Casting and mirroring

Overview:

As Wexer’s web-player is an online service often access via smartphone or laptop, many users prefer to have the content display on a larger screen. For this reason, we see many users decide to “Mirror”, “Cast”, “Chromecast” or "AirPlay" the video to a larger screen like a TV.

There are many ways to cast a video to a larger screen, and these options have grown over the recent years.

Only two methods are supported to cast the web-player.  While it may work with other methods, you may experience issues with resolution, playback, etc.

Please review the below information on casting and mirroring:

1.  Google Chromecast - If you would like to use this method or can’t get it to work, you will need to review the Google Chromecast technical support here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/?hl=en

2. Apple AirPlay - if you would like to use this method or can’t get it to work, you will need to review the Apple AirPlay technical support here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204289

3. “Mirroring” through your TV’s firmware - although many late model TV’s such as Samsung and LG TVs have a way to ‘mirror’ what is on your phone, this is merely mirroring everything on your phone and is not actually taking the web-player functionality onto a television. Wexer does not recommend “mirroring” through these third party solutions as results will vary widely and issues cannot be supported.
