your Android device is running version 4.2 or later (and is not a Google branded device running
OS 6.0 or later like a Google Nexus or Pixel), it likely supports screen mirroring. However, it is
not uncommon for manufacturers to use a different term when describing this feature. To assist
with setting up and enabling screen mirroring on your Android device, here are some common
terms used for screen mirroring.

Quick Connect

Once you identify the term used by the manufacturer of your Android device, the screen
mirroring feature is generally enabled from within the settings menu; often on a cast, connection,
network or display submenu. After you enable the feature, select your Roku player or Roku TV
from the list of discovered devices to request a connection.
To learn more about setting up screen mirroring on your Android device, refer to documentation
for your device, or contact the manufacturer. You may also want to try an internet search using
the term “screen mirroring” along with the brand and model of your device.
