About

Prepare a direct video link, choose a receiver and start playback when you are ready. casttotv brings connection, playback controls and your resume point together in one place.

Pick up where you left off

Continue watching keeps your last video, its playback position and the receiver name on your phone. Return to the app, choose your receiver and tap resume. Reopening the app does not start playback automatically.

• See your saved position and video duration at a glance
• Find previous receivers in connection history; pair a laptop again when needed
• Clear your history and resume point together in Settings

Playback controls within reach

Pause or resume, skip back or forward 15 seconds, adjust the volume and disconnect from the playback panel. Controls follow the receiver’s reported state. Resume points are kept for supported direct video links, not temporary local file-sharing links.

Play on your laptop

Open the casttotv receiver on your laptop and enable its receiving screen. Use the same Wi-Fi network, then scan its QR code or enter its address and six-digit pairing code on your phone.

• Pause, resume and seek from your phone
• Keep your place and choose a device when you return
• MP4, WebM and image support depends on the receiving browser

Share your Android screen

Pair your laptop, open Screen mirroring and approve the Android screen-sharing prompt. Your screen is sent to the paired laptop over the local network. This mode currently has no audio; protected content may appear black.

Prepare content for your TV

The native app includes Google Cast controls and a picker for photos and videos. Direct video links can use MP4, WebM, HLS or DASH; playback depends on the receiver and media format. A YouTube page or another website URL is not a direct video link.

Made for everyday use

• Vietnamese and English
• Light, dark or system appearance
• Connection history and resume points stored on your phone, with a clear option in Settings
• Connection checks and guidance when your TV does not appear

Light, dark or your system setting

Choose Light or Dark in Settings, or follow your device’s appearance. The home screen, playback panel and saved video controls adapt to your choice. You can switch between Vietnamese and English in the same place.

Photos, video links and sharing

Choose a photo or video with the phone’s system picker, or share one file or a direct video link into casttotv from another app. Local media is served over your Wi-Fi network, without a cloud upload. Keep casttotv open while sharing a local file; leaving the app or changing networks stops that sharing session.

Still in development

Laptop video playback and Android screen mirroring have been tested on a physical Android phone. Google Cast playback on a real TV, iOS and local photo/video casting still need device validation. Google Cast requires a native installation; the web preview does not connect to TVs.
