Samsung Link
Samsung Link makes staying connected easy. You can wirelessly synchronize your Samsung
phone with your TV, stream content, and even keep tabs on who calls or sends text messages
with real-time, on-screen monitoring.
Samsung Link allows users to share their in-device media content with other external devices
using DLNA certified (Digital Living Network Alliance) Devices. These external devices must
also be DLNA-compliant. Wi-Fi capability can be provided to TVs via a digital multimedia
streamer.
Samsung Link uses your Samsung Account. For more information, see Samsung Account.
Both your phone, and the devices that connect to your phone, must be on the same Wi-Fi
access point (AP). For more information about using Wi-Fi, see Wi-Fi.
