[GUIDE] Skype on TV

Hello,
Here a little guide to stream Skype on TV with Chromecast.
With Chromecast + Android,
we can make video call on TV with Skype.
The idea is to cast screen from Android to Chromecast / TV, then run Skype.
Cast screen and mirroring is the same.
Required :
- TV + Chromecast
- Android 4.4
- Chromecast app
- Skype (official version or fixed version here)
- MirrorEnabler here need ROOT if your device is not officially supported to Cast Screen with Chromecast
If the last version of Skype don’t work on your device, then install this fixed version : here.
MirrorEnabler enable mirroring from any device. Mirroring (cast screen) is the third functionality of Chromecast, which allow to duplicate your Android screen in real time to TV.
- Install Skype (I recommend the fixed version above).
- Install Chromecast on TV.
- Install MirrorEnabler (only if your device is not officially supported to Cast Screen). Enable its functions, reboot.
- Cast screen to Chromecast / TV from Chromecast app.
- Run Skype.
- Voilà !

May I be the first to say Thanks Dude ???

Thanks in advance

Wow nice, actually i'm using my chromecast with popcorntime... Will give a shoot to this, but it's the audio working or not?

I havent tried skype but everything else I've tried has the audio go through the tv, my device is officially supported if that makes a difference.

Hi there,
i found this on the Support-Site at Motorola.com
"What is CastScreen?
Cast Screen is an Android app that will allow users to wirelessly share phone content on a television via Chromecast.
Although Cast Screen is not currently active, plans call for it to become usable in a future software update."

[Request] Miracast for Nexus 6: Netflix Solution

Please see this thread for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nexus-6-miracast-t2952461
Using build.prop, we can enable Miracast on Shamu. I am using Netgear P2TV 3000 with the most up to date firmware. Netflix seems to have an issue or some sort of DRM in the app to block the video stream on Miracast. The audio plays and you get a playback screen, but the video is just a black screen. Other apps work fine and the display/audio is pretty good.
Could someone please find a solution to this issue? Thanks!

the same happened to me but using chromecast ... audio and closed captions but no video image... still figuring out as it was netflix app specific, tried other online streaming directly from chrome and it worked..

Maybe try Netflix for xbmc. If you are unaware of xbmc give it a google. I don't have Netflix so I can't say what does or doesn't work.

You trying something wacky, like "cast screen"? Because the netflix android application *contains* a netflix CHROMECAST application, and installs it as needed. It does not transfer video from the phone to the chromecast, the chromecast logs in and runs netflix directly.

nope, i think it is something related to DRM, i know netflix app do have en embedded chromecast beam however it does not work on my nexus 6, if i use the cast screen option to mirror i can see video with no issues from chrome or any other app, but not form netflix despise using cast from chromecast app or directly from the netflix app, it makes no difference

now working with 5.1

Cast to TV??

Hi I have Moto g6 with no root and I am trying to cast video's (not YouTube ) to my smart TV which has WiFi and my son's Samsung can be seen on the TV
I tried settings display cast ...but it says no device found and no option to search for device.also from the top menu on screen it has a cast button that actually searches but alas nothing found
Any ideas please

Is your device on your WiFi? Also, is it a Chromecast tv? Because if the TV uses Miracast, or mirroring, it won't work. The g6 is capable of casting via Chromecast protocol, but not Miracast.

I just checked mine recently. Assuming being close to stock Android that it had Miracast. (My nuxus' all had it) but when digging in the settings, I never found it in the usual places. I have the g6 play though, so I wasn't 100% sure.

It's strange but it can cast YouTube video?? Just not tea TV app

Yes, there's a cast button on the YouTube app on your phone, but it will still be casting through the YouTube app on your TV.

u need to edit/add a line on build.prop
i'll just check an add here

ok so the option on every motorola phone used to be under screen settings but wouldn't work. we would edit a line on build.prop to make it work. now even editing the line doesn't work, the option isn't even there anymore (I've updated to Pie already, but on Oreo I had done that).

Screen Cast not working

Even though I can use the cast option on YouTube the system does not detect any wireless display on the network so I can't mirror my phone's screen or cast downloaded videos. Is anyone else facing a similar issue?

Actually it's miracast not Google cast which is good and if you want to Chromecast your screen you can use Google home app.

could you please check for me your realme x2 pro support turkish?
