How do I watch videos on my television?
đź’ˇDoes your smart TV or device have a built in internet app available? If so, there is no need to cast. You can use the internet browser to login at app.heatherrobertson.com
Before you start:
- Ensure your Smart TV has Airplay or Chromcast capabilities or that you have an external casting device connected to the TV
- Be sure your TV’s casting features have been enabled. You can often find these in the setting menus.
- Connect your device (phone, tablet, laptop) to the same wifi as your TV or streaming device. You cannot use cellular data.
- You should see one of the two icons at the bottom of the workout video screen. This will let you know what type of casting your device is ready for.
- Select the icon and choose the device you would like to cast to
- Press play to start your video
If you do not see a cast/airplay icon at the bottom of the video screen in the app, you do not have two compatible devices activated. Head here for more troubleshooting tips
⚠️ If your device goes to a locked screen during casting or mirroring, the video playback may disconnect. To avoid being disconnected, be sure to turn off auto screen lock or sleep settings.
See the articles for Roku and Firestick for more support on casting to these devices.
If you do not have a smart TV or casting device (Roku, Firestick, etc):
You can use a hard-wired option by purchasing a cable that will connect your device directly into your TV’s HDMI input.
