Any techies know what just happened? Too weird for me...

We were just at a restaurant, each of my family members were watching YouTube videos on our own devices, but we were using the Wi-Fi of the restaurant. I look up and the hippie-dippie meditation video I'm watching is on the wide screen television on the wall!!! The guy kept telling me to turn my bluetooth off but it was never on. Do any of you know how this happened? We have been there a bunch of times and it has never happened before. Its our favorite place to hang out and get online but the guy actually got really mad and started yelling. :-/

Meanwhile there's this lady in the background on the television saying to hold your crystal to your forhead and absorb the white light into your crown chakra... ☆☆☆☆

Maybe the stars were sending the video to him--he obviously needed it.

You might have hit Share and then View content on TV (smart view)

It has nothing to do with Bluetooth and everything to do with WiFi.
I use it to share things with my family on the Tv so we all can see. It uses the ROKU and must be on the same WiFi to work.

Something similar must have happened to you.

Is that something I could have done on accident?

Possibly. My link is on the bottom right, but it takes a couple clicks.
Or it could have just picked it up somehow?
I'd stay off the wifi, who knows what can hack your phone! ;)

You just broadcast your phone's display via the bluetooth wireless that can connect to Smart TV's. Maybe they should hide their device from bluetooth programs, so they can't detect it and subsequently connect to it. My phone will "find" my TV if I want it to and probably vice-versa. Maybe your chakras are acting up behind your back.

That's interesting thank you

And that's not really behind my back. They act up though.
