Web Video Cast is an Android app in the Video Players & Editors category, developed by InstantBits Inc. It is built around casting multimedia from a handheld device to a larger screen, and it can also work with content that already exists on the device. The app is listed at version 6.0.3.
The app combines a web browser with casting tools. Content can be found through the browser or selected from the device library, and the phone then acts as a remote control for playback on the TV.
What the App Does
Web Video Cast is a streaming application that sends content from handheld devices to large-screen TVs. It supports a variety of content available on the device and content that can be searched through the web browser. The app can put requested content on different types of devices, and this method is also suitable for existing media such as Chromecast.
Resources used by the app usually come from websites that can be searched through the search engine provided. Alternatively, users can choose from content already on the device to watch videos and images.
Device Compatibility
- The app can operate with smart TVs and accompanying devices, including Chromecast and Playstation.
- It is described as compatible with modern Playstation devices.
- Local content can be viewed through a wireless connection.
Browsing and Local Content
Available content can be selected from the web browser provided by the app and shown on the TV. For content already stored on the device, users can view prepared media through a wireless connection. The app supports switching between web searches and local files, and the experience can then continue on the TV.
Controls and Setup
The app is described as simple and intuitive, with functions that can be grasped on the first use. The smartphone acts as a TV remote, so content can be controlled with one touch. Quick search features can be used to find content or access local libraries, and the app helps create convenient connection settings, especially with familiar devices.
Subtitles, Bookmarks, and History
Videos often come with subtitles, and if they do not, subtitles can be adjusted as desired. Settings such as quick access or bookmarks can be made to continue content later. Bookmarks can be placed on a piece of content so it can be accessed and continued with one touch. The app also allows some playback order to be arranged, which applies to elements with a short duration. Viewed content history can be reviewed, and content can be revisited if it remains of interest.
Supported Media and Formats
The app supports content across live streams, videos, and images. Popular formats such as MP3, MP4, and PNG are supported, along with many others. For casting, popular video formats such as MP4, MOV, and MKE are compatible. Besides videos on the device, media such as images, music, or HTML5 videos can also be cast.
Advertising and Viewing
The app is described as completely free of disruptive in-app advertising. Viewing time is focused on the chosen content, without annoying elements that can appear and make users wait for tens of seconds. The app can stream for a long time when the device provides the same, and everything only ends when the control device no longer has power, so a backup battery plan may be needed.
