If you have a Sky TV subscription, you can stream on-demand and live TV channels on Sky Go for free. Unfortunately, the Sky Go app lacks cast support. So you need to screen mirror the entire smartphone to cast the Sky Go content. The Android devices can be screen mirrored directly from the notification pane, whereas iPhone/iPad requires the help of third-party apps.
On Windows and Mac, you can use Chrome or Edge browser to cast the channels from the Sky Go desktop app. From this article, you will learn the possible ways to cast the Sky Go app from your smartphone to Chromecast-compatible TVs.
Note – The following guide applies to Smart TVs with built-in Chromecast support.
Prerequisites:
- Connect your Chromecast to a WiFi network. On the other hand, connect the casting device to the same WiFi.
- Ensure that the Sky Go app on your smartphone is updated and running on the latest version. While using a PC, keep the web browser updated.
- For error-free casting, update the Chromecast firmware to the latest version.
