If you’ve become fed up with watching serious DOTA2 tournaments or giggling away at a pair of goldfish trying to kill each other in Street Fighter 2 through your tiny little smartphone or cumbersome laptop, your suffering is over! Today Twitch have announced that they’ve launched Twitch for Chromecast, which will today be rolling out to Android and iOS version of the Twitch app, and added in support on the Twitch website proper. You’ll also need one of Google’s little wonder boxes plugged into the back of your telly, of course.
Once you’ve updated your smartphone OS of choice or simply punched in the URL, you’ll need to navigate to the stream you want to watch. Handy, considering that the company recently gave the mobile app a much needed facelift to make streams easier to find. Then hit the distinctive ‘cast’ button within the video player, or on the browser toolbar, and you’re away to go! Your little ChromeCast box will pick up the stream, and you’ll be ready to call up your friends to relax around the living room and watch those fishies duke it out on the big screen. You’ll also be able to use your phone as a remote control, letting you pause, and rewind playback. Ah, the future.
