Screen mirroring issues can stem from compatibility, Wi-Fi connectivity, or software glitches. Ensure both devices support screen mirroring and are on the same Wi-Fi network. Restarting your devices can resolve temporary glitches. If using Android, check if 'Wireless display' is enabled in the Display settings. For iOS, ensure AirPlay is not restricted under Screen Time settings. If problems persist, updating the device's software or using a third-party app may be necessary solutions.
