How to use Portrait Mode on The Sero

Make sure The Sero is turned on, and then navigate to and open the SmartThings app on your compatible phone. Tap Add now when you receive a notification for The Sero. Or, manually add The Sero by tapping Add (the plus sign), and then tapping Device. You can search for your TV or tap Scan nearby.

Once you’re connected, you can control the direction of The Sero. Just turn your compatible phone horizontally or vertically to rotate the TV's screen. If you’d like to ask Bixby to rotate the screen for you, just press the voice recognition button on The Sero’s remote control. Then, say “Vertical mode” or “Horizontal mode.” Or, you can press the rotation button on the remote to control the screen.

To mirror your phone’s screen using Tap View, tap the corner of your phone on the The Sero. Make sure to tap gently so you don’t accidentally damage the devices, and avoid tapping your device on the corner of the TV or directly on the TV’s screen. You can also use Smart View to mirror your phone. Using two fingers, swipe down from the top of your phone’s screen to open Quick settings, and then tap the Smart View icon. Select the Sero from the list of devices, and then allow any permissions if needed.

Now you can stream videos, open apps, and check out your Gallery while viewing everything on The Sero. With The Sero’s Picture in Graphics feature, the images will automatically adjust so there’s no interruption when you’re in the middle of a movie or livestream and need to rotate your phone.
