Fire TV may show its screen saver after a while. Its settings are under Settings, Display and Sounds.

• From an iPhone, iPad or Mac: on the Roku, open Settings, Apple AirPlay and HomeKit, and turn AirPlay on. Then follow the Apple TV steps below.
• From an Android phone or a Windows computer: use screen mirroring. On Android it is often called Smart View or Cast; on Windows 11, press the Windows key and K. Choose Allow on the TV.

Not every Roku, phone or computer can do this. The device has to stay on and on the same Wi-Fi while it shows the page.

1. Connect the iPhone, iPad or Mac to the same Wi-Fi as the Apple TV.
2. Open your TV address in Safari.
3. Open Control Center, choose Screen Mirroring and pick your Apple TV. Enter the code if one shows.

Keep the device on and unlocked: on an iPhone or iPad, set Settings, Display and Brightness, Auto-Lock to Never. On the Apple TV, set Settings, General, Sleep After to Never.

1. On a computer on the same Wi-Fi, open your TV address in Chrome.
2. Open the menu with three dots, choose Cast, save and share, then Cast.
3. Pick your TV. Keep the computer on and the tab open.

From an Android phone: in the Google Home app, choose your TV, then Cast my screen.

Chrome on an iPhone or iPad cannot cast a tab. Use AirPlay or a computer instead.

1. Plug the computer into the TV with an HDMI cable.
2. Open your TV address in Chrome, Edge or Safari.
3. Go full screen: press F11 on Windows, or Control, Command and F together on a Mac.
4. Turn off sleep. On Windows 11: Settings, System, Power and battery, then set the screen and sleep times to Never. On a Mac: System Settings, Lock Screen, then never turn the display off on the power adapter.
