Why Chromecast needs AirPlay

Chromecast with Google TV is one of the most popular streaming devices worldwide. It's affordable, compact, and turns any HDMI port into a smart TV. But it has one big limitation for Apple households: no native AirPlay support.

Google built Chromecast around the Cast protocol, which works great for Android and Chrome but leaves iPhone and Mac users stranded. Sure, some apps support Chromecast — but many don't. And screen mirroring? Impossible without extra hardware.

OwlCast changes the game. It installs directly on your Chromecast via Google Play and turns it into a full AirPlay receiver. Your iPhone detects it automatically. Tap Screen Mirroring, select your Chromecast, and your entire screen appears on the TV.

Works on all Chromecast models

Tip: Chromecast devices are small and often tucked behind TVs. Make sure your Chromecast has a strong WiFi signal for the best AirPlay experience. If mirroring lags, try moving your router closer or switching to 5GHz.

AirPlay on Chromecast. Finally.

No Apple TV. No adapters. Just your Chromecast and OwlCast.
