Why does streaming from my phone still work when I’m gone

238 viewsOtherTechnology

I’ll often stream a movie or show from a streaming app on my phone and cast it to my tv. But sometimes I’ll leave to go run an errand and take my phone while my family is still watching. How does it keep streaming when I’m gone?

For Chromecast and similar setups, when you press “cast”, unless the application needs to mirror your device screen (such as if you’re sharing your entire screen), it’s just telling the streaming device where to pull content from. After that point, the device that started the cast doesn’t need to be connected except for media controls.
