Quick tips to turn Any Android Device Into a Chromecast
- All you need to install the CastReceiver app on the Android phone or tablet you want to turn into a Chromecast receiver.
- Next, open the app and allow the necessary permissions, including the ability to display over other apps.
- Now, move to your primary device and open an app that supports casting like YouTube, Google Photos, or YouTube Music.
- After that, tap on the “cast” button, and you will find the casting device you just installed the app on. Simply select it.
- And there you go! It will start casting the media on another Android device.
- I even used Google Photos, and it successfully mirrored the photo on another device seamlessly.
- You can even play music on another device using YouTube Music.
- Keep this in mind that the app doesn’t support the casting of DRM-protected content from apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Hotstar, etc.
