castdrop

Drop a video. Cast it to your TV.

Upload a local video file, get a temporary streaming URL, and cast it to your Chromecast in native quality. Videos are automatically deleted after 1 hour or when you close the page.

How it works

1. Drag & drop (or select) a video file
2. File uploads to Cloudflare R2 (temporary storage)
3. Cast the video to your Chromecast using Chrome's built-in Cast or the Cast button
4. Video is deleted when you leave the page (or after 1 hour max)

Note: 10GB limit to prevent abuse. The idea is for smaller videos. Otherwise, use YouTube.
