Casting

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. If no compatible device is detected by the player, no cast icon appears.

To enable casting, add an empty cast object in your setup.

jwplayer("myElement").setup({
    "playlist": "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/playlists/1a2Bc3d4",
    "height": 360,
    "width": 640,
    "cast": {}
});

If you are using a custom receiver, assign the identifier of the custom receiver to the cast.appid property.
