You've been at school all day and can't wait to get home to see another episode of your favorite anime on Crunchyroll. It can be one of the classics of the 90s or a new one that is taking the hearts and minds of Our team by storm. Whatever you want, you understand that viewing them on your smartphone screen is not enough.
If you also have a Samsung Smart TV and a good connection, you can enjoy an incredible viewing experience. Read on for more information on how to do this.
Smart TV use smarter
Crunchyroll has ended support for its former Samsung TV app, leaving many viewers saddened by the decision. And while that means you have to take a few extra steps to get this to work, it can. The old principle is that if all else fails, go back to basics.
This doubles for applications like this, which may eventually launch their course. However, this is not the end of the world. The easiest way to start watching Crunchyroll on your TV is to find the right HDMI cable and connect your Samsung Smart TV to your laptop or PC.
Once connected, you can stream the show from your laptop or computer monitor to the stunning 4K screen of your Smart TV. If you have a premium Crunchyroll membership this will come in handy because you'll be able to make the most of the higher resolution.
Alternatively, if your phone supports casting to TV devices, you can try casting Crunchyroll content from it to your TV. However, this method is not always reliable as it depends on the real phone and whether it supports casting or not.
Chromecast option
Finally, if you have a Chromecast device (this depends on your region, as it is not supported or sold in every country in the world), you can also try and use it to cast Crunchyroll to your TV. Go to your Crunchyroll app and click the Cast button. Your phone will then try to find the Chromecast. Once that happens, choose the device you want to play the next episode of your favorite anime on, and voila!
Another option for those using Chromecast is you can stream your shows directly from your browser. However, this will require going to the Crunchyroll website and logging into your account.
Once you're logged in, find the show you want to watch and click on the three-dot menu in the top left corner and look for the 'Cast' option. And then click on Cast Desktop. When you find the Chromecast you want, select it and soon the stream will start on your desktop and also appear on your TV.
Crunchyroll, support your app!
All in all, it's a shame that there is currently no official way to use the official Smart TV casting app. However, there are always fake options like the ones featured in this article to help you satisfy your hunger for high-definition shows! After all, why not use everything at your disposal to make sure you get everything from your Crunchyroll subscription?
As always, feel free to share your suggestions and opinions on the Crunchyroll app. Hopefully, over time, the developers can change their minds or find another way to allow those with Smart TVs to watch the anime in high quality on the big screen.
