Chromecast Playback Now in Beta on Webgate.io
Hello Webgate.io Community,
We’re excited to introduce a new beta feature that makes video playback even more convenient: Webgate.io now supports besides Apple AirPlay also Google Chromecast! This allows you to stream your videos directly from your browser to your TV – no cables, no hassle.
How it works
- Click the Chromecast icon in the Webgate player to select a compatible TV device from your network.
- The video is streamed directly via Chromecast – this works smoothly, for example, in the Chrome browser.
- Many modern TVs already have Chromecast built in, especially those running Android TV.
Smarter playback
- You can control playback directly with your TV remote – play, pause, and skip all work as expected.
- When a clip ends, the next one plays automatically.
- If you select a different clip in Webgate, the TV updates and plays the new video.
Perfect for screenings
Whether you're at a client’s office, in the edit suite, or simply on your couch – Chromecast lets you bring Webgate videos to the big screen with ease. It’s a smoother, more professional viewing experience.
This feature is currently in beta – we’d love to hear your feedback!
Enjoy testing it out!
Your Webgate.io Team
