South Korean company LG has confirmed via its FlatpanelsHD portal that all of its OLED models released during 2022 and 2023, as well as those announced during 2024, will be compatible with Chromecast, a technology that has not been available on LG TVs until now .

This means that those users who choose to do so will be able to send content from their mobile phone to their TV using Google's streaming technology. To do this, they simply need to click the "Share Broadcast" button that appears when playing a video, series or movie, and select their TV model.

LG has already used this feature with AirPlay, Apple's content streaming technology. However, this only applies to Apple devices and not mobile phones or other Android-based equipment.
