    Connecting Your Computer to Your TV: Casting, Mirroring, and AirPlay Options

    Connecting your computer to your TV via casting, mirroring, or AirPlay can affect the timing of our filtering. We highly recommend connecting your computer to your TV with an HDMI cable. If you would like to try casting, mirroring, or AirPlay, here are some links to different methods:

    (These links take you directly to support sites outside of Clearplay)

    • Apple AirPlay (for computers and Apple TV): link

    • Amazon Fire Stick: link

    • Google Chromecast Screen Mirroring: link (Please note: Filters can’t work unless you cast your entire computer screen.)

    • ROKU Screen Mirroring: link

    Wireless mirroring/casting may cause poor playback. If you are experiencing pixelated video, or audio that is not in sync with the video, we suggest using an HDMI cable to connect your computer to your TV.

    Additional support for mirroring your screen

    If you encounter any problems while casting, mirroring, or using AirPlay for playback—such as a black screen, audio issues, or video synchronization issues—please reach out directly to the respective companies for your mirroring/casting device:
