If your TV doesn’t have a MediaZilla app, you can still watch projects by casting them from your computer, phone, or tablet. Casting sends the video to your TV while you control playback from your device.
Before You Begin
Connect your TV and casting device to the same Wi-Fi network.
Samsung and LG TVs don’t support Google Cast. Use AirPlay (Apple devices) or Smart View (Android).
With some methods, only the video plays on the TV; menus stay on your device. With screen mirroring, menus + videos are shown.
Casting from Apple Devices (iPhone, iPad, or Mac)
You have two ways to cast:
Option 1: AirPlay (Video Only)
Open the MediaZilla app or a project in Safari.
Start playing a video.
Tap the AirPlay icon at the top of the player.
Select your AirPlay-enabled TV/device (Apple TV, or TVs from LG, Samsung, Roku, Sony, Vizio).
👉 This option casts only the video; menus remain on your device.
👉 Note: Chrome on iOS does not support AirPlay.
Option 2: Screen Mirroring (Full Screen, Including Menus)
On iPhone/iPad: open Control Center → tap Screen Mirroring → choose your TV.
On Mac: open Control Center from the menu bar → click Screen Mirroring → choose your TV.
👉 This mirrors your entire screen, so both videos and menus appear on the TV.
Casting from Android Devices
Depending on your TV, you can use Smart View or Google Cast:
Option 1: Smart View (Full Screen, For Samsung & LG TVs)
Open the MediaZilla app or a project in Chrome.
Open Quick Settings → tap Smart View.
Select your Samsung or LG TV (must be on the same Wi-Fi network).
👉 This mirrors your entire screen, so both videos and menus appear on the TV.
Option 2: Google Cast (Video Only, For Most Other TVs)
Open the MediaZilla app and tap the Cast icon in the top-right of the dashboard.
Or open the project in Chrome on your phone/tablet and start playing a video.
Select your Google Cast–compatible TV/device.
The video will play on your TV.
👉 This option casts only the video; menus remain on your device.
Casting from Windows or Mac Computers (Chrome Browser)
If you’re using a Windows PC or Mac with a Google Cast–compatible TV/device:
Open the project in Chrome.
Start playing a video.
Click the Cast icon in the lower-right of the video.
Select your TV from the list.
👉 This casts only the video; menus remain on your computer.
👉 Note: Does not work with Samsung or LG TVs.
