Chromecast for advertising

[ErikDeLaSelva]

Hi, I would like to duplicate my screen in twenty different TV's spread around my store, but I have the question.

Is this possible? Is there a maximum of chromecast that can be connected to a computer?

Thanks in advance,

Erik Nja

That is not possible.

You can only cast to ONE Chromecast device at a time.    Chromecast does not support a multi-display environment like you want.

You would only be able to send your screen to ONE Chromecast.

If you are sending static information, some people have worked around this by creating an album of pictures (of what they want to display) in Google Photos and then setting their Chromecasts to use those pictures as the screen saver in Ambient Mode:

But, they will NOT be in sync.  Each Chromecast will display what it wants when it wants.

Okay, I get it.

Another question. Is the ambient mode able to reproduce videos? That way, I can show the advertise I am looking to show.

I think I can use the ambient mode to do what I am looking for, cause I don't find other options for that
