You can cast CIFF46 Streams films and shorts programs to a 3rd generation or newer Chromecast stick.
We assume the Chromecast device is already set up.
To Chromecast from a laptop, computer, or Android smartphone or tablet:
- Make sure your Chromecast device is on the same Wi-fi network as your mobile device, connected to your TV, and that the correct input is selected for the Chromecast device.
- On your laptop, computer, or Android smartphone or tablet and from the most updated version of the Google Chrome browser, pull up the CIFF Ticket Order Confirmation or Streaming Access Notification email that contains your Streaming Access Code for that film or shorts program.
- Click on the “WATCH ONLINE” link from the email. You will be redirected to the film or shorts program's landing page on the CIFF Streams platform.
- Click the “Play” button to open the player and start the film or shorts program.
- In the bottom right-hand corner of the player, click the Chromecast icon and choose the Chromecast device to cast to your TV. If the icon doesn't appear, unfortunately casting is not supported on your device.
- The player should now appear on your TV. For an optimal viewing experience, click the square box in the bottom right corner of the player to expand to full screen.
