Zwift is a virtual training tool for cycling, running, and triathlon. It takes you around the world in a virtual gaming format rather than live pre-recorded videos. It offers you more than 1000s of workouts and training programs from world-class trainers. With this, you can make your fitness schedule and keep yourself fit and healthy. You can also communicate with other Zwifters even when you’re not riding. The following guide will show the necessary steps to install and use Zwift on the newly launched Chromecast with Google TV.
Generally, Chromecast with Google TV runs on ARMv7 (64-bit), and the Zwift application is only downloadable on devices running ARMv8 (64-bit). So you can’t install this app on Google TV officially.
Subscription Plan: $14.99/month
