Below we have outlined the ways that people with iPhone or iPads, Androids, and laptops can connect to project Wellen on their TV.
Note: When possible, our team recommends Screen Mirroring over Screen Casting because Screen Casting is more likely to cause music playback issues.
Screen Mirroring (recommended): Your Phone/iPad/Laptop and TV show the exact same screen.
Screen Casting: Your TV shows a different screen and becomes an extension of your Phone/iPad/Laptop.
