Chromecast Video from Smartphones and Tablets to TV
- To cast videos to Chromecast from mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, the Chromecast app is essential. Namely, first of all, you have to find and download the Chromecast app and have it installed on your Anroid or iOS devices.
- Then just launch the Chromecast app on your device and click Cast Screen button.
- Play the videos you would like to see on your devices, then you can get videos play in full screen.
Preparation- One app currently accessible with Chromecast is Allcast for Android, which allows you to stream personal videos, music, and pictures straight to your television. But there’s still a few kinks to work out in it, and it’s only available for Android, leaving iOS 7 devices out in the cold. Thankfully, another app has been added to the Chromecast family called RealPlayer Cloud, which best of all, lets you stream from both Android and iOS 7 devices. Streaming Personal Videos Through Chromecast With RealPlayer Cloud, you can stream any personal videos on your device, or uploaded to RealPlayer’s cloud, and stream them through the Chromecast HDMI dongle on to your television. All you have to do is sign in (or sign up if you don’t have an account) and all of the videos on your device will appear under the My Videos tab. As well as personal videos, you’ll be able to stream web videos that are popular, as well as ones shared on Facebook (if you use the Facebook login option). Casting from iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch To stream videos from Apple devices, make sure you install the RealPlayer Cloud app for iOS. With it open, just tap on My Videos and then select All Videos from the tab at the top. Now tap on the casting icon on the upper right and select your Chromecast device. Once it connects to Chromecast, select your video and you’ll see it stream to your television.Chromecast Video from Web to TV
