Understanding the two tools

Megacloud Is a Host

Megacloud stores and serves HLS video streams. Third-party sites embed Megacloud players to deliver video to users' browsers. You never install Megacloud — it's infrastructure, not an app.

1

Open LocalCast Browser

Launch LocalCast and tap the built-in browser. Navigate to any site that embeds Megacloud.

The Megacloud player loads inside the browser like normal. LocalCast scans for HLS streams in the background and surfaces a cast button when it finds one.

3

Cast to TV

Tap the cast button, pick your TV, done. The Megacloud stream plays on your TV while your phone becomes the remote.

LocalCast + Megacloud — FAQ

No. Megacloud is a video host / player infrastructure; LocalCast is a cast-to-TV app. The two don't overlap. If you want to watch a Megacloud-hosted video on your TV, LocalCast is the tool that handles that — Megacloud itself has no casting feature.
