Does not work
- LG TVs with NetCast (before webOS)
- TVs that are not connected to the network
- Guest networks that isolate devices
Setup
Connect your LG TV in three steps.
- 1
Join the same Wi-Fi
Your phone and your LG TV need to be on the same home network.
- 2
Pick your TV in Kumi
Open Kumi and choose your LG from the list, or enter its IP address.
- 3
Accept on the TV
Accept the prompt on your TV with the TV’s own buttons or remote. You only do this once.
No prompt on the TV? Turn on LG Connect Apps (called Mobile TV On on newer models) in the TV’s network settings and try again.
