  1. Ensure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi network as the TV device you're casting to.
  2. Find something you would like to watch in the VidAngel mobile app and set your filters. When you're ready to watch:
  3. Tap on the cast icon in the upper-right corner.
  4. Select your casting method.
  5. This will bring up a list of available devices on your network. Select the TV device you would like to use.
  6. On your mobile: The Cast icon should have turned blue. 
    On your TV: You will see the VidAngel logo with the text "Ready to Cast" or the AirPlay screen.
  7. On the mobile, select the "Play Now"  or episode image.
  8. The title will start on your TV!

 

Watching on your TV

After the show starts on your TV, you will be able to control it using your phone, or you can use the TV's remote. You can even close the VidAngel app on your phone, and it will continue to play on your TV!

If you want to disconnect from the TV, you can easily do this by tapping on the Cast icon in the corner again.

 

Rather not cast?

Did you know that Fire TV, Roku, Google TV Chromecast / Android TV, and Apple TV box all have their own VidAngel TV apps (no casting required!).

 

Having trouble?

If you're running into trouble when trying to watch from cast from the VidAngel mobile app, please be aware that currently, we cannot cast titles that contain advertisements. We hope to be able to support casting titles with ads in the future.
