You’ve signed up for our Beachbody on Demand digital workout platform and are now ready to transfer your workouts to your TV. Chromecast is one of the possible options to do this in a very simple and effective way: it’s what I use myself at home. In this article, we explain to you, step by step, how to get started with Chromecast. If you are not sure whether you should use Chromecast or another option, we invite you to first read our article which explains all the possibilities by clicking here: BEACHBODY ON DEMAND ON TV .
Purchasing Chromecast
You can get Chromecast at a big box store, such as Best Buy or Walmart, for around $45.
Configure Chromecast
This step is to be done only the first time, when you have just obtained your Chromecast key. Indeed, it must be configured in order to connect it to your wireless internet network in your home. This procedure differs slightly from device to device (Apple or Android device).
Step 1 : Connect the chromecast to an HDMI input on your TV. Plug the other wire into an electrical outlet or a USB input on your television.
Step 2 : Open the TV and choose the source the Chromecast is plugged into.
Step 3 : Find the Google Home app on your mobile device (cellphone or tablet). This is what the logo looks like:
Step 4 : Follow the instructions on the box of your Chromecast purchase or on the Chromecast website, which clearly explains, step by step, how to configure everything. Click here to go to the website: CONFIGURE CHROMECAST .
- Under the “Choose your Chromecast” section, click “Chromcast and Chromecast Ultra”.
- Then choose your device: Android phone or tablet or ios phone or tablet (Iphone or Ipad).
- Follow the steps.
Step 5 : Now that Chromecast is set up, you can use it with all compatible apps. As soon as you see this Chromecast symbol below, you can “cast” the video to your TV.
Use Chromecast with Beachbody on Demand
The way to cast (“cast”) your Beachbody on Demand (BOD) sessions to your TV is different depending on the device you are using. We therefore explain how to do it according to your device.
With an iPhone or an iPad
The Beachbody on Demand app is Chromecast compatible, which makes casting a session to your TV super quick and easy.
Step 1 : Download the free Beachbody on Demand app from the Apple Store.
This step only needs to be done once. Once you have your application in your device, you go directly to step 2.
