Beamer
Beamer is a desktop casting and streaming application that allows Mac users to stream video files directly to Apple TV, Chromecast, and other compatible devices. The app supports a wide variety of video formats and codecs, making it particularly useful for playing files that aren't natively supported by Apple's built-in streaming features. Users can drag and drop video files onto Beamer to instantly stream them to their TV without needing to convert formats first. It's popular among Mac users who have large collections of video files in various formats and want a simple way to watch them on their television screens.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on conflicting information in the search results, Beamer's Apple Silicon compatibility status is unclear. One source claims version 3.5 added Apple Silicon support, while another states the current version 4.2.0 is Intel-only. Since the app appears to still be maintained by Softorino (with version 4.2.0 being relatively recent), I recommend checking the official Softorino website or contacting the developer directly to confirm whether the current version includes native Apple Silicon support. If you need a confirmed native alternative, consider Airflow, which is specifically mentioned as a good Beamer alternative.
