    I mean, you still need it, the phone has to be on and connected to the same wifi as whatever it’s casting to.

      Nah you can turn the phone off once the video has started. I only know this because my kids have regularly failed to charge the ‘phone that we only use for Chromecast to the tv’ and it sometimes dies while they’re watching something. Keeps playing until the end.
