Send any video to Apple TV from your Mac with Beamer

A few days ago we talked about an application that allowed us send the content of our Mac directly to the Google Chromecast, a much cheaper device than current Apple TV models. But not all Mac users have a Chromecast, most of them have an Apple TV. Natively. Apple still does not allow macOS to send movies to be played on Apple TV through AirPlay, so users who have the need to do so are forced toresort to third-party applications. Among all the applications available on the market, it is worth highlighting Beamer, an application that offers us everything we may need when playing videos from our Mac on the Apple TV.

Beamer is ideal if we have both an Apple TV and a Cromecast since it is compatible with both technologies. One of the functions that attracts the most attention is found when controlling the reproduction of the content, since once we have sent the film or video to the Apple TV, we can control playback directly from the Apple TV remoteIdeal for when both devices are not in the same room.

Beamer is compatible with the majority of audio and video formats currently available on the market, so you do not have to perform any type of conversion when sending the video to the Apple TV. In addition, it is also compatible with subtitles available in an independent file or included in the video and offers support for 5.1 sound. Beamer is priced at 19,99 euros and is available on the developer's website. It requires macOS 10.10 or later and occupies a little less than 25 MB on our device.
