PC on TV doesn't work - ''Currently waiting for the connection'' is displayed

[Maxiiivision]

I have a QA65Q80AAWXXY.

There is an app built into the tv called ‘PC on TV’.

To set up, I have downloaded ‘Easy Connection To Screen’ app on my PC.

When I start the app: ‘PC on TV - EasyConnection’ on my PC, it says “Currently waiting for the connection’’, but nothing happens…

I have logged in to the tv and pc with the same samsung account

They are both connected to the same wifi network.

But My pc is not displayed on the PC on TV Home screen.

SOLVED! DO NOT USE THE APP THROUGH THE TV - IT DOES NOT WORK!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On your PC, go to Settings > Bluetooth and other devices > Add Bluetooth or Other Device > Wireless Display or Dock > And select your TV from the list. You should get a confirmation on your tv to connect. Click Ok. Now your PC will be displayed on your TV.

I'm glad you found a solution. I remember when I was a kid in the middle 80s, tv with apps is a big deal.

Welcome to the 21-century with more and more advanced tech and innovation 💡 💡 💡.

Thanks Laura,
I just wish Samsung developers would take this built-in app down, and the misguided help steps, so as to avoid other newcomers from getting a bum-steer like I did.

My PC uses a hardline connection to my internet router, so when I search in my settings, I do not see the TV, any suggestions that could help? Thank you

This solution does not solve the app problem, any recommendations on that??

Hey @aestrada

Have you made sure that the app is up to date in updates?

Does the TV need to be in a specific setting for it to be "discoverable" by the computer?

Had the exact same problem. App worked fine a couple 3 days & then, nada. Tried everything but no luck.

SOLVED by uninstalling & re-installing the PC on Screen Easy Connection.

Fingers crossed this tyme, the app holds.
