stretchmirror

StretchMirror is an Android application that securely mirrors content from an Android device to a Google Chromecast or other devices that support the Chromecast built-in (CBI) technology. Developed by Google, the application is part of the Google Home companion suite, which includes other apps such as Google Home and Google News.

StretchMirror allows Android users to mirror their device's screen, extend their desktop, or use their phone as a remote control for their TV or other CBI-enabled devices. The app makes it possible to receive content from the Android device, such as videos, images, and web pages, on a larger screen.

Users can install the StretchMirror app on their Android device, which will then appear as a new device in the Chromecast settings. The Chromecast will receive the content from the Android device and display it on the connected television or other display. Another key feature of StretchMirror is its ability to mirror content from any Android app, including those that might not be CBI-enabled.

The StretchMirror app supports multiple Android 5 and above devices, and is compatible with most CBI-enabled receivers. Additionally, the application is fully secured, allowing users to specify the types of content they would like to mirror and restricting access to those they trust. This combination of features and the ability to extend Android device capabilities make StretchMirror a popular tool for users looking to enhance their entertainment experience.
