Screen Mirroring is one of the fantastic features that the Samsung Galaxy S5 offers to help you to make things easier and take full advantage of your device. Not many people have used the Screen Mirroring option and some don’t even know about it. If you haven’t tried Screen Mirroring, we can tell you that it is definitively worth checking and here you will find out how to enable it and use it.

What does Screen Mirroring do?

With Screen Mirroring, you can project your Samsung Galaxy S5’s display onto larger displays including computer monitors and televisions. It is possible to enable Screen Mirroring by connecting an All-Share Cast dongle, HomeSync or Miracast device to your display. Once the Samsung Galaxy S5’s screen has been mirrored, you will be able to play games or enjoy media content on a larger screen.

Preliminary Steps

Before you get started, it is important to check that you have the elements needed. Here is what the process requires, depending on the method you use:

  • An All-Share Cast Wireless Hub that allows you to stream your Galaxy S5’s home screen directly to your HDTV. Samsung sells them on its official website
  • A HomeSync that allows you to mirror your Samsung Galaxy S5’s screen to your TV and even save files on a large capacity home cloud
  • You also need a HDMI cable that can transfer HD media content from a mobile device to the receiving display. HDMI cables are also available on Samsung’s official website
  • A Miracast that works as a receiving device for mirroring content from your Galaxy S5. You can get a Miracast receiver from Amazon
