Casting enables a viewer to use Google Cast or Apple AirPlay technologies to stream video and audio content to a compatible TV or sound system. By enabling the casting feature for a player, a viewer can tap an icon in the control bar to stream your content on a cast-compatible device on the same network. If no compatible device is detected by the player, no cast icon appears.
