VideoCast for ChromeCast streams all your videos to your TV and control playback from your phone! Supports almost every format: MOV, MKV, MP4, FLV, X264 This app automatically converts the video whilst streaming to your TV, allowing almost any video to be streamed to your TV - Videos play instantly!. Play almost any video file on your ChromeCast TV!. Watch Videos Instantly. No configuration required. Select bitrate. Optimize for low bandwidth / wifi You can play videos from your Mac on your ChromeCast using VideoCast and can control playback using your phone web browser.
Click or tap the menu button and select “Cast media to device”. You’ll see a list of nearby MIracast and DLNA devices you can use. Select a device and start casting. This won’t work with protected media content like Netflix and Hulu. However, it will work with YouTube and many other video websites.
This app cannot stream videos from your phone. To control playback from your phone please ensure your Mac, phone and ChromeCast are all on the same Wifi network to allow them to communicate. VideoCast must be allowed to receive network connections - If you have enable the Mac Firewall please allow VideoCast to receive connections when prompted. You can also enable this through System Preferences Security & Privacy Firewall. If your ChromeCast can't connect to your Mac then you will be unable to stream videos form it. How To: Simply open the app, select a video file and click Go! The Chrome web browser is opened.
Click the ChromeCast icon and the video will automatically play. Please do not close the app or turn off your Mac, the app works in the background to convert your video to a format your ChromeCast supports. You can start to watch instantly. HELP: If your video always buffers try lowering the bitrate. To do this just drag the slider down. We recommend starting at 0.3 and then increasing if the video is stable.
Some MP4 and MKV videos can be played without transcoding, meaning no loss of quality and less power is used. Just un-tick the Fore Transcode box. If Google Chrome isn't your default browser please copy the web page address (URL) into Google Chrome. Requires ChromeCast and Google Chrome. TIPS. Do not close the app when the video starts playing - its working hard converting the video in the background. Make sure you have a free disk space (the same amount as the file you are playing).
On Mavericks this app will stop the computer sleeping whilst the video is transferring so it can stream the file, but will allow the stream to be dimmed. Do not close the laptop screen. If Chrome just sends a copy of the web page to the ChromeCast please exit and restart Chrome.
If the ChromeCast loses connection simply press play in the app, it will resume from the same position. FAQ Q: Why does the video buffer / pause / stop? A: Streaming video between 2 devices is probably the most intensive thing your wireless network will do. Make sure both devices have a strong wifi connection, and try lowering the bitrate to the lowest level, if this works increase it and start playing again. Q: Does this app just open a web browser? A: No, this app converts the video into a format that the ChromeCast can play and serves it from a built in web server.
It then opens Google Chrome at a special web app and streams the video. Behind its minimal interface a lot of powerful things are happening, so keep the app open when your playing files!

Hello Kisha I have a Samsung s3 and a galaxy tab 2. I purchased two Google Chromecast devices. I was told I'd be able not only to cast screen imaging from my Samsung devices, but also I'd be able to stream programming from the internet, and thus, the Google Chromecast would serve me better than the Roku system. Now, I'm hearing that I can neither cast my imaging, nor stream from the internet. Please tell me it isn't so that what's been a very reputable company hasn't sank to the level misleading sales practices.
Respectfully, Ed Covington, Florida Mr incredible 1 5/12/2014, 18:24 น. Dear google support, My brother just gave me a chromecast as a gift. I got a samsung galaxy tab 3 tablet. I can cast youtube but I can not cast my android screen or my browser. And that was the whoke reason why I wanted to have this gadget. Can you tell me if I can expect an update that allowed my samsung tablet 3 to cast my screen to my tv in the near future OR do I have to go back to the store or sell it to someone else since I have no use for it. Best regards, Paul Nokomis Allen 6/12/2014, 13:47 น.
It doesnt say ANYWHERE on the packaging, or on your help or instruction pages that its only for certain devices, this is FALSE ADVERTISING!!! Shame on you google!!!!
I have supported you over the years because i expect shady stuff like this from other developers but not you, you fail to mention that anything is included on the packaging, and you take everyones money, and then when they discover it doesnt work for their device, you then say there are restrictions. What a shame. Alanpeter 7/12/2014, 6:43 น. Thought I would update you with my experience with the Chromecast. As I stated before I have managed to to screen cast by using Real Player Cloud.
I am using a Galaxy Note 10.1. It works fine. I shouldnt have to but Google dont seem interested in sorting the problem out, unless anyone knows otherwise. Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking to a Google representative face to face in PC World/Currys (I am in the U.K.) and explained the issues thousands of us are having. Its not for screen casting its for using with apps only. I pointed out that thousands of us bought the product for its ability to screen cast and showed him the list of supported devices on their website.
His response. If its not working its because your device is not supported. I showed him my device on the list. He repeated that my device was not supported and anyway screen cast will only work through apps! When I asked why for the majority of users the screen cast option was not even available on the menu he said. Its works fine and the problem is yours. He then walked off.
Thanks Google for a product that does not do what it is supposed to and thanks Google for treating your customers with respect and consideration. Michael Portnoy 7/12/2014, 7:23 น.

