What is casting?
Casting lets you send a video from your phone, tablet, or computer to your television so you can watch it on the big screen. Essentially, you’re streaming the video signal from one device to another.
Casting with Google Chromecast
Chromecast is a small device that plugs into your TV and connects over Wi-Fi. Some newer smart TVs already have Chromecast built in.
