To easily transfer data between your Samsung Smart TV and Samsung phone, use Wi-Fi Direct. This technology enables direct connections between devices without the need to link them to a Wi-Fi router. This means you can stream photos, videos, or presentations from your Samsung phone to your Samsung TV, even if the TV is not connected to the internet. Today, Mytour will guide you on how to connect your Samsung Smart TV to Wi-Fi Direct.
Steps
Activate Wi-Fi Direct on your Samsung Smart TV. First, make sure your TV is ready to accept Wi-Fi Direct connections. Using the TV remote, press the Menu button. Scroll down to the Network menu, then press the center button to select. On the Network page, choose 'Wi-Fi Direct'.
Start the connection from your Samsung phone. On your phone’s home screen, pull down the Apps menu and tap Settings. Next, go to the Connections page and tap Wi-Fi, then select 'Wi-Fi Direct'. From the list of available devices, select your Samsung TV.
Accept the connection request on the TV. After setting up the connection from your phone, a prompt will appear on the TV screen asking if you want to accept the connection request. Select 'OK' to accept. Shortly after, a confirmation message will appear on the TV, indicating the connection was successful. Now, you can begin using Wi-Fi Direct!
Cast photos to your Samsung TV. A popular feature you can use via Wi-Fi Direct is casting photos from your phone to your Samsung TV. This option is perfect if you’re hosting guests and want the TV screen to complement the ambiance.
- To cast a photo, first open the gallery on your phone and select the photo you want to display. Then, tap the screen mirroring icon at the top to send the photo to the TV.
