TV for online learning.

In addition, if you are using a Sony TV and want to connect to online work software, learn Zoom for effective online learning with a larger and clearer screen, you can refer to the guide in the article below by Mytour.
