3. CONNECT TO YOUR TV WITH HDMI
The most tech-free way to connect your laptop to your TV is via HDMI cable. If you have an HD TV, you almost certainly have multiple HDMI ports available to connect to. A typical connection requires nothing more than a basic HDMI cable. However, some computers may require a simple adapter if it does not have an HDMI port (2019 MacBook Pro adapter, pictured above).
How to Connect to Your Computer to Your TV with HDMI

*If you are only seeing video on your TV but not hearing sound, be sure to adjust the audio output settings in your computer’s System Preferences.
4. CONNECT TO A SMART TV OR STREAMING DEVICE
For a cord-free connection, many modern TVs have WiFi streaming capabilities already built in. This could be in the form of a built-in Chromecast feature or an Apple AirPlay feature. You can also use an actual Chromecast or Apple TV to accomplish this as well
To check if your devices are compatible, first make sure your TV and computer are connected to the same WiFi network. Then, using Chrome Browser, go to VIEW in the top menu, and click CAST to see nearby devices that are Chromecast compatible. Click the TV you want to connect to, and your screen will appear on your TV once it connects.
In the example above, you will see that two different smart TVs are available/compatible, but a third TV is not supported. You can also click the SOURCES button to toggle between casting an individual tab or your entire desktop screen.
If you’re on an Apple computer or laptop, you can follow the same procedure by clicking the AirPlay icon in the top-right corner of your screen (using any browser) to see which devices are compatible. Choose the TV you wish to connect to. You may be prompted to enter an AirPlay Device Code that appears on your TV.
How to Wirelessly Connect to Your Smart TV or Streaming Device
- Navigate to CAST within Chrome browser or AIRPLAY on a Mac
- Select the TV you wish to display on, enter code if applicable
- Choose a GOLFFOREVER video
- Enter full-screen mode
- Begin your workout!
