The recommended way to cast is to use the FCast Receiver app. This app works on Android, Android TV, MacOS, Windows and Linux. It can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or from here https://fcast.org/. We also support casting to ChromeCast. ChromeCast at the moment is still being improved and it requires proxying streams by your phone (unlike FCast) for any content that has separate video and audio streams. Lastly, we support AirPlay. However, AirPlay does not support the DASH protocol so we do not support playing content with separated video and audio streams to AirPlay devices.
Grayjay does not track you out of the box. For this reason, platforms do not know what content to show you. If you want more personalized content you will need to login to the platforms.
