Screen casting

How do I screen cast? My tablet keeps messing up & I'm wanting to cast to my TV. Thank you!

Need more details to be able to assist further To start, Is your tablet using Windows 10, Android or iOS (iPad) ?

Are you wanting to cast your full screen, or something in a specific app (like the YouTube app with Church videos, or Gospel Library, etc.)? Do you have a smart TV, or a TV with a Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, or similar device plugged into it?

Similar situation here. Bought the hardware assuming the connectivity wouldn't be a problem. Unable to finish Chromecast installation due to firewall settings. Is there a workaround? Would AppleTV have the same problem?

I'm wondering if the issue is that the Chromecast device can't connect to the Liahona network due to the need to accept the Terms of Use.

If that's the case, I'd look at Registering Devices in Technology Manager.

Cast your android screen from the google home app. Follow the link below might help you,

We have a baptism this Sunday. I was hoping to connect a Chromecast to a TV in the chapel, and then cast from my Android phone in the font room. The Liahona network may indeed be a block. I will need to test it soon.

As I feared, my "ward clerk" calling does not allow me to "Find a Device" in the Group Policy Manager of TM, so I can't add the MAC address of the Chromecast device.

Ask your STS to help you. He doesn't have to be at the meetinghouse. You can be there and activate the Chromecast device. Then when he sees it on the network, he should be able to white list it for you.

That assumes he is available when I am at the meetinghouse, or that I leave the Chromecast and TV plugged in and turned on all day, or all weekend. I gave up, took the Chromecast home with me, and then sent an email to the STS, who could then do nothing about it. My plan was to determine the MAC address of the Chromecast at my home, send it to the STS, and ask him to enter the MAC address into the Group Policy Manager. Nope. It doesn't work that way. He has to pick the MAC address from a drop-down list of "connected" devices. So the Chromecast must be in that limbo state of connected, but not fully connected, before the STS can see it in the Find a Device list.

Plan B: Ask the stake to make you an Assistant Technology Specialist.

Yup. Did that. Waiting for a decision.

Assuming approval, in the time it takes for the clerk to load you into LCR, he could white list your device.

It sounds as if there is not a separate STS who could do it. Or another ATS.

I tested casting my Android phone screen to the Chromecast at home, but I am not happy with the results. If I use the camera app, I get all the distracting camera widgets on the screen. I know there are Android live casting apps available, but I'm not sure if I want to mess with them.

I think the best thing to do is to create a one-to-one Google Meeting between my phone and my laptop. I will capture the A/V in the font room with my phone, and use my laptop to show the action on a TV in the chapel. I may connect the audio output from the laptop into the sound system in case the TV sound is not adequate.

For resolution to this issue, we were able to get this Chromecast working by using the TM register device procedures linked previously. Thanks

Yes, my STS registered our Chromecast in TM for me, since I did not have the appropriate calling to do so.

Is there an updated link that shows how to register devices in technology manager? The link shared is a dead link.
