Vidaa is the smart-TV OS that runs on most Hisense, Toshiba and JVC TVs. LocalCast talks to it directly over DLNA, so you can stream videos, photos and music from your phone without buying a Chromecast, Fire Stick or any other dongle.
Vidaa TVs have DLNA built in. LocalCast uses that built-in receiver directly, so you save the cost of a Chromecast or Fire Stick and free up an HDMI port on the back of the TV.
Make sure your phone and the Vidaa TV are on the same Wi-Fi network. Vidaa TVs keep DLNA discovery on by default.
Open LocalCast on your phone, browse your local files, Dropbox, Google Drive, NAS or built-in browser, and tap the video you want to watch.
LocalCast shows your Vidaa TV in the device list. Tap it — the video appears on the TV and your phone becomes the remote.
Some newer Vidaa models advertise "Chromecast built-in", but many older and mid-range units don't. LocalCast works on both — it uses DLNA, which every Vidaa TV has supported since 2017.
No Chromecast, no Fire Stick — just LocalCast. Free forever.
