Cast

Overview

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 The Kaltura Player Studio Admin Guide - Top & Bottom Bar Settings.

                    <script type="text/javascript">
                    try {
                      var kalturaPlayer = KalturaPlayer.setup({
                        targetId: "kaltura_player",
                        provider: {
                          partnerId: {YOUR_PARTNER_ID},
                          uiConfId: {YOUR_PLAYER_ID}
                        },
                        cast: {
                            receiverApplicationId: "X123Y45Z" // the receiver application id
                        }
                      });
                      kalturaPlayer.loadMedia({entryId: '1_xxxxxx'}); // the entry id
                    } catch (e) {
                      console.error(e.message)
                    }
