Yes, if you use Android. The Apple TV app for Android now has a Google Cast button, so you can send a video directly to a Chromecast or compatible Google Cast TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is different on iPhone and iPad, where the Apple TV app still uses AirPlay instead of Google Cast. If you own a Chromecast with Google TV or Google TV Streamer, you can install Apple TV on the device and watch without casting from a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the short version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1: Cast Apple TV from Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Apple TV app for Android now supports Google Cast. Apple confirms this in its Android playback guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start casting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Connect your Android device and Chromecast to the same Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Open Apple TV and play a video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tap the screen to show the playback controls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Tap the Cast button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Choose your Chromecast or Google Cast TV.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Your TV will play the video while the Android device works as the controller. Tap the Cast button again and choose \u201cStop Casting\u201d when you\u2019re finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This also works with older Chromecast models that support Google Cast. They cannot install Apple TV, but they can receive a cast from the Android app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you cannot find the Cast button, update Apple TV and start playing a video first. The button may not appear while you are simply browsing the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Method 2: Install Apple TV on Chromecast with Google TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Chromecast with Google TV can run Apple TV directly. Google TV Streamer and many TVs with Google TV can do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is not casting: the Apple TV app runs on the streaming device, and you control it with the remote. Apple lists Google TV and Chromecast with Google TV among its supported platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To install Apple TV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Open the Apps section on Google TV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Search for \u201cApple TV.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Install and open the official app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Sign in with your Apple Account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Choose something to watch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      This is usually the best option if your Chromecast has Google TV. It does not rely on your phone, and playback continues even when the phone is elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Older Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra devices do not have an app store. Use the Android or Chrome method instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Method 3: Cast Apple TV from Chrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      A computer gives you another way to use Apple TV with an older Chromecast. Apple supports watching at tv.apple.com in Chrome, and Chrome can cast a browser tab to Chromecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Connect the computer and Chromecast to the same Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Open Chrome and visit tv.apple.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Sign in and start playing a video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Open Chrome\u2019s menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Select \u201cCast, save, and share,\u201d then \u201cCast.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Choose your Chromecast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Set the source to \u201cCast tab\u201d if prompted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Google\u2019s Chrome casting guide<\/a> covers Chromecast, Chromecast Ultra, Google TV Streamer, and TVs with Google Cast. Apple separately confirms that its service works in Chrome through the Apple TV website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Keep Chrome open while watching. If protected video does not play correctly, use the native Apple TV app or an HDMI connection instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Can you Chromecast Apple TV from an iPhone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Not directly. The Apple TV app on iPhone and iPad does not currently include a Google Cast button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Apple uses AirPlay for wireless playback on these devices. AirPlay works with Apple TV hardware and AirPlay-compatible smart TVs, but a standard Chromecast is not an AirPlay receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Having a Chromecast with Google TV does not add a Cast button to the iPhone app. In that case, install Apple TV on the Chromecast itself and use its remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If your television supports AirPlay, you can stream to it from an iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Connect the iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Play a video in Apple TV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Tap the AirPlay button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Select your television.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          See Apple\u2019s AirPlay instructions<\/a> for supported receivers and additional setup details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Alternative: mirror your screen with 1001 TVs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          1001 TVs<\/a> is useful when you want to show photos, webpages, presentations, local files, or other apps on a larger screen. It can mirror a phone or computer to compatible Google TV and Android TV receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Basic setup takes four steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Install 1001 TVs on the sending device and compatible TV receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. \u0626\u0649\u0643\u0643\u0649 \u0626\u06c8\u0633\u0643\u06c8\u0646\u0649\u0646\u0649 \u0626\u0648\u062e\u0634\u0627\u0634 Wi-Fi \u062a\u0648\u0631\u0649\u063a\u0627 \u0626\u06c7\u0644\u0627\u06ad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Open Screen Mirroring and select the receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Approve the connection to begin mirroring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
