About VidBeam: Cast Web Videos to TV
VidBeam is a web browser that finds the video in a page and plays it on your TV. Open a page with a video, tap the video, and it plays on the big screen in its own quality. It is not screen mirroring: your iPhone is free to browse, chat or lock while the TV keeps playing. HOW IT WORKS - Browse any site in VidBeam, just like Safari. - VidBeam finds the video streams in the page (HLS and MP4) and lists them, the main video first and short clips last. - Tap the video you want and it goes to the TV. One list of TVs: AirPlay 2 and Google Cast together, so you do not have to know which one your TV speaks. - Pick your TV before you start browsing, and it will be ready when the match is. MADE FOR LONG WATCHING - Keeps playing with the phone locked, with controls on the Lock Screen. - Live streams: one tap jumps back to live. - Switch tabs, open other pages, or close the page: the TV keeps playing. - If the link expires in the middle of a match, VidBeam quietly fetches a fresh one and carries on. - Sites that only answer your phone still reach the TV: VidBeam passes the video through your iPhone, and says so before it does. MATCH REMINDERS - Follow your teams or leagues: their next matches show on the start page. - Schedules for soccer, basketball, football, hockey and racing. - A reminder before kick-off, as early as you like. Add your own reminders for anything else. - Reminders are free, on every plan. A CLEAN BROWSER - Tabs, bookmarks and history. - Blocks pop-ups that pages open on their own. - Light and dark mode. NO ACCOUNT - No sign-up. Bookmarks, history and sign-ins stay on your iPhone. VIDBEAM PRO Your first week includes VidBeam Pro for free, with no subscription: no ads, and most ads hidden on web pages.

What’s new
Version 1.4 · Updated October 29, 2026
Match reminders now show the kick-off time, so a reminder read late is still right. If a video stops on your TV while VidBeam is in the background, you get a notification, and coming back opens the TV list so it is one tap from the TV again. Ads are quieter: no ad when you return to the app, sound off while a video plays on the TV, and the match resumes on its own after an ad. Or watch one short ad for 3 hours without ads.
