LocalCast is a mobile app for Android and iOS. There is no separate PC application, but you can use LocalCast with your PC by sharing folders via SMB or running a DLNA server. LocalCast on your phone discovers your PC's shared files and streams them to your TV wirelessly.
On Windows, right-click a folder, select Properties, go to the Sharing tab, and click Share. Make sure your PC and phone are on the same Wi-Fi. Open LocalCast on your phone, browse the network, and your PC's shared folders appear automatically. Select a file and cast to your TV.
Yes. On Mac, go to System Settings > General > Sharing and enable File Sharing. Add the folders you want to share. LocalCast connects to Mac shares using SMB, the same protocol macOS uses natively. Your Mac's shared folders will appear automatically in LocalCast's network browser.
LocalCast supports all common media formats when streaming from PC, including MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WMV, WEBM for video and MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, WAV for audio. If your TV doesn't natively support a format, LocalCast handles the conversion automatically.
