An innovative service that meets a real need
- On-demand streaming has become standard practice, and for a majority of viewers, not having access to it has become inconvenient. That's why video streaming applications are a phenomenal success.
- Content is in our pocket, accessible at all times: BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Youtube, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, etc.
What is Chromecast?
Chromecast is a real-time media player developed by Google.
- It takes the form of a small "key" connected to WiFi and plugged into a TV's HDMI port.
- It lets you easily stream content from your mobile/tablet/computer screen to your TV in HD quality.
Chromecast is the most universal streaming solution on the market, supporting thousands of applications from all operating systems: video streaming, audio streaming and even video games.
Chromecast challenges in hospitality environments
Chromecast is a product originally designed for the general public. To offer Chromecast services in a hotel or residence (in a collective WiFi environment), the operator faces two major challenges:
- Ergonomics: offer a simple, intuitive solution for service users.
- Technical challenge: create a "0 risk" solution in terms of security (to be sure not to "cast" content onto the neighbour's TV, either inadvertently or maliciously).
