Can You Watch Apple TV on Chromecast?

You can watch Apple TV on Chromecast, but this particular combination of streaming service and streaming device is a little complicated. Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra devices are designed to receive a video cast from a phone or computer, and the Apple TV app is only designed to cast via AirPlay, not Chromecast. If you want to watch Apple TV on a Chromecast, you need to cast from the Chrome browser instead of the Apple TV app. The Chrome browser has the built-in ability to cast compatible websites to Chromecast devices, and the Apple TV web player can be cast in this manner.

How to Get Apple TV on Chromecast With Google TV

Chromecast with Google TV is different from previous Chromecast devices. Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra are both designed to be used with a media source, like a phone, tablet, or computer, that sends video and audio to the Chromecast wirelessly. The Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra itself isn’t capable of streaming anything by itself and always needs to receive video or audio from another device. Chromecast with Google TV is similar to other streaming devices like Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV in that it’s capable of running apps and streaming video and audio on its own without the help of a phone or computer. If you want to get Apple TV on a Chromecast with Google TV, you need to download and install the app.
