Watching Smart Device Screen on TV
- Enable Screen Share mode on the smart device.
- Your TV will be displayed in the list of available devices.
- Select your TV and request connection.
- Select Accept in the connection request popup window.
- After the connection is established, the TV will display the screen of the connected device.
When you connect Screen Share for the first time, a popup will appear which allows you to select Accept, Decline or Block.
- Accept : You can connect the device. No connection popup will appear from the second time.
- Decline : Do not connect the device. If you try to connect again, the popup will appear.
- Block : Do not connect the device. Even if you try to connect again, the popup will not appear and the connection will not work.
Note Should the incoming request to share a TV screen originate from an unrecognizable source (either a neighbor, visitor, or stranger in the vicinity), do not hesitate. Block the request. Blocking the request will prevent that specific Bluetooth device from trying to connect to the TV again.
Deleting Connection History
To turn off Block on OLED TV models with webOS 6.0 and webOS 22 - Go to General > Devices > External Devices > Delete Connection History.
To turn off Block on 2023 OLED TV models with webOS 23 - Go to General > External Devices > Delete Connection History.
- For a reliable connection always keep the connected device to your TV updated to the latest OS version.
- Depending on the model or manufacturer of the smart device, the Screen Share feature may not be supported.
- Connect the device to a 5 GHz router because the performance may be affected by your wireless environment.
- The response rate may vary depending upon the user’s environment.
- It differs among devices. When trying to connect to a device, refer to the device's User's Guide for more information.
- If the connection fails repeatedly, turn off the TV and the device you are trying to connect. Then turn them back on and try again.
NoteThese Screen Sharing requests are not Wi-Fi generated but more a Bluetooth functionality. Customers uninterested in making use of Screen Sharing on their television might think that by disabling the Bluetooth function on their TV it would resolve their issue. Unfortunately, since the magic motion remote controller cursor commands are transmitted via Bluetooth technology, the TV Bluetooth function is permanently set.
NoteCustomers have expressed their discontent over inability to disable this feature altogether. We have forwarded this request over to the Home Entertainment TV factory for assessment, feasibility and, hopefully, implementation as a possible TV software update. We will keep you posted
