About
The Cast plugin lets you stream your video content from your phone, tablet, or laptop right to your TV or speakers.
Features
- In the case of Google Chromecast, a user can stream video content using a Sender, and play it on (or cast it to) another device known as a Receiver, while controlling playback using the Sender. The Kaltura player can be either a Sender or a Receiver.
- In the case of Apple AirPlay, a user can stream or share content from an Apple device to another Apple TV, AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV, or Mac. Stream a video. Share your photos. Or mirror exactly what's on your device's screen.
Setup
To learn how to set the Cast plugin on the player, see Integrations settings in the player.
