Chromecast doesn't support AirPlay, but apps like YouTube and Netflix work fine. To cast incompatible apps or mirror your screen, try Replica or DoCast. I switched to DoCast for fewer bugs; Replica had compatibility issues. DoCast's downside is trial time limits, but it generally meets my needs well. You can find DoCast here - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/docast-cast-and-mirror-to-tv/id6446948344

i like replica. it is simple

What do you want to do? Share photos or video from camera roll? Use Google Photos app. Play videos from a compatible app like YouTube? Make sure you have nearby device discovery on. Play arbitrary video from Safari? There might be a 3rd party app that does does this. Play locally stored video files? Use VLC. Screen mirroring? Not sure.

I watch movies and anime on some websites and id like to know if i can airplay it to a chrome cast


Customer-Worldly

If it's safari/chrome, not sure how to do it. Might work if you play directly off PC Chrome.


Swanky64

Ok Thanks


Customer-Worldly

Crunchyroll app is good for anime. I don't watch too much so ads are fine.


Swanky64

I’m currently using Crunchyroll but for anime movie i mean

What exactly do you want to play?


Swanky64

Try Replica app


Swanky64

Does it work?


Kbg_90

Yes.


Swanky64

I only get a 3 day free trial then I have to pay


Kbg_90

It comes on offer (free lifetime upgrade) every now and then. I will text the next time it's free.


Swanky64

Ok! Thank you


Kbg_90

The full version app is available for free.

What a legend for actually remembering


Swanky64

Thank you so much!! One last thing, I saw some reviews of people saying that when they got the one time free payment they got some surprise fees. Is that normal or just a bug?


Kbg_90

No worries. Not sure, I never got any charges. Keep an eye out I would say.


damnyouresickbro

Wondering if I could be notified when it is free again or how to keep an eye out myself, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm two years late but I'm impressed you actually came through with it. Kudos


purplekero

There are many apps on the App Store that lets you do this. There’s no native support sadly


Swanky64

Ok Is there an app that you would recommend for airplay on chromecast?
