Unlike AirPlay mirroring, Beamer enables native streaming — so that any TV device plays your movies without glitches and complications. Pick any movie format, add subtitles, and let high-quality streaming begin.
👋 Hey there, I'm Josh, one of the guys behind Beamer 4 – an effortless video streaming tool that takes video from Mac to Apple TV or Chromecast.
This app has a special story: it was originally made by other devs but then left behind. We’ve stepped in to make sure such a great app doesn’t disappear. We’ve fixed and improved Beamer so you can try the latest version – with more features, improved performance, and updated design.
The first thing to know about Beamer is how simple it is: You launch it on your Mac, drag a movie onto it and it automatically starts beaming via Airplay 2 or Chromecast. And that’s it!
📍 Beamer 4 has a bunch of cool features to simplify Mac-to-TV streaming:
📺 AirPlay 2 and tvOS 17 Support: Stream movies to the newest Apple TV or Chromecast devices. Beamer also extends its support to all AirPlay 2-enabled TVs.
✅ No Video Format Restriction: Beamer handles everything from HEVC, MKV, H265, VP8, to other rare encodings that go beyond Apple's support.
📝 Subtitles? Easy! Beamer 4 supports all popular subtitle formats, whether text-based, bitmap-based, embedded in movies, or as external files.
🎵 Music Streaming: Drop audio files onto Beamer and use your TV as a speaker for a really immersive audio experience.
🦾 Remote magic: Unlike AirPlay Mirroring, your Apple TV remote will work with Beamer. You can pause, fast forward, play and rewind, all from the remote
Guys, if you have a Mac, and if you have TV – go ahead and try it out – the app has a free trial 😆
If you have ANY questions, suggestions, or cool feature requests – let me know, and I'll try to answer ASAP!
To be able to access everything, including subtitles, by watching the video, this program is the best option, I definitely recommend you to use it :)
Beamer 4 is nothing short of a revelation for anyone looking to enhance the experience of streaming any movie from Mac to Apple TV. As CEO, I've tried numerous tools over the years, but Beamer 4 truly stands out as a game changer in this space.
What I Love:
Sleek and User-Friendly Interface: Beamer 4 boasts a beautifully designed and intuitive interface.
