Problems faced when connecting YouTube to TV from a phone

One common problem when connecting YouTube from a phone to a TV is compatibility between devices. Different types of television have varying connectivity features, and not all TVs support casting or screen mirroring. For instance, older TVs may require additional hardware like Chromecast or an HDMI adapter, while newer smart TVs usually have built-in casting options. Another issue can arise from poor wi-fi connectivity, leading to buffering or disconnects during playback. Sometimes, even after both devices are connected to the same wi-fi, the phone may not detect the TV due to outdated software or network glitches. Ensuring that both the TV and phone are updated and on the same network can resolve most of these issues.
