There are 3 ways to stream audio and video contents via wireless projection: WLAN mode, hotspot mode and mobile hotspot mode.
* Please note that, due to the content protection mechanism of subscription-based streaming services, mobile devices cannot mirror or stream the content of certain streaming services, such as Netflix, Fox+, Catchplay, iTunes, etc.

The content you can stream via Airplay and Chromecast:
1. Photos, videos, and music files on your mobile phone.
2. Webpages
3. Content on YouTube
4. Music apps (e.g., Spotify)
5. Office Doc and email apps.

It depends on the Internet bandwidth provided by the Wi-Fi router as well as how many competing wireless devices there are in the environment. If stuttering occurs during projection, please check whether the Wi-Fi is working properly or if it is congested.

GV30 has both 2.4G and 5G channels. We'd recommend switching both your home’s Wi-Fi router and GV30 to the 5G channel for a smoother connection.

1. Use your mobile as the Wi-Fi hotspot: Turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot on your iPhone or Android phone, connect GV30 to it and start the wireless projection.

Please note that your mobile won't be able to connect to an external network via your 4G network and only pictures or videos stored in your mobile can be streamed to GV30.
