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.
