Chromecast support close to hitting Facebook for Android

Chromecast support on Facebook for Android

More and more applications offer, natively, support to send content directly to Google's Chromecast players. This makes it very easy to enjoy, for example, videos on the living room television simply by using the icon that appears in the development interface. Well, it seems that Facebook for Android shortly you will achieve the compatibility we are talking about.

The way in which this information has been known is due to the fact that several users who are registered in the trial version of Facebook for Android have indicated that in the latest version of this development it already includes the aforementioned support to send data to chromecast directly to be able to view the videos using this option, which, as we have mentioned on some occasion, is really simple and of high quality.

As it is possible to see in the image that we leave below, it can be seen that it exists the icon usual to send content to Chromecast (with a drawing of a screen with three lines in the form of a wave). Therefore, this is added to the arrival of Facebook Live, which competes with Periscope and shows that multimedia options are very important for the company.

Facebook interface for Android with Chroemcast support

A regular use

The screenshots that have been published show that the use to send content from the trial version of Facebook for Android to a Google player is the one known to date: click on the icon and then proceed to a search of the chromecast available. At that moment, the desired one is chosen and it automatically begins with the reproduction on the television or monitor with HDMI connection. Nor does it lack the option to control everything that is played and, of course, the volume.

At the moment the official version, the one in the Play Store, does not have the aforementioned compatibility, but it is quite clear as it has been seen that the work is practically finished and the support of Facebook for Android for chromecast it's just a matter of at most weeks. Personally, a really interesting option and that for a long time had to be included in this development. Does it appear to you?
