How to Stream Video from VLC to Chromecast – MP4, MKV – Mac, Windows
VLC is a media player that you can use on your computer, but it's also a convenient way to send videos and music to your Chromecast. Using VLC with Chromecast, you can share almost any media file with your TV in seconds.
Maybe you want to play iTunes on your TV, throw some home movies on the big screen in the living room, or stream something live via VLC and beam it to your HDTV. Whatever the reason, VLC makes it incredibly easy to connect your computer to your Chromecast.
Step 1: Download and install VLC. If you already have it, make sure it is version 3 or later, as this is when Chromecast functionality was added.
