Mesh Delivery supports integration with classic web-based Chromecast receivers as well as with Android-based Chromecast with Google TVs. This document covers Web-based integration. For Android-based integration for Chromecast, the steps for integration would be the same as integrating with any android app.
For Web-based integration, The Google Cast SDK enables you to extend your Android, iOS, or Chrome app to direct its streaming video and audio to a TV set.
For Mesh Delivery to work with the Web-based Chromecast receiver, you need to build a custom receiver application. A custom receiver is an HTML5 app that you host on your servers and must be implemented using the JavaScript Receiver API.
For more details about how to build a custom receiver application with the Receiver API, refer to Google's Custom Receiver guide.
