I'm following these instructions for using Smart View to broadcast from my z-fold 6 to my S9 Ultra tablet that are from Copilot: 

1. **Enable Smart View on your Galaxy Z Fold 6**:
 - Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick panel.
 - Tap on the **Smart View** icon.
 - Select your Samsung S9 Ultra tablet from the list of available devices.
 - Confirm the connection by selecting **Start now** on the pop-up message.

2. **Play YouTube Videos**:
 - Open the YouTube app on your Galaxy Z Fold 6.
 - Select the video you want to play.
 - The video should now be mirrored on your Samsung S9 Ultra tablet.

Except it isn't. I've selected "other device to tablet" and also have gone into settings and labs to allow all apps to be cast and tried enabling Chromecast support. I'll get the express connecting message alternating on both the phone and tablet.
Can anyone help tell me what's wrong?

Can you restart the tablet and try connecting again?

@Rayzer I don't think that this is possible. 

My Tab S9+ does not appear as an option to share to from my Fold 6. Also the Fold 6 does not appear to be an option when sharing from the Tab S9+.

Apparently, it did allow a second screen from a Fold to an S8 tablet a couple of years ago using Smart Things:

The only thing I can think is that they possibly disabled the functionality in the newer versions of the fold and tablet. This is unfortunate, since it obviously was working previously with the ZFold 3 and Tab S8, as the YouTube video demonstrates. 1723928985680_1723928985673_0.png

@bill-e You must be the chosen one 😀

Can you provide steps and some screenshots? 

I'm not able to see one device from the other. They are on the both Wifi.

Nothing fancy.  Smart View on the ZF6 and either Smart View or  Second screen on the Tab S8U.
