There are over 100 different iPhone and iPad apps that support Chromecast, and we had to make some tough choices for some that didn't make our list. If you try out Videostream and love it, you can upgrade to Videostream Premium and enjoy the ability to create video playlists, then control everything from your phone as well. Your video will play on your Chromecast-connected TV, and you'll be able to control playback via your phone. All you need is a computer - Mac or PC - with Chrome, install the Chromecast extension, then open a video file from your computer in the Videostream tab. This is a free app that can install on your Chromecast browser. We selected one free solution from Chrome Web Store, called Videostream for Google Chromecast. The best solution to stream local videos from PC and Mac through Chromecast is to use a Chrome VideoStream app. Like Plex, this requires you to set things up between your computer and Chromecast as well, but unlike Plex, you don't need to set up any complicated media servers to get down to watching your favorite movies or TV shows. Step1: Install VideoStream Chrome Extension. The app for iPhone and iPad allows you to remotely control all your media from your phone. Videostream is one of the best Chromecast apps for streaming content from your computer to your Chromecast-connected TV.
