How do I use Chromecast with Glo?

You can use Chromecast with Chromecast-enabled TVs or TVs that have a Chromecast device plugged in. Here’s how you can cast Glo classes from your desktop, Android, or iOS device:

Desktop (Chrome Browser):

  1. Open the Chrome browser on your MacBook or PC and play a Glo class.
    • Option 1: Look for the cast icon Active cast extension in the lower-right corner of the video screen and click it.
    • Option 2: Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of the browser to open the menu. Select “Cast...” from the drop-down options.
  2. Select the device you want to cast to, and the class will begin playing on your TV.

Android:

  1. Open the Chrome app or the Glo Android app and play a class.
  2. Look for the cast icon Active cast extension in the lower-right corner of the video screen (in the Chrome app) or the upper-right corner of the video screen (in the Glo app).
  3. Tap the cast icon Active cast extension and select the device you want to cast to.

iOS:

  1. Open the Glo iOS app and navigate to the class page.
  2. Before you hit play, tap the cast icon Active cast extension in the upper-right corner of the class page. Note: This is different from other devices; the cast option is available before the class starts.
  3. Select the device you want to cast to, and the class will begin playing on your TV.

Troubleshooting Common Chromecast Issues:

  • Ensure all devices are on the same network: Your phone, tablet, and TV must be connected to the same WiFi network. If your TV uses a WiFi extender or other connection, ensure your phone/tablet is also connected to that network.
  • Use Chrome on your Android device: If Chromecast doesn’t work from the Glo Android app, try using the Chrome app instead.
  • Switch to a desktop browser: If you’re having trouble on iOS, try casting from Chrome on a desktop browser like MacBook or PC.
  • Fix a grey screen issue: On Chrome desktop, use the cast option in the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the browser.
