Chromecast Support (Finally) Comes To Vimeo On iOS

Consuming video on your mobile device is awesome, but sometimes you want more. Some videos just need to be seen on the bigger screen. If you happen to be on the couch, the TV might appear to be mocking you with it's big display, which is just meant for video. Today, Vimeo is announcing they're about to bridge that gap for iOS users. Via an update to their app, available for iPhone and iPad, Vimeo viewers will now be able to Chromecast their favorite videos!

The feature is as easy to use as you'd expect, too. Choose a video you want to watch, and once you're in full-screen viewing mode, just fling it to your TV via that familiar little TV icon in the top right of your screen.

While the video is playing, you can continue to search for what's next, too.

Though the update is iOS only, Vimeo says that's simply due to demand. They see a lot more iOS users than Android, so they're taking care of their core audience first.

We first told you about Vimeo's plans to support Chromecast in December of last year. At the time, the company was adamant about Chromecast being part of a future update, but wasn't able to comment on when that might be.

The company also reworked their mobile site recently, and began actively producing original content.

The Chromecast-ready Vimeo is available for free in the App Store, and the update is rolling out to existing users now.
