Chromecast:
You may be able to use ‘screen mirroring’ to cast SWEAT onto your TV from a mobile device, tablet or computer. The SWEAT app has not been designed for all size screens and this may result in some display errors.
Sweat does not have a direct feature allowing you to be able to cast like Youtube or Netflix however, you can mirror your iPhone using Chromecast TV by using a third-party app. The Chromecast Streamer app lets you mirror your iPhone's screen to any Chromecast device on the same Wi-Fi network.
To mirror your mobile device you will need to first set up your mobile to the Chromecast device.
- In your iPhone's App Store, download and launch the Chromecast Streamer app.
- Give Chromecast Streamer permission to find and connect to devices on your local network. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast.
- You should see the name of your Google Chromecast (or multiple Chromecasts, if you have more than one it may be a good idea to name them so you can tell the difference)
- Tap 'Connect to the Chromecast'
- Once you've connected, you should be able to close the app and use your iPhone normally, with its screen mirrored to your TV.
