Screen sharing to Google TV and Android TV

Your iPhone, iPad or Mac, on your TV.

MavaScreen shares the screen and sound of your iPhone, iPad or Mac to a Google TV or Android TV over your home Wi-Fi.

How it works

  1. Open MavaScreen TV on your TV. It shows a QR code and a PIN.
  2. On your iPhone or iPad, open MavaScreen and tap “Scan QR Code”, then point the camera at the TV. Or tap “Enter PIN” and type the PIN. On a Mac, choose your TV in MavaScreen and type the PIN.
  3. Tap “Start Sharing” and confirm in the system sheet. Your screen and sound appear on the TV.
  4. Stop whenever you like: in the app, with the system’s screen-sharing indicator, or with the Back button of the TV remote.

What the QR code does

The QR code on your TV is a link to mavascreen.com/p. If MavaScreen is on your iPhone or iPad, the camera opens the app directly and pairing begins. If it is not, the link opens a page that takes you to the App Store.

You pair only once. After that, the TV remembers your device.

Plans

Start with FREE, and choose PLUS or ULTRA in the app when you want more.

PLUS and ULTRA are subscriptions, monthly or yearly. The yearly plans start with a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers.

The App Store shows the prices in your country before you buy.

Every plan includes sound. Your TV and your network can lower the quality a share uses.

Questions and answers

What network do I need?

Your iPhone, iPad or Mac and your TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network, such as your home Wi-Fi. Guest networks that keep devices apart, and VPNs, can stop them from finding each other.

Which TVs work?

Google TV and Android TV: TVs and streaming devices that can install MavaScreen TV from Google Play.

Which iPhone, iPad and Mac work?

An iPhone with iOS 17 or later, an iPad with iPadOS 17 or later, or a Mac with macOS 14 or later.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no sign-in. Subscriptions go through your Apple Account.

Why is a video black on the TV?

Copy-protected video, such as films from many streaming apps, is not captured by the system, so it shows black on the TV. This is the same on every plan.

Is sound included?

Yes, on every plan. Adding your voice with the microphone is optional. The microphone also hears your TV, so a loud TV can cause an echo: keep the TV quiet or use headphones.

Can I pair more than one device with a TV?

The TV remembers one paired device. When another device wants to pair, the TV asks you before it replaces the first one.

What happens to my privacy?

Your screen and sound never leave your home network: they go straight from your device to your TV, encrypted, and nothing is recorded. MavaScreen has no account, no ads and no analytics.
