If you don’t have the feature to install and use the Max app on your LG TV, then you can use it on your phone and cast it on your TV.
You can do that from Android and iOS devices, but ensure you have already logged in to your account before you do that.
From Android Device:
This feature is available on all Android devices, but you should know that the names be different. You may see Screen Share, Screen Cast, Miracast, Wireless Display, WiFi-Direct, Wireless Projection, etc.
If you don’t know how to cast your Android Phone screen to project content to your LG TV, follow the steps below:

- Then, click on the screen to reveal the controls.
