Screen mirroring to AndroidTV, no home internet, no mobile hotspot?

by Chris_Hot

Does screen mirroring, from a stock Android 9 phone (Moto X4 Android One edition), to AndroidTV, work, when you have no home internet service, and no mobile hotspot service? In other words:

  1. the ATV is disconnected from the internet,
  2. the mobile phone is connected to the internet by LTE, and
  3. Can the mobile phone beam its screen mirror directly to the ATV, over WiFi-Direct - no wifi router, just directly from the phone, straight over wifi-direct to the ATV?

You could get a cheap router and create a local network

Pretty much all this stuff requires internet at least for initial setup.

It depends.

If your TV has Miracast (like my Mi TV 4X), you can do that without internet.

Otherwise you'll need to use the built-in Chromecast and Portable hotspot from your phone to mirror screen. This requires internet but don't worry it doesn't actually consume your LTE bandwidth, the internet is just a requirement.

Don't think so.
