Google Cast: A Streaming Media Screen Mirroring Solution
Google Cast specializes in targeted streaming media pushing. With an Android device, Chromebook, or a browser with the Cast plugin, you can push content like audio, video, and web pages to a compatible large-screen device without mirroring the entire screen. It’s perfect for both office and home use.
Seamless Integration with the Google Ecosystem, Clever Connections
Most Chromebooks and Android phones and tablets have native support. Just open an app with the Cast icon (like YouTube or Spotify), tap the “Cast” icon, and you’ll find the receiver and connect instantly without pairing. On a computer, you can install a Chrome plugin and directly push web pages and online documents from your browser without a complicated setup.
Uninterrupted Targeted Streaming for a Great Experience
It only pushes selected content, not the entire screen. After you push a show from your phone to the TV, you can exit the app, check messages, or answer a call, and the TV playback won’t be affected. When you push an online proposal from your computer to a meeting screen, you can switch pages in the background without exposing private information. It supports 1080P high-definition transmission, and some devices can even handle 4K. The audio and picture are synchronized with no lag, so playing presentation videos and online courses is a smooth experience.
Highly Flexible for Multiple Scenarios
- Office Scenarios: In a remote meeting, you can push a shared screen from your Chromebook to the meeting display so everyone can see it clearly. When you need to show a web page, you can push it directly from the Chrome browser without having to change the format.
- Home Scenarios: You can push videos from Bilibili or music from NetEase Cloud Music on your phone to the living room TV for a more immersive experience. Family members can choose content from different devices and take turns pushing it to the TV without having to fight over the remote.
- Educational Scenarios: A teacher can push an online educational video from an Android tablet to the large classroom screen while taking notes on the tablet without interrupting the lesson. Students can push their online homework to the main screen for the whole class to critique.
The receiver can remember frequently used devices and will automatically show a pop-up to remind you to cast next time you open the app. An administrator can view the device connection status from a backend and set a time frame for when casting is allowed. There’s no need for a dedicated person to be on-site for maintenance. For streaming media mirroring, this is a very convenient option.
