Match the network
Put sender and receiver on the same Wi‑Fi (not a guest network that isolates clients). Disable VPNs that block LAN discovery.
Toggle Allow Nearby Connections
Turn Nearby off and on on both devices, then reopen the Nearby hub. Only one Nearby connection can be active at a time — end an existing cast or share first.
Update and relaunch
Update Watchly on both devices from the App Store, force-quit, and reopen. For account features on TV, re-check the 6-character link at /tv.
