How to plug and play screen mirroring your smart phones

Thank you again for purchasing an EZCast Wire video adapter.

I bet you are wondering, “I love the plug and play feature, and it’s so responsive for games!”

To make sure you can quickly get your EZCast Wire up and running, here are some of the best video guides to show you how to connect phone to TV with USB.

This guide is broken down into sections based on devices, so you can quickly jump down to the desired section based on your smart device to mirror smartphone to TV without Wi-Fi.

Plug and play to screen mirror your iPhone screen

EZCast Wire is specifically designed to plug and play with your iPhone.

After you install the EZCast Wire to the HDMI port of your TV and plug in the power, screen mirroring your iPhone is as easy as plugging in the lightning cable from EZCast Wire to mirror iPhone to TV.

If it’s the first time you use your iPhone with the EZCast Wire, you might need to “Trust” the device to access screen mirroring.

The wired connection makes the screen mirroring process more responsive than the wireless EZCast products.

This makes EZCast Wire ideal for playing iPhone games on the big screen.

Plug and play screen mirroring from an Android phone

Even though EZCast Wire screen mirroring with Android phone isn’t as streamlined as with iPhones, it is still very easy.

You first need to install the EZCast app to your Android phone.

Next, plug in the USB cable from EZCast Wire to your Android phone, and use the EZCast app to discover the EZCast Wire device.

Then you’ll be asked to turn on the USB Tethering function to complete the connection.

Finally, your Android phone screen will be mirrored on HDTV via the EZCast Wire dongle.

Use the EZCast app to upgrade the EZCast Wire

Since the EZCast Wire doesn’t require internet to run, when there is a new firmware available online, it doesn’t automatically upgrade to the latest firmware.

Therefore, we recommend you install EZCast companion app to take advantage of the additional features, for Android or iOS, on your phones and check for firmware upgrades from time to time.

Whenever there is an upgrade available, the upgrade will be downloaded via your mobile internet and installed on EZCast Wire dongle.
