Check Remote Video Playback

Support Remote Playback API:
State:
The device you are streaming from (smartphone, laptop) and the receiving device (Chromecast, Apple TV, or Smart TV) must be connected to the same wireless network. If the devices are on different subnets or connected to different routers, they will not see each other.

What is the Remote Playback API?

The Remote Playback API allows a website to detect if there is a nearby TV with Chromecast or AirPlay support, and give you a button to send the video directly to the big screen, all while continuing to control playback from your laptop or phone.

What devices can you stream video to?

  • Google Cast: Allows you to cast from the Chrome browser to TVs with Chromecast, Android TV, and some Smart TV models. It is supported by a huge number of applications.
  • Apple AirPlay: Stream from Apple devices (iPhone, Mac) to Apple TV or smart TVs with AirPlay 2 support.
