I received an email invitation (example below)
Share Link
Share links can be viewed in a web browser on a desktop or mobile device and cast to a TV.
Cast from a Desktop Web Browser
Desktop computers with the Chrome web browser can cast to TV's that support Google Cast. Nearly all brand TV's support Google Cast except LG and Samsung. If you are casting a share link to an LG or Samsung TV, you will need to use a mobile device instead. For all other brand TV's, please follow the instructions below for casting from a desktop.
Make sure you are using the Chrome browser.
While playing a video (either a standalone video or a video within a presentation), click the Google Cast icon that appears in the lower-right of the video.
You will see a pop-up informing you: this is for Google Cast compatible devices only, for Samsung or LG TV's you must cast via a mobile device, and that only videos are cast, not menus. Click 'Ok' to continue. You can also opt to not show the message again in the future.
Select your TV device from the list that appears (must be on the same network).
It can take a few seconds for the devices to sync. The video will begin playing on the TV. Presentation menus can only be viewed on the desktop computer, and cannot be cast to the TV.
Cast from a Web Browser on an Apple iPhone/iPad
Apple mobile browsers cast to TV's using the Apple AirPlay technology. Only specific brand TV's support AirPlay: LG, Samsung, Roku, Sony, and Vizio.
Make sure you are using the Safari or Chrome web browser.
While playing a video (either a standalone video or a video within a presentation), click the AirPlay icon that appears in the lower-right of the video.
Select your AirPlay compatible TV device from the list that appears (must be on the same network).
It can take a few seconds for the devices to sync. The video will begin playing on the TV. Presentation menus can only be viewed on the mobile device, and cannot be cast to the TV.
Cast from a Web Browser on an Android Phone/Tablet
Android mobile devices can cast to TV's using either the Smart View screen mirroring (built into Android OS) or via Google Cast. We recommend using Google Cast if your TV supports it. For LG and Samsung TV's, you must use Smart View.
Cast via Smart View
Open the quick settings panel on your Android mobile device by swiping down from the top of the screen using two fingers. Then, swipe to and tap the Smart View icon.
Select your TV device from the list that appears (must be on the same wifi network).
It can take a few seconds for the devices to sync. Your entire screen will be cast to the TV as you navigate to and play videos from your Android mobile device.

Email Invitation / Private Delivery
If you received an invitation to add the video to your own MediaZilla library, we highly recommend using the MediaZilla app for the best viewing experience.
The MediaZilla app can be installed from the Google Play Store, Amazon appstore, and Apple App Store.
Cast from Phone or Tablet Using Google Cast
The MediaZilla app allows you to cast from an Apple iPhone/iPad or Android phone/tablet to a TV that supports Google Cast (most brands except LG and Samsung). If you have an LG or Samsung TV, you will need to use the AirPlay method (from iPhone/iPad) or Smart View screen mirroring (from Android).
Download the MediaZilla app and sign in. Learn more here.
In the app, click the Google Cast icon in the upper-right.
