gibeon.io / Players / Chromecast

Chromecast

A Chromecast with Google TV plays gibeon.io directly, with the app from the Play Store. An older Chromecast without Google TV can do it too: you cast a tab from Chrome on a computer.

Older Chromecast, without Google TV

An older Chromecast does not run apps. You cast p.gibeon.io from Chrome on a computer. The computer has to stay on.

Open p.gibeon.io in Chrome
On a computer on the same network as the Chromecast.
Cast the tab
In the Chrome menu choose Cast and pick your Chromecast. The activation code now shows on the TV.
Link the screen
Enter the code at app.gibeon.io.
Keep the computer on
If the computer shuts down or goes to sleep, the screen stops. So turn sleep off.

When does this fit best?

A Chromecast with Google TV suits a permanent screen. An older Chromecast suits a test or temporary use, because it needs a computer.
