Cast Zoom Meeting to TV using HDMI Cable
Don’t you have Firestick, Roku or any other streaming devices? No worries. Still, you can mirror your Zoom Meeting screen from PC to your TV using the old school method, HDMI cable. Just connect an HDMI cable from your computer to TV and change your TV source to the right HDMI port using your TV remote. That’s it. Now, whatever displayed on your computer will be mirrored on your TV as well.
Cast Zoom Meeting to TV from iOS/Android
Since Zoom app is available for both iOS and Android platforms, you can mirror your Zoom screen from your phone to TV. Unlike Windows, there is no straightforward option to replicate Zoom to your TV from iOS/Android devices. However, you can make use of third party casting apps to cast Zoom from your phone to TV. We have already published a couple of articles related to the topic:
Cast Zoom Meeting to TV from Mac
Unfortunately, Apple’s Mac doesn’t provide an option to directly mirror your computer screen to TV. So, you need to rely on apps like AirPlay mirroring to cast a Zoom meeting to TV. There are some Smart TVs like Samsung or Sony that supports direct AirPlay from Mac to TV. Check out this article to Cast Mac to Firestick for the detailed procedure.
Well, Zoom is a great app for video conferencing, web conferencing, online seminars/classes. Plus, it offers a free basic plan with an unlimited number of meetings. If you are someone who is already having Firestick, then you can easily share and watch the contents of your Zoom meeting on a bigger screen.
I had to laugh. You wrote “Apple’s Mac doesn’t provide an option to directly mirror your computer screen to TV. So, you need to rely on apps like AirPlay mirroring” but AirPlay IS the built-in Apple/Mac mirroring app. And AirPlay is available on iOS, too, so your statement that there’s no way to mirror from an iPhone to a TV is simply wrong. Or are you saying the Fire TV brand has purposefully made it impossible for people using their competitors’ phones/laptops to mirror to their TVs?
