Application to mirror the screen and audio of your iPhone or iPad to a Chromecast 1, 2, 3, Ultra, or Google TV. You can mirror any app on your iPhone or iPad to your Chromecast. In using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually between 2 and 4). So this mirroring is not suitable for gaming. However, it is very suitable for watching movies, giving presentations, watching photos, and much more! How the app works: 1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same local network as your Chromecast. Don't use multiple VLANs or subnets. 2. Launch the Mirror for Chromecast app. It will start looking for your Chromecast devices on your local network. When a Chromecast is found, please select it. 3. Turn on notifications for this app. We will not spam you, but we will use this to let you know if your Chromecast is working correctly or not. So please, please allow it, otherwise when things don't work as they should, you are left in the dark. 4. Click on Start Mirroring to start mirroring on the Chromecast that is currently selected. After that, you can just go to any other app on your iPhone or iPad and the mirroring just continues to run. 5. To stop mirroring, there are two options. (1) click on the red top bar that you will see on your iPhone or iPad. (2) Go to the Mirror for Chromecast app and click on Stop Mirroring.

Feel free to check: Our Terms of Use: http://bit.ly/ToU-MfC Our Privacy Policy: https://www.airbeam.tv/privacy-policy/ Limitations and known issues: DRM Some apps block Screen Mirroring. This means that application developers can choose themselves if they want to block Screen Mirroring. For instance, Netflix, Disney and AppleTV+ have decided to block this. There is a simple test that you can do to see if the app that you want to mirror has blocked Screen Mirroring: Open that particular app and slide up Control Center on your iPhone/iPad. Then, click on Screen Recording and start recording the screen to your Camera Roll. Watch the app that you want to mirror and at some point stop the screen recording. Then go to your Photos app and watch the video that was recorded. If the recorded video shows the app you want to mirror, it works fine. If the video is empty, then the app you want to mirror does not allow Screen Mirroring. About Screen Recording and Privacy Even though there are notifications about Screen Recording, we don't record your screen into files and we don't send any content to a server. We only temporarily store data in memory, before it is streamed to TV. Upon streaming, the content is removed from memory.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Oricam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mirror For Chromecast App has 788 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Oricam's written reviews are positive against 29% of Mirror For Chromecast App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Oricam ships an update every 3 weeks, Mirror For Chromecast App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
