WhatsApp is one of the most used social media platforms, and it has billions of users from all around the world. Since it is a cross-platform messaging app, you can use WhatsApp to send a text message, document, audio, or video call with other WhatsApp users for free. Since the application does not have the built-in Chromecast feature, you need to access the Screen Mirroring feature to cast the content from the smartphone and PC to the Google Smart TV.

By using the Screen Mirroring feature, you can also cast WhatsApp video calls to the big screen. From this article, you will learn how to Chromecast WhatsApp from your smartphone and PC to the Google Smart TV.
