The two-screen TV user-interface can display a Screen Select button on the mobile device's touchscreen. The Screen Select button enables viewers to watch video on the screen of their choice — including the smartphone screen or the screen of any connected TV in the viewer’s home. Viewers can even switch screens in the middle of a video. For example, a viewer can transfer a video from the living room TV to the bedroom TV in the middle of a movie.
