Some apps where content needs to be protected, such as video players, mobile banking apps or security solutions, have their own security features. So, their screens appear black and/or you can only hear audio. In that case, if you connect your mobile device to an external display device (e.g. a TV or monitor) through a cable to use Samsung DeX, the app screen will appear as normal.

To play a game with a keyboard or mouse on Samsung DeX, the game app needs to support the keyboard and mouse input. Please contact the app developer for assistance.
