Why Use Web Video Caster?

If there are times you wish you could watch the same content available on your Android Phone on your large screen TV, now you can with Web Video Caster.

This is an Android app that works as a browser. It can grab a compatible video URL inside any web page and then cast it to your TV using your Roku or any other supported media streamer (Chromecast, Fire TV, Nvidia Shield).

Any video that supports sub-titles this app will also play these as well.

Casting Vs Mirroring

Web Video Caster is an actual casting app and not a mirroring app. And there is a difference. Mirroring simply displays what is shown on the screen of a smart phone or tablet and then displays it your TV. This means you can't use your phone or tablet for anything else during the mirroring session and it must remain on.

Casting will actually stream the content from the Internet to your TV using a DLNA enabled device. Once the movie or show begins playing you can use your devices for other tasks or let the screen go dark into energy saver mode while the video continues to stream on your TV set.
