  • Alternatively, you can cast directly from your smartphone. The specific GoPro model you have isn’t crucial for this method since the casting happens through your computer or phone, not directly from the camera.

USB / SD Card


You have a couple of options for watching your GoPro footage on your TV. One method involves using a computer, while the other is more direct and skips the computer step.

  • For the first method, transfer your GoPro videos to a USB flash drive using a computer. Once transferred, plug the flash drive into the USB port on your TV.
  • Alternatively, you can take the microSD card out of your GoPro, place it into a USB adapter, and then plug the adapter directly into your TV’s USB port.

If you’re planning to watch your videos in 4K resolution, be sure to use a USB 3.0 flash drive, as the older USB 2.0 version doesn’t support 4K video playback.
