SplitCast

SplitCast

Split your screen and stream multiple tabs at once to your Chromecast Device

What is SplitCast?
SplitCast is a unique Chrome extension designed to increase your multimedia experience. It lets you display two or more websites in a single tab and stream them directly to your Chromecast device. With a plethora of features such as the ability to resize each window, automatic memory of settings, customizable screen layouts, and more, users can significantly enhance their browsing and casting. However, due to iFrame technology limitations, some websites might have framing restrictions or not function altogether. Despite this, SplitCast remains a free, versatile, and valuable tool for all Chromecast users.

Unfortunately it's not the most user friendly. It definitely works better than some of the other apps on here. It's a little hard to resize the screen. For example on one of my tabs I was trying to watch YouTube video full screen and I don't know if it has to do with the fact that block it was in was not big enough. In any case its definitely a decent option for people who want their screen to be split

It just works perfectly!!! I need to use iFrames for mixed HTTPS and HTTP content and it is the only solution that fits my case. It's a very specific case but I'm glad that someone did this extension. Thank you!
