Install the A-Cast Player and A-Cast in your Apple TV and Android devices respectively. After you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, launch both apps and add the TV to your Android device in A-Cast app. Browse the web for videos in the Android app and cast them to Apple TV. It's that easy!
NOTE: Please keep the A-Cast Player open in Apple TV when using A-Cast app at all times.
You will only be able to cast online videos from webpages and not the videos stored in your phone.
A-Cast All-Star Edition is an in-app upgrade priced at 3.99 USD or equivalent in local currency. It has no time limits and removes the ads at the bottom of the browser.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot:
If you don't have a working Wi-Fi/Internet connection and if you want to connect your Apple TV to a mobile hotspot then you can enable this option to cast videos within the hotspot. If you are using Apple TV in a Wi-Fi network then don't enable this setting. Follow these steps to cast videos to a Apple TV device within a mobile hotspot:
No, if you don't have a Wi-Fi network, you could use A-Cast in a mobile hotspot to enjoy videos on your Apple TV. Follow the steps listed here.
Videos have to be played in full view in order for A-Cast to get the video information and send it to the Apple TV device. Depending on the Android version, some websites might play the videos in an embedded view within the web page, like YouTube in Android 3.0. In those websites you'll have to press the full view icon (4 arrows at the bottom right corner) to launch the cast menu.
Also, the cast menu will only launch if you have at least one Apple TV device.
No, you can only cast videos that are available online. Both Android device and Apple TV should have access to the Internet.
No, we do not collect any information about what is being cast. You can be confident that A-Cast does not employ any usage analytics either! We would like to know how much fun you are having with this app so please share your A-Cast stories via email or if you choose to write a review about the app in Google Play. We'd like to hear from our users but their business is their business!
In some devices the embedded view continues to play even after casting begins. In that situation, pause the video in the embedded view before pressing the full view icon to launch the cast menu.
Please close and reopen the app to refresh the purchase information. If that doesn't work then close the app again, open the Google Play app and select the Google account you used to purchase the upgrade. Reopen the A-Cast app for the purchase to take effect. You'll see the upgrade button if you don't have Internet access. Once you regain network access the app will refresh the purchase information and the upgrade button will disappear.
In some cases Google Play takes a few hours to download purchases made from one device to another device using the same Google account. Please wait a few hours and try again.
The 10 minute time limit only applies to the Apple TV. There are no time limits on the browser. You can browse and watch videos locally for as long as you want. To remove ads at the bottom of the browser you have to upgrade the browser.
