How can I stream custom TV apps like Yacine TV APK on Google Nest Hub?

[gracemiller84]

 Hey everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with different ways to stream regional TV channels and live sports on my smart home setup. I recently came across an app called Yacine TV APK, which lets you watch various live channels directly from Android devices.

I’m curious — has anyone here managed to cast or integrate third-party streaming apps like this with a Google Nest Hub or Chromecast setup? I’d love to know what methods or settings worked best for you.

For reference, here’s the app I’m talking about: Yacine TV APK site

Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙌

I’ve tried something similar with other APK-based streaming apps.
Unfortunately, Google Nest Hub doesn’t natively support installing third-party APKs. However, if you have a Chromecast-enabled TV or dongle, you can simply cast your Android phone’s screen while running Yacine TV APK — it works smoothly for most channels.

Just make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, and casting permissions are enabled in the Google Home app

Yeah, I’ve tested Yacine TV APK too — works great when casting from Android! 👌
You just can’t install it directly on Nest devices because they run a modified system. I usually use it on my phone and then cast to my Chromecast Ultra — no buffering issues so far.

If you’re looking for a guide, the one on Yacine TV APK’s official site actually explains the setup steps pretty clearly.

Most third-party APK apps don’t support native casting on the Nest Hub, so they usually don’t appear as a direct option. Android’s built-in Cast Screen feature is the simplest workaround. I’ve seen the same method work while checking a KissKh streaming guide here: https://kisskhinfo.app
— and it stays within normal device rules.
