Like any smart TV user, I have faced a storage shortage on my Mi TV as well. Nevertheless, I opted to take advantage of the Screen Mirroring feature. Since Mi TV runs on the Android operating system and has built-in Chromecast support, I watched my favorite movies or TV shows without installing the app. This way, I have eliminated the storage space issue while still enjoying my favorite content on my Mi TV.
Android users can directly screen mirror the content to Mi TV from their smartphones. On the contrary, iOS and macOS users must install third-party applications to screen mirror the content to the TV. Windows PC users can rely on the Miracast feature to mirror the content to the Mi TV.
To give a clear picture of the entire process, I have developed a simplified guide that helps you to enable and use Mi TV Screen Mirroring.
