Windows 10: Cast mobile phone to Windows PC?

Just got YouTube TV on my phone and I want to cast it toy PC. Is it possible to get the application form Microsoft store instead

I have not found the exact same app so far searching Microsoft store. Can you download the playstore app and get it off there

I'm sorry but I am old and tired and I don't know if I even want to go on for the next 2days trying to figure it out and that's if I am lucky.... Sorry community, I am not completely ignorant about this shtuff but I'm sure I am completely sick of these computer days...

No offense but I like to read books and play outside....

Issues while casting Mobile Device to PC

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to not being able to cast your android phone on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Have you connected both the PC and mobile through same network?
   
2. Were you able to cast your phone to the PC previously?
   
3. Do you receive any error code/message when trying to cast the device?
   

If both the devices are not connected to same network, please connect them to the same WIFI network and the follow the steps mentioned below to adjust the settings to cast a device to your PC.

1. Press Windows + I key to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on System and then click
   Projecting to this PC.
   
3. Under Some Windows and Android devices can project to this PC when you say it’s OK select the drop down to
   Available everywhere.
   
4. Now under Ask to project to this PC select
   First time only.
   
5. Under Require PIN for pairing select
   Never.
   
6. Now under This PC can be discovered for projection only when it’s plugged into a power source toggle the switch to On/Off.
   

Once you set these settings follow the steps below.

1. Press Windows + S key together and type

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
