Hi all,

I’ve used Chromecast for basically all my TV needs forever, my Sony has Android TV but it’s ridiculously slow, freezes, and is frustrating to use. I’m interested in Apple TV because it seems to be the smoothest experience compared to Roku or other Google options.

Right now, half the time I’ll use the dedicated apps on my TV and the other I’ll be watching something on my Macbook or iPhone and want to send it to the screen from say Youtube.

Does the “cast” or more specifically “play on TV” button work with AppleTV? Or does the app need to be open, etc?

I use Chrome on Mac so Airplay isn’t really an option I don’t believe.
