How to Cast a Zoom Meeting to Your TV

This article outlines how to cast a Zoom meeting from your computer or smartphone using Chromecast, Roku, and AirPlay.

How to Cast Zoom to a TV With Chromecast

One of the easiest ways to do a Zoom cast is with a Chromecast. Some TVs have Chromecast built-in, but it's also available as a separate streaming device. It lets you cast your whole computer, a single browser tab, or your phone screen.

Cast Zoom From a Computer

All you need is the Chrome web browser. Here's how to see your Zoom call on the TV:

1. Launch the Zoom meeting as you normally would on your computer. Wait until everyone is connected and you can view the video feeds of other participants. 

   

2. Open Chrome's three-dot menu at the top right, and then go to Save and share > Cast.

3. Select Sources and then Cast screen.

   

   Choose Cast tab if you're using the Zoom web client (i.e., the meeting exists in your Chrome browser). The Cast screen option will cast your whole desktop to your TV, which is necessary if Zoom is running through the desktop app.

4. You’ll see a pop-up window where you can select which monitor to cast. Choose the one that’s displaying the Zoom meeting and select Share.

   

Cast Zoom From a Phone

Android users can mirror their display to a Chromecast-enabled TV via the Google Home app. It's as easy as tapping a few buttons.

1. Open the Google Home app and select the Chromecast from the Devices tab.

2. Tap Cast my screen.

3. Tap Cast screen to mirror your phone's display and audio on your TV.

4. Open Zoom to cast your Zoom call to your TV. As long as the Zoom app is front and center on your phone or tablet, you'll also see it on your TV.
   

   

   Turn your phone to landscape mode so the call fills the entire screen. Also, consider going into Do Not Disturb mode to avoid alerts that might go off during the meeting.

How to Use Roku for Casting Zoom to a TV

Roku users are in luck! Much like Chromecast, the screen mirroring feature built-in to Roku can display a Zoom call on the TV via a phone or computer.

Cast Zoom From a Computer

Here's how it works in Windows 11 and Windows 10:

1. Open Windows 11 Settings to Bluetooth & devices, and then select Add device.

   If you're on Windows 10, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, and then select Add Bluetooth or other device.

   

2. Select Wireless display or dock.

   

3. Select your Roku.

   

   Depending on your Roku's screen mirroring options, you may need to accept the casting prompt on the TV.

4. Select Change projection mode > Duplicate to have Roku duplicate the screen that’s displaying your Zoom meeting.

   

Cast Zoom From a Phone

You will need to have your Roku device already set up, on the same Wi-Fi network as your phone, and have the Roku app installed on your phone.

1. Open Settings and search for Smart View. You might need to enable the option if it's not already turned on.

2. Tap your Roku from the list.

3. Select Start now when asked to start casting.

   

4. You might need to select Allow on the TV to accept the request.

5. Switch to the Zoom app and position your device in landscape mode to see Zoom cast on your TV.

Using AirPlay to Cast Zoom

You can mirror your device using AirPlay and Apple TV from macOS or iOS.

• iOS: Open Control Center and tap Screen Mirroring. Then, tap the Apple TV or other AirPlay-compatible display. Your Zoom meeting will now be mirrored on that TV.
• Mac: Click Control Center from the menu bar. Then, choose the Screen Mirroring icon and select your Apple TV.
