The SBS On Demand website supports casting across all browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.
To cast a video from your laptop or computer, you will first need to ensure that both devices, that being your computer/laptop & Chromecast device are connected to the same network.
You'll then need to:
- Head to the SBS On Demand website.
- Select a program that you would like to watch and
- Click on the "cast icon" which will appear in the top right-hand corner of the video player.
Your Chromecast device should appear under: "Cast to a device".
Select your device to begin casting.
A "SBS On Demand. A world of difference" splash screen will appear on your TV. The system will take roughly 10-15 seconds to establish a connection with your device and will automatically mirror or cast the content on our website directly onto your TV.
The program screen on your laptop or computer will then change to a new interface with the program's details.
On this menu you can: pause and restart the video, fast-forward and rewind the video, manually scrub forwards and backwards, and disable or enable closed captions via the subtitle icon in the bottom right hand corner.
To stop casting, simply click on the "cast icon" that is appearing with your device's details and select: "Stop Casting" via the cast panel which will automatically reopen in the top right hand corner of your screen.
