Google Cast is Google's casting protocol and platform for sending video and music from a smartphone or browser to a receiving device such as a TV or speaker for playback. The sending device passes only playback commands and media information, and the receiving device (Chromecast, Android TV, etc.) fetches the content directly from the internet and plays it, which differs from Miracast, which transmits the entire screen. App developers build sender apps and receiver web apps with the Cast SDK, and devices are discovered via mDNS.
