Apps that have on-screen volume controls seem to work fine. YouMap taps into the existing Google Cast buttons in apps such as CBS (left) and Pandora (right).Ī couple other quirks worth mentioning: YouMap doesn’t support controlling volume with your phone or tablet’s hardware buttons, as some apps do with Chromecast. Just look for “Fire TV” in the Cast menu from Netflix’s iOS and Android apps. While YouMap doesn’t work with Netflix, that’s a non-issue for Fire TV users Netflix already supports casting to Amazon’s media streamer out of the box.

Here’s a list of apps that ran successfully when casting from my iPhone 6 Plus: Still, I was pleasantly surprised by how many apps did work. YouTube, Twitch, Pluto.TV, and Watch Food Network wouldn’t even show YouMap in the Cast menu, and Crunchyroll failed to connect with the Fire TV. With HBO Go, Google Play Movies & TV, and Hulu, I received error messages saying they couldn’t load licensed or protected content. There’s just one catch: YouMap doesn’t work with video apps that use digital rights management (DRM).

YouMap supports mirroring Chrome browser tabs on video sites like.
