GoogleCast

Options for the Google Cast extension that configures the receiver and load request

Adds the Google Cast extension to the player’s media. It renders nothing — place it inside the player as a sibling of the media element, and pair it with a CastButton. See Cast to AirPlay and Chromecast for the complete setup.

Import

pnpm add @videojs/react @videojs/google-cast

Options

Prop	Type	Description
`receiver`	`string`	Cast receiver application ID. Defaults to Google’s Default Media Receiver (`CC1AD845`)
`src`	`string`	Source URL loaded on the receiver. Defaults to the source the browser is playing
`contentType`	`string`	MIME type of the Cast source. When unset, the receiver infers it from the URL
`streamType`	`'on-demand' \| 'live'`	Stream type reported to the receiver. Falls back to the player’s stream type
`customData`	`object`	Custom data sent to the receiver with each load request

When the Cast src is an HLS playlist, Video.js detects the segment format and sets the receiver’s hlsSegmentFormat and hlsVideoSegmentFormat load-request fields. The Default Media Receiver plays HLS natively, so no extra receiver setup is needed.
