3 Ways to Screen Mirror iPhone to Chromebook (with & without app)

Compatibility Between iPhone and Chromebook in Screen Mirroring

Both iPhone and Chromebook devices have built-in casting features - AirPlay or Screen Mirroring on iPhones; while Cast on Chromebooks. Does it mean that you can use them seamlessly, like screen mirroring without apps? Sorry, the answer is No.

The built-in features are not compatible with each other. Because they are used for sending content, not for receiving. That is to say, AirPlay and Cast make the device itself a source, allowing it to mirror content to another display.

As for supported receivers, here is a list.

• Devices that support iPhone casting: Mac; Apple TV; AirPlay-integrated smart TVs

Devices that support Chromebook casting: Android TVs; monitor with an HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, or USB-C port
