Screen mirroring on the vivo Y51 Pro lets you display your phone’s screen on a TV or wireless display. It is useful for watching videos, sharing photos, or presenting content on a bigger screen.
When it stops working, it is usually due to connection issues, settings, or compatibility problems. The fixes below will help you get it working again.
Why Screen Mirroring Is Not Working on vivo Y51 Pro
- Wi-Fi is not enabled or both devices are not on the same network
- Screen mirroring or Cast feature is turned off
- TV or display is not compatible or not in pairing mode
- Temporary software glitches affecting wireless connection
- Outdated system software causing connectivity issues
Troubleshooting Procedures
Make Sure Both Devices Are on the Same Wi-Fi Network
Screen mirroring relies on a shared network to detect devices. If they are on different networks, they will not connect.
- Open Settings, then tap Wi-Fi.
- Connect to your preferred network, then connect the TV to the same network.
Once both devices are on the same Wi-Fi, try screen mirroring again.
Turn On Screen Mirroring or Cast Feature
If the feature is off, your phone will not search for nearby displays. Enabling it allows your device to scan and connect.
- Open Settings, then tap Bluetooth & devices.
- Tap Cast, then turn it on.
Wait for your phone to detect available devices.
Put the TV or Display in Pairing Mode
Your TV must be ready to receive connections. If it is not in pairing mode, your phone will not find it.
- Open your TV Settings, then go to Screen mirroring.
- Enable Screen mirroring mode, then wait for your phone to detect it.
After enabling, check your phone again for available devices.
Restart Your Phone and TV
Temporary glitches can interrupt wireless connections. Restarting both devices refreshes the connection.
- Press and hold the Power button, then tap Restart.
- Tap Restart again, then wait for the phone to reboot.
Do the same for your TV, then try reconnecting.
Check Permissions for Cast or Wireless Display
Some system permissions are required for screen mirroring to work properly. Missing permissions can block the feature.
- Open Settings, then tap Apps.
- Tap Permissions, then allow required access for casting features.
After enabling permissions, try screen mirroring again.
Update Software on vivo Y51 Pro
Outdated software can cause compatibility issues with screen mirroring. Updating ensures better connectivity and performance.
- Open Settings, then tap System update.
- Tap Check for updates, then install any available updates.
After updating, reconnect to your TV or display.
Reset Network Settings
If the issue continues, resetting network settings can fix deeper connection problems. This clears saved connections and restores defaults.
- Open Settings, then tap System management.
- Tap Reset, then select Reset network settings.
Reconnect to Wi-Fi and try screen mirroring again.
Screen mirroring issues on the vivo Y51 Pro are usually caused by network mismatches, disabled features, or temporary glitches. Once both devices are properly connected and configured, the feature should work smoothly for streaming and sharing content.
