About Web Video Cast
Web Video Cast is a free iOS app developed by InstantBits Inc that streams videos from a mobile browser directly to a connected TV or streaming device, rather than mirroring the device screen. It supports a wide range of popular streaming hardware including Chromecast, DLNA-enabled devices, Roku, Apple TV 4, and Fire TV, and can play HLS live streams, MP4 files, authenticated video content, and HTML5 videos. Key limits include no support for Flash or FLV content, no tab casting functionality, and no video transcoding, so playback depends on the streaming device's ability to decode the source video format.
