Streaming on 4G and casting through Chromecast to a computer monitor works pretty well!

Which chromecast app? I have an iphone so in my app store there is chromcast stream and tv cast for chromecast?

@LTA Soldier - That would definitely be a good feature to have. An "only stream game clips on Wi-Fi" option would solve that.

The YouTube app on the Xbox One does casting, which is pretty cool. It works the same way as the Chromecast. I agree with the OP though. It would be cool if you could display photos and videos on your TV via your phone through the Xbox One.

Hi Charles you can watch movies with the Microsoft Movies and TV app on your device. Also you can stream media by casting it to a device.

Hi again. I wish you could explain to me how to do this. My TV displays our cable on HDMI1. We have our Google Chromecast device connected to HDMI2. When we want to stream content from our phones or laptops, we switch the TV to HDMI2, and the streaming apps connect automatically. When I try to stream this Microsoft movie (Sorcerer, 1977) to the Chromecast on HDMI2, it says it can't connect. Likewise, just trying to cast it to the TV via HDMI1 does not connect, either. The only other ports available are InputAV1 and InputComponent, neither of which have a device connected, but the movie will not connect or cast to either of those. Please help me to be able to cast this movie from my Surface laptop to my Chromecast (in HDMI2 port on Samsung Smart TV). Also, is there any way I can access the movie on my Samsung S21 smart phone?

If you are using Microsoft Movies and TV it is not compatible with Chromecast as a workaround you can mirror your computer to your tv that should work, for Samsung smart phones I will recommend to contact their support site for more information, curently there is no app for android to watch them.

It's interesting to me that NHL Game center is advertising it as if the app has already been released for xbox one when it has not. I will stream the games from my computer through my chromecast to my tv but I would really love to have the ability to skip
using the chromecast.

I've learned that this particular movie (Sorcerer, 1977) is distributed by Paramount and thus won't play on Movies Anywhere because MA doesn't have a contractual agreement with Paramount.

Therefore, what I really need your help with is how to cast this movie from my Microsoft Surface laptop's Movies & TV app. When I try to cast this movie, it simply will not connect to either the Samsung TV or the Google Chromecast. That's what I need help with. Is there any way I can speak with you on the phone about this? Or otherwise, is there any way you can help me?
