Most hotel TVs have DLNA or a built-in casting receiver and nobody tells you. LocalCast turns that silent feature into a one-tap experience: open the app, tap the TV, start watching your stuff — no Chromecast, no travel router, no cable rummaging.
LocalCast works with DLNA receivers that are already inside modern hotel TVs. You pack less, airport security is faster, and you don't risk forgetting your Chromecast in a drawer somewhere.
Usually the hotel Wi-Fi is enough. If the TV is on a separate SSID, switch your phone to it for the casting session.
Browse local videos, Dropbox, Google Drive or the LocalCast built-in browser. Tap what you want to watch.
The TV shows up in the device list — usually with a generic name like "LG Hotel TV" or "Samsung LYNK". Tap it and watch.
Most hotel TVs from 2018 onward have DLNA or a similar media-sharing feature enabled by the hotel IT team. LG Pro:Centric and Samsung LYNK both include it by default. LocalCast finds whichever receiver is live and connects automatically.
Free on Android and iOS. Pack lighter, watch more.
