Smart Tv Share For Mac

by



For the full Screen Sharing article, please visit Screen Share / Screen Mirroring - Device to TV. Screen Sharing does not require additional software. Take a look at these videos to see how it works. Note: Screen sharing using a Mac or iOS device requires an Apple TV Streaming device. In the Mac menu bar, search for the AirPlay icon that looks like a television with a triangle underneath. Click on this icon and connect to either your Apple TV unit or supported television. On your Mac, open the app or video that you’d like to stream to the television and play.

Smart TV is a good thing for multi-purpose. You can easily connect your smart tv display with your smartphone or else even with DVD players. These things are quite common but the real purpose of this post is to let you connect the display of your smart tv with your laptop i-e the Macbook and do that even wirelessly. Streaming media content to the smart TV is quite fun and this can serve you a complete home cinema experience at the same time, the whole family and group of friends can sit together to enjoy one piece of the movie. This post aims to solve the DLNA issue of connecting the MacBook to the smart TV and using the smart tv as the second big display for your videos synced through a laptop.

Sharing Your Mac/OS X Laptop Media with Smart TV:

Every smart TV has options to access the shared media content on the internet device which you are using. Like suppose you are using a wireless router to connect your laptop and smartphone on the internet, then you can use the same wireless router to share your videos, music and photos with your LED or Smart TV also, whether that is a Sony Bravia, a Samsung one or else an LG Smart TV, that doesn’t matter but the thing is that the TV which is needed to be connected must be a smart TV / LED. Following is the process to play some high-quality videos, music and photos on your smart TV:

1- You need a laptop which has Mac OS X running on it.

Download Vuze for the OS X, and install the program. OS X has probably the easiest way of installing any software or application.

3- After installing Vuze, just run the software. It’s actually a downloading application for torrents file at the same time. But the good thing which it has is the DLNA feature which makes your laptop a media server, making the video files available to your smart tv mentioned in your laptop. Thus, it means you can play the songs present in your laptop to the big screen.

4- After launching Vuze, you need to turn on the media server feature. For that look at the side panel (of software Vuze), and there you will see that your TV has been detected along with it’s applied IP address. (Be sure that you have connected your smart TV with the wireless router of your home network and also your laptop must be connected to the same network)

See at the screenshot, you’ll see that a Bravia tv has been detected. I have already enabled the device playback feature. Once you install Vuze you need to turn on the device playback feature.

5- Now, just you need to select the TV device and then, just drag and drop the videos which you want to make available on the network and the TV in the end.

6- Access the network and USB feature of your TV using the smart remote. And there you will see the Vuze media server, select that and wait for a second after some time you will see your shared videos from a laptop on the TV. That’s it , Enjoy playing videos from laptop to your sony bravia, samsung or else LG smart TV.
