   For my Rokus I go to Screen Mirroring and select "Mirror or Extend to... " and   
   select the Roku device I want. If needed I enter the code shown on the TV. I   
   can get there in settings but faster to use the Control Center.   
      
   It works well but not perfectly. There can be lag / freezes. I also have an   
   HDMI cable on a Mac and use that and it works better.
