What are the options for customers who are able to mirror but facing a resolution issue on TV?

The resolution of streams is chosen in such a way that it provides the optimum visual resolution for mobile devices but will not be high enough for mirroring on TV. For this reason, this app does not have an inbuilt mirroring feature. We may bring higher resolution streams in future if there is higher demands for mirroring in TV as premium products.
