Quick start: How to stream or cast to the TV
Below is a simple, device‑agnostic walkthrough. Features and on‑screen menus vary by TV model, but these steps cover the essentials.
Before you begin
- Connect your phone, tablet, or laptop to the hotel Wi‑Fi. Streaming and casting work best when your device and the TV are on the same network.
- Have your app logins handy. You’ll sign in to your own streaming services as you normally do.
- Keep your device close to the TV. Proximity helps with discovery and pairing.
Step‑by‑step casting/streaming
- Turn on the Smart TV in your room and wait for the home screen to load.
- Open your preferred streaming app on your personal device.
- Look for the cast or share-to-TV option in the app. Follow any on‑screen prompts to select the TV in your room.
- Start playback from your device; the TV will take over and stream the content.
That’s it—once connected, you can typically use your device as a remote to pause, play, scrub, or adjust subtitles.

- Use your device’s screen lock and keep it updated to maintain account security.
