Chromecast is an Android TV application made by Google. With its help, you can stream content from your phone directly to your television screen.
Functionality
The application enables multi-screen interactions between devices in the same local network. It lets you effortlessly “cast” or stream media content from smartphones, tablets, or laptops, directly to larger display screens, such as TVs.
The main aspect behind Chromecast is its ability to not just send, but also control the content from the source device. This means you can play a movie on your TV while using your phone as a remote control. This way, it is possible to pause, rewind, or adjust the volume. Basically, the source device instructs the receiving one to fetch and play the content.
Native integration
Android TV, Google’s smart TV platform, often comes with Chromecast functionality integrated natively. This integration ensures that users of Google-approved Android TV devices can enjoy the benefits of casting without needing an external Chromecast dongle.
As a result, a broad spectrum of media apps and services can be effortlessly beamed from a handheld device to an Android TV with just a tap. These include Netflix and YouTube, among others.
