Twitch is the number one live streaming platform for gamers, DJs, internet personalities, ASMR enthusiasts, and so much more. It’s no wonder the platform attracts millions of fans from around the world every single day. There are so many talented creators streaming on Twitch. Wouldn’t it be amazing to watch your favorite gamers and DJs on the TV in your living room, in surround sound?
Here’s how to cast Twitch to TV—no matter which casting device you use:
One of the easiest ways to cast Twitch to TV is through the Twitch App. Casting to certain Wi-fi devices is a new capability that Twitch just made available to their mobile app users. By opening the Twitch app on your phone or iPad, you have the option to connect to a Chromecast or other Wi-Fi-enabled casting device.
However, the Twitch app does not support casting to other DLNA devices like Amazon Firestick or a smart TV. You also can’t open the mobile Twitch app with casting capabilities from your desktop or laptop computer.
Some phones or tablets come with their own screen mirroring feature. Allowing you to cast whatever is on your phone screen to your TV. But chances are if you took the time to look up this post, your device was not gifted with this built-in feature. Or maybe, you’d rather cast your favorite Twitch content directly from your laptop.
Thankfully, there are third-party apps like AirBeamTV that allow any phone or iPad to cast a high-quality stream to your Chromecast, Firestick, SmartTV, Roku etc.
Mirroring your screen to cast TikTok, Instagram Live, Youtube videos, and of course, Twitch to your TV has never been easier.

Why Won’t Twitch Cast to My TV?

If you accidentally hit «Deny» on your Samsung TV while connecting your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, this is pretty easy to fix:
E, F, and H Models (from 2012 to 2014)
- On your Samsung TV, go to Network > Allshare Settings > Content Sharing
- Find the device you tried to connect (it should say «Denied» next to it)
- Select the «Denied» device and change it to «Allow»
- Start the mirroring again from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
J and K Models (from 2015 to 2016)
Same instructions as above, but the menu titles are Network > Multimedia Device Manager. From there you should be able to see your «Denied» devices.
M, N, and R Models, and QLED (from 2017)
- On your Samsung TV, go to General > External Device Manager > Device Connection Manager > Device List
- From Device List, select «Edit» and select «All»
- Make sure the list of devices is cleared before starting the mirroring again from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
Here are some other common hiccups we’ve noticed can happen based on which phone, computer, or TV you use:
- If you’re using an iPhone or iPad with iOS 14, go to Settings, select the Wi-fi your device is connected to, and make sure «Private Address» is turned off
- If you’re using a Mac, make sure McAfee (or another third party Intel Security software) is disabled to allow your TV casting device to communicate with your Mac
- If you use a Samsung TV, make sure «Access Notification» is turned off; go to Settings > General > External Device Manager > Device Connection Manager > Access Notification
- If you have a Sony TV with Android OS, do a full power cycle reboot of the TV by shutting it down, unplugging it from the wall, waiting 5 minutes, and turning it on again
- If your LG TV is not detected, go to the Network menu on your TV and make sure «LG Connect Apps» (or «DLNA DMR» on older models) is always turned on
