My brother has asked if there is a way to get YouTube etc, from his phone with a decent 4g signal onto his TV. No Wi-Fi connection available.
Something I know nothing about.
Any suggestions?

Question Youtube from Samsung phone to old Panasonic TV

It's going to come down to the hardware. This is worth checking out. With no Wi-Fi it's probably going to involve a cable.

Cast Away: How to Connect Your Android Phone to Your TV
On smart TVs and those without Wi-Fi, you can stream your Android phone or tablet screen to the TV through screen mirroring, Google Cast, a third-party app, or linking it with a cable.

OTG cable to OPPO 105D. What? Your brother hasn't got an Oppo? Shame on you for not telling him. Too late now!
Really useful information that, cheers! :-(
PS: Brother is a luddite and would never seen the advantages of a device like the good old Oppo, hence he's suffering.....
he does however have a blueray player. Is there any way that can be used as a n alternative?

Needs a USB input, that's all. The TV may have one. The problem is that his phone is then stuck next to the TV or DVD.

If your brother has another phone, turn on WiFi hotspot on it and connect his phone and Chromecast to that WiFi hotspot. Job done.

You've provided neither the make or model for the TV or phone which makes it difficult to advise.
It's no good people recommending OTG for example if the phone doesn't support it....
believe phone is Samsung Galaxy S9 not sure of TV model. Just wondered if it was even possible that's all

I'd forgotten about this but Google added "guest mode" to Chromecast sometime ago which essentially let's the Chromecast act as its own WiFi hotspot/beacon
Set up and manage guest mode - Streaming Help
Guest mode is no longer supported. Guests can cast content from their Android or iOS devices by connecting to the host’s Wi-Fi network. For more information, go to Cast
