To get the most out of AllCast, you’ll need to purchase the app.
You’ll only be able to stream content for five minutes at a time. Third, the free version of AllCast is limited. If it’s not connected, you won’t be able to use AllCast as intended. Second, the device on the receiving end and your Fire tablet must be connected to the same network. Most users looking to mirror their tablet will be doing so to display content like photos or personal videos, and in that sense, AllCast does the same. Instead, AllCast will allow you to stream photos, videos, music, and more directly to your player, as opposed to just being able to mirror your display.
First, you shouldn’t expect AllCast to directly mirror your device. You can also turn off the screen on your tablet once the video has begun playing. You can scroll through the cast, jump to scenes like a DVD, view trivia about the scene, and more. When you tap on this option, your tablet will load a Second Screen interface that provides additional information on the movie. Unlike Airplay or Chromecast, Amazon’s Second Screen requires you to share an account between both devices. If you aren’t using a Fire TV, and you don’t have the same account linked to both devices, you won’t see this option. Your device will list both the “Watch Now” option, which will play the film or TV show on your tablet, and the “Download” option that stores the film for offline watching.īetween both of these options, you’ll see an icon that reads “Watch on Fire TV/Fire TV Stick,” depending on the device you have plugged into your television. Select any title on your device, and you’ll see the typical options to watch your movie. Then, select the “Store.” This will load your rented, purchased, and Prime-capable films (assuming, of course, that you’re a Prime subscriber) that can be automatically streamed from your device. Head to the home screen on your device and swipe along with the menu until you reach the “Videos” tab.
