Topic	Why is casting YouTube from a smartphone to a SmartTV/multimedia device so bad?
helIy 11/01/18 4:16:04 PM #10:	no one in here knows how youtube casting works. it's not bluetooth, it's wifi. choosing to cast to a device on your network only works if: the device is on your internet network, and if your youtube account is the same as the one you're casting from. when cast, your device turns into a remote control, essentially, and the device you cast to starts a youtube app and plays the video. where this turns to ass is on streaming sticks like chromecast, which can't run apps. it has to stream a virtual form of the app. this doesn't explain why he has issues with it when he does it to an xbox or ps4, since those just start the native apps. --- take 'em out back <cite>helIy posted [p:911609375] in Why is cas...
