<p>
  The average person spends 3 hours per day watching the TV. With Google Cast
  you make it easy for users to include your content as part of their viewing
  schedule. All they need is an Android TV, a TV with a Chromecast plugged in,
  or a Cast for audio device connected to their audio system.

  Google Cast is a great way to add value and convenience to your content
  consumption apps, and extend their engagement with your users.

<h2 id="tips">Tips</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Cast devices can be low-power devices with memory, CPU, and GPU limitations,
  so the receiver application should be as lightweight as possible.</li>
  <li>User interaction should only take place on the Cast sender (phone, tablet,
  or Chrome browser), not the Cast receiver.</li>
  <li>While content is loading, provide animated loading indicators and use transitions
  to help make things feel faster on the Cast sender interface.</li>
  <li>Let users know your app is “Google Card-enabled” in your store listing and use
  the <a href="https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/ux_guidelines#brand-guidelines">Google
  Cast badge</a> on your website and marketing materials.</li>
</ul>
