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
