Streaming: laptop on Samsung Smart TV - how it works

To stream files from the laptop to the Smart TV, you need Samsung AllShare. With this free program you can play pictures, videos and music from your laptop on your Smart TV.

Prepare your computer and smart TV for screen sharing

Before you can stream the screen of your PC to a Samsung Smart TV, you have to do some preparations:

1. Download Samsung AllShare and install the program.
2. Start Samsung AllShare and turn on your Smart TV. It is important that both the Smart TV and your computer are connected to the Internet via the same network via LAN or WLAN.
3. A wizard opens automatically, which you only need to set up the first time. Always click "Next" until you get to step 4. Your TV should now appear here. Select this and click on "Connect" and then on "Finish".
4. Your computer and network are now searched for available music, video, and photo files. This may take a few minutes. Once the process is complete, you can finally start streaming.

This is how streaming to Smart TV works

There is a menu bar on the left. There you will see the three folders "Music", "Pictures" and "Videos" at the top. These are the standard Windows folders. If your music, pictures or videos are on different file paths, you can add the folders to the list using the little plus.

1. Now select one of the displayed folders and navigate to the desired files.
2. Now double click on a file.
3. A preview opens for image files and a small player for video and audio files. To send the transmission to the television, click on the symbol with the arrow and the television in the lower right corner (see picture). Select your Smart TV from the list there.
4. The broadcast will now be sent to your Smart TV. A message will appear on your computer saying that you want to access this. You must confirm this query with the remote control with "Allow".
5. Now you can stream all of your desired content to your Samsung Smart TV.
