But then came the computer. And the smartphone. And the tablet. (And now wrist watches!) Screens are everywhere, but the biggest and most prevalent screen in most peoples\u2019 lives is still the big TV in their living room.<br \/>\nThanks to cool technology like Google\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/devices\/chromecast\/\">$35 Chromecast<\/a>, you can push live content from your tiny phone\u2019s screen onto a giant TV. And thanks to our team\u2019s interest in all things Google, you\u2019ll soon be able to stream Pixlr directly to your TV.<br \/>\n<strong>Pixlr on the Tee-Vee<\/strong><br \/>\nOur development team was fortunate to be granted early access to Google\u2019s Cast API updates, which is being opened up in new ways for third-party developers today at Google I\/O, the yearly Google developer conference. Working with Google, we decided it would be nice to use their Cast API to add Chromecast support for our apps. With an upcoming update to Pixlr, you\u2019ll be able\u00a0to click the Cast button on your screen and push your editing session to a TV or other devices with Google Cast built in.<br \/>\n<strong>Edit in Real Time on the Big(ger) Screen<\/strong><br \/>\nOne neat detail about this integration is that you\u2019ll see everything you normally see while using Pixlr. But your TV will show your photo live as it\u2019s being edited \u2014 without the details of the Pixlr interface. Apply a space overlay at 50% opacity, and you\u2019ll see your on-screen photo change in real time to reflect your space overlay edits.<br \/>\n<strong>Integration for both Android and iOS<\/strong><br \/>\nThis Pixlr Cast API integration is being demoed by our team at Google I\/O today, and we\u2019ll be building it into future versions of both Pixlr for Android and iOS, but we wanted to let you know about it straight away. Thanks go out to our team for digging into the Cast API early \u2014 and of course to the folks at Google for working with us to get it done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world used to be dominated by one screen \u2014 the television.
