Google today said a bunch of mobile video apps have been updated with support for its Chromecast product. Android device owners can stream video from the CBS All Access, FOX NOW, FXNOW, HGTV, Pluto TV, and Haystack TV apps on their handset or tablet to their TV via Chromecast. Chromecast is a WiFi-enabled HDMI dongle that plugs directly into TV sets. Chromecast already supports on-demand video apps such as HBO Go, Netflix, and Showtime. The latest versions of these apps are free to download from the Play Store, but many require accounts with cable providers to access the content.
