Although Apple TV is compatible with Chromecast, using these two streaming services and devices together is a bit tricky. The Apple TV app can only cast content via AirPlay, not Chromecast, while Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra devices are made to receive video casts from a phone or computer.

How to Chromecast Apple TV Using Edge Browser?
You can cast content directly from Microsoft Edge to Google smart devices like Chromecast because Edge is constructed on top of Chromium, just like Google Chrome.
If you are tired of using Safari, Microsoft Edge is a welcome change since it is also available for macOS, iOS, and iPad OS. In the past, I wouldn’t have advised it, but Microsoft did an excellent job creating the new edge, and it supports all of the extensions you use with Google Chrome as well.
To cast Apple TV to your Chromecast using Edge, do the following:
- Activate Chromecast as the input source on your TV before turning it on.
- Open Edge, visit TV.Apple.com, and log in using your Apple TV login information.
- Open the program you want to Chromecast by hovering over it.
- When the video starts playing, right-click > “Cast media to device”.
- Make sure you choose the “Cast tab” under sources and click on your selected Chromecast device.
That is how you can Chromecast Apple TV+ shows using Edge on Windows or macOS computers.
