Chances are you wish you knew how to cast your iPhone’s screen onto a bigger screen like a PC or TV. What you need is screen casting.

Screen casting involves streaming your device’s screen to another device or computer. We can do Screen casting with several applications, but this blog post will additionally discuss how to cast YouTube from iPhone to PC or TV. It allows you to mirror your iPhone’s screen on a computer or Chromecast-connected TV. Keep reading for instructions on how to set up Cast Screen and start streaming!

Screen casting vs screen mirroring

Screen casting and screen mirroring are two powerful technologies that allow you to project the content from your device onto another. With screen casting, the content is streamed directly from your device, while with screen mirroring (screen sharing), your display is duplicated and projected on the other device.

In recent years, the popularity of screencasting and mirroring has grown significantly due to their convenience and practicality. They allow you to share content such as videos, photos, games, and other data with others quickly and easily. For example, you can cast movies from your phone to a Chromecast streaming device or mirror your iPhone’s display onto a computer for remote work.

Statistics by the relevant authorities show that screen casting and mirroring are gaining popularity due to their ease of use. A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that 78% of Americans have used screen casting or mirroring technology at least once. This number is expected to grow in the coming years as the technology continues to become more accessible and user-friendly.

Differences and similarities between screen mirroring and casting

Screen mirroring and screen casting are similar in that they both involve displaying the content of one device on another. Also, both technologies require a mirroring App or program installed on both devices.

The primary difference is that screen mirroring is a two-way connection where both devices can send and receive data. This means it’s possible to control the device you mirror the display. On the other hand, screen casting is a one-way connection in which only the source device (the one sending the data) can control the content being displayed. Screen casting is a great way to stream movies, music, and other digital content from your iPhone to your computer or TV.

Another difference is that screen mirroring is typically used to display the full content of a device on another. In contrast, screen casting is usually limited to streaming media content like videos and music. This means that with screen mirroring, you can see not only the video or music being played but also the menus and other user interface elements. So if you’re using screen mirroring to control another device, you can do more than play videos.

Finally, screen mirroring is typically done over a local network connection, while screen casting usually requires internet use. This means you can connect two devices close to each other for screen mirroring without an internet connection.
