Hi trying to cast the BBC sports app player to the telly via Chromecast….so have pressed the Chromecast symbol on the tablet …I get ready to cast on the telly with BBC background but as soon as I press the chosen sport it only shows on the tablet.

Tablet is android, tried daughters i phone 6 and it is doing g the same. Updated BBC app so what am I doing g wrong please

Oh can cast everything else like you tube and Google or I played just not live Olympics

Chromecast is a round one so version 2

Suspect it’s something to do with them not having rights to casr. This doesn’t mention Chromecast specifically but reading between the lines sounds like it might apply http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/connected/chromecast/Rio_2016_live_events

Fire stick.

Thanks Doug, we just read that.

I am casting from the BBC webpage ( not the app) to the TV with no issues

cast screen. live events won’t cast as normal. it’s the same on the laptop you need to cast the tab as opposed to the event, so the casting is taking the connection direct from your device, not as the chromecast normally does, ie going straight to you web connection and bypassing your device.. (plus you need your power settings to all be a full whack if you want a decent stream doing it this way.)

Okay getting the ready to cast sign but when I press play just casts on tablet…….three of us , 50,25, ,,23 years old all failing….dummies guide please

I am not casting the screen. I am just casting as normal

try doing it from the website not the app

Casting from BBC TV apps to Chromecast is flaky generally. If you did through their FAQs it’s a known problem.
