FAQs
Is casting available on web, tablet, and phone?
Yes. Since this feature generates a link, it can be opened in any web browser and is compatible with all screen sizes.
On web, once a workout is cast, does the user need a dedicated PC or Mac to mirror onto a screen?
No. After the tab is cast, you can continue using your PC or Mac for other tasks. It's helpful to turn on Autoplay to have the workout advance through pages automatically
On tablet, once a workout is cast, does the user need a dedicated PC or Mac to mirror onto a screen?
On tablet, the only option is screen mirroring (via AirPlay or the Google Home app). Because the entire screen is mirrored, you won’t be able to use the tablet for other tasks while casting.
Will devices go to sleep while casting?
This usually does not happen. If your device does begin to sleep, adjust your sleep settings to Never Sleep or to a longer duration while casting.Still have questions? Reach out to us at support@bridgeathletic.com.
