How to Cast a Web Browser to Chromecast From an iPad

Many web browsers have a built-in cast feature that allows you to mirror some content onto your TV screen. Unfortunately, the feature isn’t available for all web pages, but luckily it’s enabled on some of the most popular streaming services, including YouTube, Hulu, and Netflix.

To start casting your web browser onto your TV using the Chromecast device, you’ll need the help of a third-party app like the Video & TV Cast app available at the Apple Store. The app is free, but it also features a paid version. Here’s how to use the app to cast a web browser to your Chromecast device:

  1. Launch Video & TV Cast on your iPad and allow it to access your network.

  2. The app should automatically detect and connect to your Chromecast. If it doesn’t, tap on the cast icon in the upper left corner of the window and select your Chromecast device.

  3. Open Google Chrome and start watching a video. The app should detect the video automatically and provide you with a link that you can click to begin casting the video on your TV.
    How To Watch Chromecast From An IPad

Please note that the “Video & TV Cast” app only mirrors videos and images on a particular web page, not the entire web page. If you want to cast the whole web page to your TV, an excellent option will be the “TV Mirror for Chromecast” app, which offers the service for a paid subscription. Luckily they have a two-month free trial during which you can try out the app’s features and see if it’s a worthy investment.

Maximize on the Big Screen

Chromecast is the best way to cast series, movies, documentaries, and other educational videos on your TV. Luckily, many popular streaming apps come with the cast feature built-in, making it a snap to start watching your favorite videos on the big screen. However, casting a complete web page can be difficult, but you can get around this by using third-party software.

Regardless, we hope you can now use your Chromecast with your iPad to watch the shows you love from your favorite streaming apps.
