Why Can’t I Screen Mirror the NFL App?
Contents
Many people have been wondering why they can’t screen mirror the NFL app. We have the answer for you!
Introduction
If you’re trying to screen mirror the NFL app on your device and it’s not working, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Unfortunately, NFL has disabled screen mirroring for their app on all devices, which means you won’t be able to use this feature to watch games or other content on a bigger screen. However, there are a couple of workarounds that you can try in order to still enjoy your favorite NFL content.
What is Screen Mirroring?
Screen mirroring is a technique that allows you to wirelessly send the content of your device’s screen to another devices. It is most commonly used to share pictures, videos, or other media from your smartphone or tablet to a TV. Screen mirroring is also sometimes referred to as screen casting.
How to Use Screen Mirroring
Screen mirroring is a technology that allows you to share your screen with another device. It’s often used to share presentations or video content from a laptop or tablet to a larger screen, like a projector or television.
You can also use screen mirroring to share your screen with another device, like a phone or tablet. This can be helpful if you want to show someone else what’s on your screen, or if you want to use your phone as a second screen for gaming or viewing content from another device.
Screen mirroring is different from Casting, which is another way to share your screen wirelessly. With Casting, the content on your screen is sent directly to the other device; with screen mirroring, the other device shows a copy of what’s on your screen.
To use screen mirroring, you’ll need two devices: the one you want to share your screen from, and the one you want to share it to.
On the device you want to share your screen from—for example, your laptop—look for the “Share” or “Wireless Display” option in the Settings menu. (The location of this option will vary depending on which operating system and devices you’re using.) Select the option and put the other device—the one you want to share your screen with—in “discovery mode.”
Once both devices are connected, whatever is on yourscreen will be mirrored on the other device. You can stop sharing yourscreen at any time by clicking the “Stop Sharing” button in thenotification area of your taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac).
NFL App and Screen Mirroring
Screen mirroring is a feature that allows you to project, or “mirror”, the screen of your compatible Android™ or Windows device wirelessly onto your TV. This feature is helpful when you want to share photos or videos with friends and family, or show a presentation for work.
The NFL app does not currently support screen mirroring. We recommend using another method to share content from your device to your TV, such as Chromecast, AirPlay, or an HDMI cable.
Why Can’t You Screen Mirror the NFL App?
Screen mirroring technology allows you to duplicate the content from your phone or tablet onto a television screen. Many streaming apps, like Netflix and Hulu, have built-in support for screen mirroring. The NFL app does not have this feature, which means you can’t screen mirror it onto a TV.
There are a few possible explanations for why the NFL app doesn’t support screen mirroring. One possibility is that the NFL doesn’t want people to illegally stream their games on a TV. Another possibility is that the NFL app uses DRM (digital rights management) technology to protect its content, and screen mirroring circumvents this protection.
If you want to watch NFL games on your TV, you’ll need to use a separate device like a Roku or Fire TV Stick. You can also connect your laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable and watch the games that way.
Conclusion
After contacting both the NFL and Apple support, it seems that there is no way to screen mirror the NFL app on an Apple TV. This is likely due to the NFL’s contract with DirecTV, which gives DirecTV the exclusive rights to Sunday Ticket.
It’s possible that the NFL app will allow screen mirroring in the future, but for now, the only way to watch NFL games on your Apple TV is through the DirecTV Now app.
