However, you can easily access it to stream your favorite content on your LG TV via the casting feature. To learn more about the process, read the blog discussed below.
How to Screen Cast Media Content to LG TV Via VLC Player
Since VLC is not available on the LG Content Store, the only way to access it on your TV is by using Cast and AirPlay functions. Without further delay, let’s get right into the steps on how to AirPlay and Cast the app on LG TV.
Initially, connect your LG TV to a WIFI that is stable and your mobile to the same WIFI network. If you’re using an iPhone, you must enable AirPlay on your LG TV to make this work. Once you follow these two, you are ready to Cast/AirPlay the VLC app on your TV screen.
- Install or open the VLC Media Player on your smartphone (Android/iPhone).
- Play any media content you want to cast from your phone to your LG TV.
- When the playback screen displays, click on the Cast icon in it.
- If you’re using an iPhone, select the AirPlay and Bluetooth Devices option after selecting the Cast icon.
- Your mobile will now display a set of active devices. From there, select your LG Smart TV.
- Once the connectivity is made, you can start watching your media content on your TV from the VLC mobile app.
LG TV Tip! Similar to mobile devices, you can also cast the VLC app from your Windows and Mac PC to the LG Smart TV in no time.
