Watch TV and mirror your phone with Multi View

Using Multi View on a Samsung TV

The Multi View feature allows you to display two things at once on your TV, Smart Monitor, or Gaming Monitor. You can view media from different sources, such as an app, Blu-ray player, or game console, on the main left screen while also mirroring your phone to the smaller screen. Multi View provides you with endless possibilities for splitting screens and viewing several types of content at the same time.

Set up and use Multi View

To access Multi View, press the Home button on the remote, and then select Multi View. Turn on the feature to get started and check the available options.

  • Select Content: Choose the content that will be displayed on the left side of the screen. If you’d like to use an external device, navigate to the Source menu, and then select Connection Guide. Then, select your device from the list.

  • Watch Mobile/Camera: Mirror or cast your phone’s content to the TV screen with the Smart View/Screen mirror button on Android mobile or the Airplay button from an iOS device. Mirror your Laptop or PC screen using the Project to a screen feature. Select a connected SmartThings camera or you can select a connected Webcam.

    Note: Your mobile device must support Screen Mirroring or Smart View. iPhones will use Airplay.

     

  • Screen size: Adjust the sizes for both screens to suit your viewing preference.  For instance, you can place the smaller window in the top right corner, or use split screen view to see both screens equally.

     

  • PIP (Picture in Picture) Position: Select the position of the smaller screen when it’s displayed on the main screen. You can choose the top left and top right corners or the bottom left and bottom right corners for the smaller screen. If you don’t like where you placed the smaller screen, you can always change it later.

     

  • Sound Output: Choose whether the audio is heard from the smaller screen or the main screen. If you have an external device connected, the output will switch from the TV’s speaker to the device’s speaker when the output is changed.

     

  • Sound Distribution: Select this option to hear the audio from both screens at once. The TV and external device speakers will play sound simultaneously.
