Apple TV is one of the widely used apps that doesn’t support screen casting. Well, that’s a bit of a weird thing but true (at the time of writing this article). That means it’s nearly impossible to screen-cast Apple TV to a Chromecast device. The same problem continues even with the latest Chromecast with Google TV. Though there is no straightforward way to cast Apple TV to Chromecast, you can still have a web browser workaround that can help a lot.

So, we can say that you can basically cast to a Chromecast device using a web browser to stream Apple TV movies and shows whatsoever. If you’re a Chromecast with a Google TV user then there’s no need to cast Apple TV. The Apple TV+ subscription service now offers thousands of content in its library but the lack of screencasting is still there. Maybe there is some kind of hardware limitation or compatibility issues most probably.

It’s worth mentioning that the Apple TV app for iPhone and iPad currently doesn’t support Chromecast. So, it’s unknown to most of us when this compatibility issue will gonna be fixed. But obviously, it will take some time and we can expect that Apple will bring the Chromecast support to Apple TV in the near future. As of now, Apple is pushing its ecosystem users to prefer AirPlay for casting to Apple TV which is limited to the Apple ecosystem.

How to Cast Apple TV to Chromecast?

If you’re one of the proud owners of the newer Chromecast with Google TV then there is actually no need to cast Apple TV. In early 2021, the Apple TV app became available directly to download on the latest Chromecast with Google TV which is helpful for the users. So, just downloading the Apple TV app from the Google Play Store will do the job. Sign in to your Apple ID or create a new one and then start streaming Apple TV content with casting support.

It’s also worth mentioning that some of the selected Android TV (Google TV) devices can also download the Apple TV app and support screen casting. So, it can be a great alternative to directly casting Apple TV to a Chromecast with Google TV. If in case, you’re having an older Chromecast model then you won’t be able to download the Apple TV app due to compatibility issues. In this scenario, it’ll be the best idea to access the Apple TV website via a browser.

Yes! You guessed it right. Accessing the Apple TV website via the Google Chrome browser and then casting the screen directly to a Chromecast device will be the workaround right now. Meanwhile, users will need to sign in to the Apple TV website, and then they can use Chrome’s built-in feature to cast to nearby devices to find the Chromecast and stream videos directly.

Although it won’t gonna be as convenient as screencasting the content directly from a smartphone app, there is nothing to do for the older generation of Chromecast users. There will be a little option available when it comes to watching Apple TV and Apple TV+ on a Chromecast. This option may gonna change in the near future if the Apple TV app gets fully functional Chromecast support. It seems that Chromecast users will have to wait further.

At the time of writing this article, there is no possible solution to cast Apple TV to a Chromecast directly or via the smartphone (iPhone or iPad) app. This isn’t surprising at all because Apple always sticks to its plans and pushes its users to be within its ecosystem whatsoever. So, the cross-platform compatibility with the Apple TV and Chromecast will take time for sure.

Meanwhile, Chromecast with Google TV users can download the Apple TV app via the Play Store. Whereas the older Chromecast users can directly visit the Apple TV website via a web browser like Chrome and then use the casting feature which is available in the browser (built-in).
