hey what's up guys Chigz here from
Chigz tech reviews and today I'm going
to show you how to set up and use the LG
TV cast app for your LG smart television
this app is available for both iOS and
Android and I'm going to be using my
iPhone for this video first of all you
get your LG remote out and you click on
the smart bar so that's the smart button
you click the small button and you'll
get a similar screen to this and you
have to install this app I've already
installed it but I'll show you how to
get there so if you go to smart world
and click okay so these are all the apps
available to install right now on your
Smart TV so just go to TV cast which is
there in the top corner that's the app
we're going to be using press ok okay so
where it says launch here for you it
will say install so go ahead and install
that and once you've installed it it
will take less than a minute to install
it's a very small app then you click
Launch okay so you've got the app open
in the background you can see it says
not connected and also in the top left
hand corner I've covered it with a piece
of paper
you've got your IP address written there
now go to the App Store on your iPhone
so open the App Store click on search
type in LG TV cost and search
okay I've already downloaded it it's
free it's a free app but there is a
there is a paid version for more
features I have gone for the paid
version as well but I'll show you the
free version in this video to begin with
so install the app like you would
normally would and there you can see
here's the free version and here's the
paid version so I've got I've got both
I'll show you the differences as well so
if I open the free version first okay it
gives you some instructions there to
connect to your LG television what you
do is click on the top right hand corner
icon over here and that will show you a
box of instructions it will also say
that same IP address behind where my
finger is now all you've got to do is
match those two IPS up and you can do
that with your remote control so all you
do is is press left and right and it
will take you to each number and all you
do is match it to to the number that's
written on this iPhone here so I'll
quickly do that I've just matched the
two IPS that are written on both screens
and now you can see on the left on the
television it says connected in blue and
all I did was used of up and down
buttons on the remote and left and right
to change the numbers on the top left IP
okay so now that we're connected let me
show you what you can do with it so
here's your iPhone click on menu click
on videos ok so on the free version you
can only use the last three videos in
your camera roll if you upgrade which I
have done then there's no restrictions
there's there are a lot of benefits of
upgrading and you can let me just play
this video and then I'll go through them
so you can just click cast now in this
video you will see in the background you
can see a loading there you go so that's
my personal videos on my camera roll and
I just played it on the big screen I can
press ok to go in full screen and press
ok again to exit you can rewind and
forward with your usual rewind forward
buttons pause I just paused it so there
you go
while you're watching a video you no
longer need to be connected to this app
you can close the app you can even put
your phone on standby it and put the
phone away all the controls can be done
from this now and you can see the link
at the bottom it will remember this
video so even if you come out of the app
and you go back in you can press play
and it will continue playing this video
that you last cast it it will remember
and let's quickly show you how to cast
online videos so you have your usual
page this is your start up you can click
on the pen and pad and you can open any
website you like okay but if I just go
to my bookmarks because I got something
ready for this video so if I just click
on one of my videos this is just my own
YouTube video just play the video like
you're going to watch it on your phone
and you'll get a message to cast it so
when the video starts the first two
three seconds then it says cast now you
can read that if you like or just click
cast now and that will bring it behind
on the screen you'll see it load there
you go so again don't need the app don't
need the phone anymore and you can watch
this video you can watch this video at
your leisure
fullscreen okay so that's really it
that's what the app does so that's the
LG TV cast app for your LG smart
television I'll put the details on my
television the model number etc in the
link description and in the description
here it says it will work on Samsung and
LG televisions it's a fantastic app it's
got a lot of options it allows you to
watch any online content and send it
straight to your television or you can
watch your own videos okay you can't do
photographs
it's just video casting so you can only
cast videos to to your television if I
quickly go through two settings on the
free option you will see what's
available almost not so changing user
agent to desktop is not allowed in the
free version add a blocker won't work in
the free version enable or disable auto
lock won't work in the free version so
there's a few things that it's worth
upgrading for videos and you can only
call
last the last three of your videos so if
you got some old videos that you wanted
to cause you one better to do in the
free version give it a try
see how you feel you've got nothing to
lose it's a fantastic app it's very
useful so the premium version is 399
that's what I went for
and it's very so it's worth it I use it
a lot then you've got all these other
options here if you wanted to
individually unlock something so you
have more options okay so that's the
video in TV cast app for the LG Smart TV
and I hope I helped someone out there
thanks for watching
you
