7plus doesn’t support Chromecast built-in, so we’ll have to use the native casting feature of Android. For iOS , we’ll have to use a third-party application. Finally, for PC, any Chromium-based browser would do the job. Before we proceed, make sure you have the following.

Pre-requisites

  • Both the devices should be on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Ensure the Android and iOS apps are up to date to avoid any incompatibilities. 
  • Desktop browsers should be up to date.

Steps to Cast 7plus to Chromecast

Since the service is available on multiple platforms. So we’ll discuss each of them in detail. 

Cast from PC

You can use any Chromium-based browser to Cast 7plus to Chromecast. We’ll discuss how it can be done in Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The remaining browser will follow similar methods to either of these. 

  1. Open browser on your PC/Laptop.
  2. Visit the official 7plus website and make sure you’re signed in to your account.

    • For Microsoft Edge, click on More tools > Cast media to the device.
  4. Give it some time to scan for available devices.

There are over a dozen of third-party apps that enable casting from an iPhone/iPad. You could check out some of our top picks. We’ll be using an app called Replica to get the job done.

7plus is an Australian exclusive streaming service. The service offers support for popular local channels and shows. We believe they should add support for Chromecast built-in. Especially in a situation in which they’re one of the few companies who have the right to live stream Olympics 2020. Also, Chromecast built-in will enable the user to Cast without compromising their privacy.