No ability to cast. Meanwhile Chromecast was displaying the revolving pictures on TV and the TV was capable of switching sources just fine. Chromecast ap on both devices invited me to setup but setup offered no chromecasts to connect. I rebooted both devices, no improvement.
I powered off the chromecast and after 20 seconds re-powered. 10 minutes later the Chromebook and MotoX displayed the Chromecast No problem at present. MrSeanRiley12, 10:54 น. Hi, There are so many topics about Chromecast connecting to Internet and to the Chromecast app but only Youtube is able to cast. Even I had this problem lately and I also made a topic about this issue. It worked perfectly on my ios devices but with with the Motorola E, only YouTube was able to cast. On all the topics regarding this we are told to reset/restart Chromecast and the router and also change the router settings.
This for many hasn't made a difference. Yesterday I figured out what the problem is. It's simple and easy.
All you have to do is enable automatic date and time in your device settings. This should be done for DATE AND TIME. Hopefully this should enable all apps to cast to Chromecast. Please let me know if this works for you. Deitras Melancon, 7:54 น. What in the blue cheese is going on?
Just kidding. I have 2 devices that once had the Cast Screen option and it is now gone. One is the Kyocera Hydro Vibe (quadcore). The other one is the Insignia tablet (quadcore). With the Chrome browser now supporting Casting with pretty much any video, it's really not as big of a deal, but I would still like it for other things like Spotify and some local videos that don't work with the Local Cast app.
Thank you for your time, Cain snilloca123, 18:34 น. I understand that chromecast mirroring is in beta and really any game is not supported. However it semi like people are recommending to change the display resolution. My question is how do I do that?
I am running the game I want to play on my samsung galaxy s5. The screen shots of people changing the chromecast to the lower resolution are of them selecting settings in the main screen of chromecast (same area as where you can select screen mirror) my chromecast doesn't have a setting option that I can select. I feel like if I was able to select the lower display resolution that my problem with game lag would be eliminated.
If I could get this resolved I would love this product! As it is now im only moderately happy with it. My tv has only 720p its only for my bedroom. Brian monicaSgarza 18/1/2015, 18:25 น.
I'm confuse about the difference between chromecast and miracast? When i browsed through the internet i found that miracast mirrors the mobile device's screen by connecting to the miracast dongle via wifi- direct without the need of a wifi router so we can play games, movies/music videos that has been saved in the devices via a miracast dongle on the tv and it doesn't stream contents from the internet. And about the chromecast, does it directly connect to the mobile device like the miracast? If not, do we need a wifi router to connect? I know the chromecast can stream media contents from the internet but can it mirror the device's screen on a tv so that we can play games, watch saved movies/music videos like miracast?

Apple phones are not on the list of supported phones/tablets. In fact, even many Android phones/tablets are not supported. There is a statement at the end of the list that states that work is being done to support more models. I assume since Apple marches to its own drummer, it might take a little while - since this feature isn't even available yet on all Androids.
My guess is that G wants to iron out bugs and perfect utility on what they have now (that's wat beta is for) before expanding it across a broader base. CJ Stoner 8/2/2015, 13:51 น.

I have spent days and countless hours trying to get this to work. I feel so strongly about this i am still in contact with Chromecast help line and I am going to advise them of this simple piece of advice for when frustrated non techie people like myself who have tried everything phone up, the first thing they can ask the people to try is this.
Thanks again now i am going to start casting, it has only taken me 11 days to get to this stage. Mike78501 27/2/2015, 13:48 น. I'm very upset with Google and this product. What they don't tell you is that you have to have a WiFi network with internet.
I live in a rural area and we don't have high speed internet. I got this device so I could mirror my screen. I have a perfect 4g connection on my phone and would love to be able to stream from my phone. Why does my Chromecast have to be connected to a router with internet access just so I can mirror my phone screen. That is stupid.
Doesn't google realize there is a large amount of people in this country who can't have high speed internet. At the very least they need to make that more publicly known. I'm am extremely dissatisfied with this waste of my money!
Renee stanley 1/3/2015, 11:22 น. We bought a RCA pro10 (model # RCT6203W46) tablet that is running Android version 4.4.2. We bought it along with the Chromecast to cast the tablet to our TV. Straight out of the box it worked great. From pull down screen had option to cast the tablet screen to the TV. Once the system did its own update a week later the Chromecast no longer works from the pull down screen, but only in certain apps.
I know the RCA tablet is not listed under your guys' supported devices, but why did it work fine before the update and now does not work like before? Schaweja 4/3/2015, 12:48 น.
Yes I've seen list, matter of fact read more than once. My questions were towards the bottom of list and says 'device not listed?
You may still be able to cast your android screen but your experience may vary - support for additional devices coming soon. 'This was a post from back in November.So I would have figured by now fixed or close to some option. Are you a tech or part of group? Again my understanding the techs check this as very 1st post from a tech. (ไม่รู้จัก) 9/3/2015, 17:39 น. Kisha L 10/3/2015, 11:54 น.
