Chromecast Setup

If you have a TV with built-in Google Cast (most modern TVs) or a Chromecast dongle, you're ready. From StreamCheetah, start a stream, tap the cast icon in the player, pick your TV. The stream now plays on the TV. Your phone becomes a remote.

AirPlay Setup

If you have Apple TV or an AirPlay 2–enabled TV, start a stream in Safari on iPhone/iPad, tap the AirPlay icon in the player, pick your TV. Done. Your phone can lock without stopping the stream.

When Casting Fails

If cast icon is grayed out: 1) ensure phone and TV are on the same WiFi, 2) try another server in the StreamCheetah picker (some servers block casting via CORS), 3) restart your Chromecast or Apple TV.

Quality on TV

When casting, the TV plays the stream directly from the source — your phone just controls it. HD quality is preserved. If the TV shows lag, the issue is usually your WiFi, not StreamCheetah.

Alternatives Without a Chromecast or Apple TV

Use an HDMI cable from a laptop or an Android USB-C → HDMI adapter from your phone. Or use a Fire TV Stick with its built-in browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chromecast work from iPhone?

Yes, via the Google Home app or the native cast API in Chrome for iOS. Most StreamCheetah streams expose a cast icon directly in the player.

Does AirPlay work with every stream?

Most, but some server sources block screen mirroring via CORS. If AirPlay is grayed out, swap servers.

Can I use Chromecast and AirPlay on the same TV?

If the TV supports both (some newer models do), yes. Otherwise one or the other based on your TV.

Will my phone screen stay on while casting?

Casting means the stream plays on the TV, so you can lock your phone and the stream continues. Picture-in-picture on your phone also works independently.
