I used to swear by native screen mirroring until I started running online yoga classes from my phone. Sound delays, screen freezes… I couldn’t take it anymore. I read this breakdown of DoCast vs. Screen Mirroring and it explained a lot. Turns out those options work differently under the hood. Screen Mirroring is quick to access but drains my battery like crazy and isn’t that stable unless I’m literally standing next to the router. I switched to DoCast for those live sessions and haven’t looked back. It syncs faster, no weird compression artifacts, and it mirrors third-party apps way better. One session I streamed Spotify visuals + timer + camera at the same time and it still held up. I’ve even started using it to cast old family videos stored in the Files app—it picks them up without a fuss. Just one heads-up: I did once forget to enable permissions for local network access and thought the app broke, but that was on me. If I had to describe it, Screen Mirroring feels like a quick fix when you need to show a photo to your friend. DoCast feels like you’re actually presenting or performing something that matters.
