An interesting logic is to do this and I don't know what to see what will happen... Transfer data between mobile devices using Wi-Fi Direct technology and the Samsung Smart Switch app or another app if you have different brands and different devices. I have a camera from the list of mirrorless cameras for entry-level world and there the instructions say how and what to do. But it seems to me that you just need to install special extensions on your smart TV or PC to be able to do what you have in mind.
