How to Use Google® Chromecast on the Peloton Android® App
You can view Peloton content on your TV by using our Android® app and a Google® Chromecast device or connected TV. To get started, just following the following steps:
- Begin any video workout class in the Android® app.
- Tap the Google® Chromecast icon on the bottom right portion of the screen.
- You can then select the TV you would like to stream your workout to - just make sure that your App and the Google® Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network.
While casting, actions taken on your Android® device will not interrupt your workout. This means you can turn your Android® device’s screen off as well as interact with phone calls or other apps.
To stop casting just tap the Google® Chromecast icon on your Android® app again. This will bring up a modal where you can select “Stop Casting”. Additionally, you can use this menu to control the TV volume and pause your on-demand class.
Please see the screenshots below for a walkthrough of the feature:
