It's highly unlikely your neighbor can directly screen mirror your TV. Screen mirroring requires a direct connection between the device you're mirroring and the TV, usually via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or a cable.
Here's why:
- Screen mirroring requires a connection: Your neighbor would need to be physically connected to your TV or network to initiate a screen mirroring session.
- Privacy settings: Most TVs and streaming devices have privacy settings that prevent unauthorized connections.
- Security measures: Modern networks typically have security measures like passwords and firewalls to protect against unauthorized access.
However, there are a few scenarios where your neighbor might be able to see what's on your TV indirectly:
- Public Wi-Fi: If you're connected to an unsecured public Wi-Fi network, someone else on the same network could potentially see your internet traffic, including streaming content.
- Open network: If your home network is not password protected, your neighbor could potentially access your devices and see what's on your TV.
- Smart TV vulnerabilities: Some smart TVs may have security vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access, but this is rare.
To protect your privacy, ensure your home network is password protected and use strong passwords for all your devices.
