Since I don’t have an Apple TV, I was trying to Airplay Mac to Google Chromecast.Įven though Google is offering Google Cast plugin to stream your desktop and local videos, the solution is still not reliable. Google did a good job of integrating Android OS with Chromecast, and you can see Android Apps to Stream Media Files from Phone to Chromecast. Sometimes, I lost my audio and saw the only video on my TV Screen. I start to see the background of my PC screen while streaming the videos to TV. I tried to cast a couple of videos from Mac to Chromecast, and the video and audio streaming experience were not much encouraging. However, when I tried to cast a local video from a PC, this Google Cast plugin was not enough to successfully stream my video.

For Mac users, this is almost like Mac Airplay. You can stream web videos and audio directly from Chrome browser to TV with a simple click on the Google Cast plugin.

This will work perfectly when you want to see your browser content on a big screen TV. Did you ever try to stream local videos to Chromecast from Windows or MAC? Or ever tried to Mac Airplay to Chromecast? Google is offering Chrome plugin to cast a PC browser or desktop screen to big screen TV with Chromecast.
