Casting photos, videos and music
Send photos, videos and music from your iPhone to the TV. Open the More menu and choose Cast.
- Choose what to cast: Photos, Videos, Files, Music or Web Video.
- Pick the TV. TVkip plays through the TV's own media player (DLNA, Google Cast or Roku).
- Use the playback controls in the app: play/pause, next, seek and volume. Pick two or more photos for a slideshow.
Free and Pro
- Free: photos and videos from your library, 10 casts a day. A slideshow counts as one cast. Free casts refill at midnight.
- Pro: no daily limit, plus music and web videos.
If it doesn't play
- MP4 (H.264) video, JPEG photos and MP3 or AAC music play on almost every TV. Videos from your photo library are converted automatically, so pick them there instead of in Files.
- Apple Music songs are copy-protected. Songs you bought, or added from your Mac and downloaded to this iPhone, can be cast.
- Some videos need converting first; see What plays on your TV for each TV's formats.
- "This TV can't receive casts from the app": make sure the TV is on and on the same Wi-Fi. Some TVs need Screen Share or DMR turned on in their network settings. If your TV supports AirPlay, use the AirPlay button instead.
- Keep TVkip open while casting from your iPhone: iOS pauses the app's media server a few seconds after you leave it.
