Skillshare classes can play on your TV in a few different ways. If you’re watching on the Skillshare mobile app (iOS/Android), you can cast directly to a TV using Chromecast or AirPlay. If you’re watching on a computer or laptop, you can mirror your screen to the TV using Chrome tab casting, AirPlay from a Mac, Miracast on Windows, or a direct HDMI cable.
