Can you Chromecast Apple TV+

i share the sentiment - i have apple plus free - but i want to watch it on TV not on my phone.... like a huge % of population i have an android smart tv - for which it seems there will never be an app allowing direct ethernet connected tv... instead i am expeect to plug in a dongle or amazon stick and use wifi....

perhaps failure to sign in and watch will prompt apply to bring out apps so we can use it on other devices without hardward and clambering around the back of the tv swapping out HDMI

if they’re serious about getting in to the streaming market then they will need to embrace the ways people consume such content outside the apple ecosystem. Such as chromecasts and native apps on smart TVs. Sure I could watch the content on my phone, iPad or MacBook but I prefer to consume TVs and movies through my actual big screen television. Which I use my phone and a chrome cast to access content. Or the living room home theatre which has a smart tv with native apps for all the other streaming services.

Not only they don't officially support Chromecast, but actively prevent people from casting using Chromecast (I'm talking about the web streams, not even iPad or iPhone). Pretty much every video on the web can be streamed using Chromecast, except Apple TV+ videos. How do you do that?

Apple TV + requires airplay in order to stream to other devices. The TV app is also available on other devices. Chromecast does not have a UI and does not run native apps, as well as using a completely different protocol that would be prohibitive to maintaining protection.

This is also a user forum, no one here is from Apple nor will they be reading this. Also, rants are against the TOS for the forum.

Yes, I know. I received same 1 yr subscription. I actually canceled it after I found that I would need to purchase MORE equipment just to use the subscription. Shame... for Apple! Maybe they’ll read some of this and change their tactics.

As has been stated this is a user forum, and Apple will not be reading this. The TV app is supported on other devices. However, chromecast is not a standard streaming device and just a dongle that lets one cast content from their phone. Apple uses their own protocol, airplay, and thus they do not support that method.

You can cast from Google Chrome when you visit tv.apple.com.

In chrome the cast is in the menu below Zoom and Print. Click it so the icon shows up in the menu bar. Right-click the icon and click on "Always show icon" to make it more convenient to get to.

If you see an error regarding "source not supported" you may need to upgrade or restart chrome by entering chrome://restart in the address bar.

It would be nice if the app itself supported it, but this is probably the simplest workaround. Amazon was the same way with Prime Video for years, until they finally allowed casting from the Prime Video app last year on iOS devices.

let them know

Feedback - Apple TV - Apple

Totally agree with that point of view! Shame that I won 1 year subscribe, but can’t use it wireless 😫

It does not work well, keeps stopping. Please make a native Chrome or TV else support!!!
