The classic version of QuickTime is available for Windows Vista and later, as well as Mac OS X Leopard and later operating systems. A more recent version, QuickTime X, is currently available on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer. If you have a MacBook Air 2016, you can install a QuickTime on it for playing videos (mostly MP4). But according to our searching, we found many users have the issues in playing Play MP4 with QuickTime (on MacBook Air 2016):

You can "cast" content from Netflix or YouTube by clicking on the Chromecast icon at the top right-hand corner of both apps and selecting the Chromecast option.

 Option two: Watching local movies/TV shows stored in iPhone 7/SE/6S/6

You may stored many amazing movies/TV shows in your iPhone 7/SE/6S/6, but the disappointing things is that not all the formats of the videos are supported by Chromecast. The default Chromecast video formats are MP4 and WebM. It also supports MPEG-DASH, Smooth Streaming, and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) video files. All other video formats are unsupported. 

 For the supported movies/TV shows in iPhone 7/SE/6S/6, you just directly stream them to Chromecast and for smooth playback.

Method one. Fast and Easy: Videostream for Google Chromecast

We've been impressed with Videostream for Google Chromecast. It’s a Chrome app and you can use it for free. You’ll have to pay $0.99 if you want playlist support, but everything else is currently free.

Install it from the Chrome Web Store and launch it. After you do, you’ll be able to pick a local video file on your computer and select the Chromecast you want to stream to. Your Chromecast will stream the video from your computer without the graphical issues and stuttering that occur when using the tab-casting feature.

MP4 is the most efficient file type you can use, as it’s supported by the Chromecast natively. But Videostream actually supports practically any media file type. If necessary, Videostream will automatically transcode the file as it streams it to your Chromecast.



Method two. More Setup Required: The Plex Media Server

The Plex Media Server has integrated Chromecast support. Plex is a popular media-server solution you’ll need to install on one of your computers. After you do, you can access it from all your other devices. Plex has apps for a wide variety of devices, from mobile phones and video game consoles to the Apple TV and Roku.

If you have a Chromecast, you can open the Plex web app in Chrome and you’ll be able to “cast” videos and other media files directly to your Chromecast. Your Chromecast will stream the media from your Plex media server.

If you just want to watch a few videos now and then, Videostream does the same thing without any setup process. But, if you want to set up a full-blown home media server, Plex will work for you.



Now you are able to Chromecast online or local videos from iPhone 7/SE/6S/6 to TV, hope you can happily enjoy the fantastic movies with your friends and families on the big HD screen.
