VideoJS Chromecast Plugin

Displays a Chromecast button in the control bar. The button is only shown if the Google Cast extension is installed and a Chromecast is currently available.

Getting started

NOTE: The Chromecast Plugin won't work if you open the index.html in the browser. It must run on a webserver.

  1. Add data-cast-api-enabled="true" in your <html> Tag.
  2. Include videojs.chromecast.css and videojs.chromecast.js in the <head>.
  3. Initialize the VideoJS Player with the Chromecast Plugin like the configuration example.
  4. When a Chromecast is available in your network, you should see the cast button in the controlbar.

If you are not able to configure the player, check out the demo directory.

Configuration example

videojs("my_player_id", {
  plugins: {
    chromecast: {
      appId: "AppID of your Chromecast App",
      metadata: {
        title: "Title",
        subtitle: "Subtitle"
      }
    }
  }
});
