LG webOS explained
LG webOS is an operating system developed by LG Electronics specifically for their Smart TVs. It is a version of webOS, originally developed by Palm, Inc. for mobile devices and later acquired and adapted by LG for their TV lineup. It is designed to provide a user-friendly and intuitive interface for accessing various features, apps, and content on LG Smart TVs. Important features of webOS are:
App Store: LG Smart TVs have their own app store where users can browse and download a variety of applications. Popular streaming services like Netflix and YouTube are typically available, along with other utility apps and games.
Web Browser: LG Smart TVs come with a built-in web browser, allowing users to surf the internet directly on their television screens.
It's important to note that LG offers different models of Smart TVs with varying features, some of them with the older Netcast platform that lacks some features of webOS. The specific features and capabilities may differ depending on the model and the year of release.

My LG TV has Screen Share and AirPlay. Why use Video & TV Cast?
Screen Share mirrors your whole phone screen, so the phone must stay on the video. AirPlay only works from Apple devices and only on newer LG TVs. Video & TV Cast sends only the video, works from Android and iPhone, and also works on older LG TVs.
Why is there no video link below the browser?
Start the video in the browser first. Some websites only load the video file when it plays. Then the video link shows up and you can tap it to cast.
Can I cast Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+?
No. These services protect their videos with DRM, so no casting app can send them. Use the Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+ app on your LG TV instead.
Can I cast my own videos and photos?
Yes. Video & TV Cast also sends videos and photos from your phone or tablet to the LG TV. The free version casts some of your own media, Premium makes it unlimited.
