    Xiaomi’s Mi Box is another best streaming device available in the market. It is an Android Box that runs on Android 9. The Mi Box is similar to a Mi TV. You can install various apps to it using the Google Play Store. Apart from streaming videos from installed apps, you can also cast content from your smartphone or PC to watch the videos on the big screen. Mi Box comes with an in-built Chromecast Ultra that allows you to cast 4K videos to your TV. Here are the different ways to cast to Mi Box.

    How to Cast to Mi BOX from Phone or PC?

    How to Cast to Mi Box from your Smartphone or Tablet?

    There are two types of applications:
