Key Highlights
- Before casting, connect your Chromecast device and mobile/desktop to the same WiFi network.
- Mobile: Launch the Vimeo app on your smartphone, tap the Cast icon and choose the Chromecast device.
- Desktop: The desktop version of Vimeo doesn’t have Chromecast support. Therefore, you can cast the video using the cast feature on the browser.
There are plenty of platforms available to create videos for personal and business purposes. One of the best apps among them is Vimeo. Vimeo packs several features, including video creation, live streaming, screen recording, hosting, and more. Instead of creating short videos on Instagram with built-in features, you can opt for Vimeo to create videos, which has pro-editing controls and templates. Another big advantage of using Vimeo is its built-in Chromecast support. Therefore, if you like to watch videos on a big screen you have created, you can easily cast the screen from your device to your TV and watch videos with your friends and family seamlessly without interruption.
