The Google Cast Design Checklist is provided to make the Cast user experience simple and predictable across all supported platforms. The Cast SDK provides you with the necessary UI components based on the Google Cast Design Checklist. The Google Cast SDK allows your app to control Google Cast enabled devices (for example, a TV or sound system). Users can then use their mobile device or desktop Chrome Browser as a remote control for media playback on the TV. Google Cast allows users to cast content from a mobile device to a TV. This codelab will teach you how to build a Custom Web Receiver app to play content on Cast-enabled devices.
