Screencasting in Android lolipop

Screencasting transmits your device’s screen to your TV via your Chromecast.

It’s a bit annoying that you need a Chromecast for it to work when other

manufacturers offer direct-to-TV transmission, but if you do have the dongle, it’s

quite useful. To beam your homescreen over to your TV, simply swipe down the

notifications bar and select “Cast screen”.
