Problem: when I cast a video from Google Photos to Chromecast using my iPhone, I see that only the image of the video is cast to TV, the TV has no sound and the frame is lag, the sound remain on my iPhone, but if I press home on my iPhone, then the casting to my TV stopped. Then I try using Google Photos on my friend's Samsung Android to cast a video, and it works perfectly. I see that this problem exists since 2018, many has complained: - No sound when I cast videos from the Google Photos app to my TV, audio only plays from my phone. - No sound when casting Google photos to tv. All other apps like Spotify and youtube works fine . - iOS Photos App, Cloud-Only Video to Chromecast (2&3): No Sound from TV, only iOS device This is the end of 2020 and it's still not fixed. So I don't expect Google will fix this on iPhone. Some user said > When a local copy exists on iOS device, the picture quality on the TV > is noticeably better than that of cloud-only videos.

Or I guess I'll just buy a Samsung Android to cast Google Photos video.
