How to Fix the Hisense Roku TV Screen Mirroring Not Working?

Tip: Complete the steps in the troubleshooting guide in numeric order.

1. Check Compatibility of Devices

No amount of troubleshooting will fix screen mirroring issues if the device you are trying to use does not support the feature or is incompatible.

If your Hisense Roku TV is a newer model, it should support this function by default.

We have included tips on ensuring the best compatibility for various devices.

Here are some general ways to check device compatibility: 

• If using an Apple device, ensure your Hisense TV model supports screen mirroring with Apple devices: Some older or legacy Hisense TV models might have limited compatibility.
• Some Hisense Roku TVs require specific apps or devices, like Apple TV, to mirror iPhones.
• If using an Android device, ensure it’s running an operating system of 4.2 or newer.
• When using a Windows or Mac device, ensure they run the latest software version.

Note: Inspect your Hisense Roku TV cables for damage or a faulty input port. These can cause screen mirroring issues when using a casting device such as a Google Chromecast.

2. Switch To a Screen Mirroring Mode

To successfully stream or screen mirror, you must ensure that the screen mirroring/cast settings are enabled on your mirroring device.

Even if you pair your Roku TV to your screen mirror device, it won’t function unless the specific mode is engaged. 

Depending on your device manufacturer, you might have to look for settings like “Smart View,” “Cast,” or “Wireless Display” and ensure they’re turned on. 

If you are using an Android device, try these steps to enable screen mirroring: 

1. Swipe down from the top of your Android to reveal the quick settings menu. 
2. On some devices, you might have to swipe down twice.
3. Find and Tap on ‘Cast‘ or sometimes also listed as ‘Screen Mirroring.’ or ‘Smart View.’
4. Select your Roku TV 
5. Once your TV appears on the list, tap on it to confirm the connection.

If prompted, enter any code to verify your screen mirroring Android device.

If you use a Windows PC, the screen mirror function can be toggled from the Action Center by clicking Connect and selecting your Roku TV as a receiving device.

Note: When you have performed these steps, it's a good practice to restart both devices and attempt to mirror again.

3. Perform a Software Update 

When the software of your Hisense Roku TV or streaming device is outdated, you could have trouble screen mirroring.

To prevent this, you should ensure that your Hisense Roku TV and the mirroring device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or computer) are running the latest software/firmware versions. 

Here are some instructions on how to ensure your software is up-to-date. Note these steps might vary based on your Hisense TV model:

1. Go to ‘Settings‘ via your Hisense Roku TV remote.
2. Scroll down and select ‘System.’
3. From the list, select ‘System update.’
4. Check for and apply any available updates.

Afterwards. your Roku TV will automatically search for any available software updates. If there’s an update available, it will be displayed.

Note: If you don't have a WiFi connection, install the updates from a different device on a flash drive and install them offline to your Hisense TV.

4. Check the Mirroring App and Features

If these settings are not enabled by default, you must manually check them.

Here is how to check if your screen mirroring feature is enabled:

1. On your Hisense Roku TV, go to ‘Settings.’
2. Navigate to ‘System‘ > ‘Screen mirroring.’
3. Set the mode to ‘Prompt’ or ‘Always allow.’

Note: Disable any VPNs or Proxy used by your mirroring source device. VPNs can interfere with screen mirroring by assigning random IP addresses to your devices.

5. Check the WiFi Connection

If your Hisense Roku TV and screen mirroring device are not on the same WiFi, this feature won’t work.

2. Navigate to and select ‘Settings.’
3. Scroll down and select ‘Network.’

6. Perform a Factory Reset 

When you do a reset on your Hisense Roku TV, this could help fix some software errors or remove settings that might prevent you from properly screen mirroring.

2. Navigate to ‘System‘ > ‘Advanced system settings‘ > ‘Factory reset.’
3. Choose to reset everything from the two options and follow the instructions.
