WebAirplay

On iPhone you can play any video from Internet on Airplay device. WebAirplay gives you exactly that but on your desktop.

Help Needed!!

• Browser Extension
• Mac OS application loader

Why?

If you would like to watch video from your desktop you can use builtin Airplay functionality and mirror or extend your desktop. Problems with such solution is lower quality and audio delays. In addition you can't use your desktop for other tasks while you are doing that.

For watching movies you can use something like Beamer app.

WebAirplay is alternative to Beamer for streaming online videos like Youtube, Vimeo and others from your desktop to Apple TV.
