Install the app, tap cast, and your game appears on any screen. Your phone becomes the controller, and you can add overlays or AI companions.

Is this cloud gaming?

No. GCast uses your phone to run the game locally. That's why latency is ultra-low and costs stay minimal.

Do I need a console or special hardware?

No. Just your phone, WiFi, and a screen (TV, laptop, tablet).

Does GCast work with any game?

Yes. If it runs on your phone, it casts.

Casting is 100% free while in beta. After beta, basic casting will remain free and unlimited access will be part of a paid plan.

All gameplay data stays on your device; we don't sell or share it.

Can you play Call of Duty Mobile on a TV?

Yes. CoD Mobile does not have a native TV app, but with GCast you can mirror your phone to any TV, monitor, or laptop over WiFi. The game runs on your phone with virtually zero added latency, so the big screen feels native.

How do I play CoD Mobile with a controller on TV?

Pair a Bluetooth controller (Xbox, PlayStation, or any HID gamepad) to your phone, open Call of Duty Mobile, and confirm controller mode is enabled in settings. Then open GCast, tap Cast, pick your TV, and play. CoD Mobile reads the gamepad directly, GCast handles the screen.

Does GCast add input lag to Call of Duty Mobile?

No. The game runs locally on your phone, the same way it always does. GCast only mirrors the screen output to a nearby display over your local WiFi, so input lag stays at native phone latency.

Do I need a console or special hardware to play CoD Mobile on TV?

No. You only need a phone, a Bluetooth controller, a TV or monitor with a browser, and WiFi. No Apple TV, no Chromecast dongle, no PC emulator, no console.

How to Play Call of Duty Mobile on TV With a Controller

Call of Duty Mobile feels great on a phone. It feels even better on a 27 inch monitor with a controller in your hands. The catch is there is no native CoD Mobile TV app, no console version, and the cloud-gaming alternatives add input lag that ruins the gunfights.

GCast fixes that without a console or an emulator. Your phone runs the game, a Bluetooth controller handles the inputs, and GCast mirrors the screen to any TV or monitor over WiFi. New to GCast? Read what GCast is and how it works first, then come back here.

Built for Controllers, and That Pairs Perfectly With GCast

This is where CoD Mobile gets interesting. Unlike a lot of mobile shooters, Call of Duty Mobile has full native gamepad support: Xbox controllers, PlayStation controllers, and most HID Bluetooth pads work straight out of the box. The on-screen buttons disappear the moment a controller connects, the aim assist behaves like the console version, and the menus all map to the gamepad.

That changes what casting unlocks. With most mobile games, casting to a TV gives you a bigger screen but you are still tapping a sheet of glass on your lap. With CoD Mobile plus GCast, you get something that is functionally identical to a console: phone runs the game, gamepad drives the inputs, TV shows the action. No emulator, no console purchase, no input lag. Just the mobile build of CoD running natively, on a real controller, on a real TV.

Why Play CoD Mobile on a Big Screen

A bigger screen is not just nicer to look at. In a fast game like CoD Mobile, it changes how you play.

Sightlines open up. Distant heads on Standoff or Crash become real targets, not 8 pixel guesses.
Mini-map reads faster. A 27 inch monitor turns the radar into something you actually use, not squint at.
Reaction time stops being half about screen real estate. You see the flank from the side of the frame instead of after they shoot you.
Your hands stop cramping. Controller in your lap, phone on a stand, no death grip on a slippery slab of glass.

How to Set Up CoD Mobile on TV With GCast

Step 1: Pair a Bluetooth controller to your phone

Open your phone's Bluetooth settings and pair an Xbox, PlayStation, or any HID gamepad. CoD Mobile supports controllers natively on most modern devices, so the game picks it up the moment it sees one. If you do not see the on-screen buttons disappear when you pick up the controller, double-check controller support is on in CoD Mobile's settings.

Step 2: Open GCast and pick your TV

Launch GCast on your phone. Stay in Solo mode (we are casting one phone, no party needed). GCast auto-detects screens on your WiFi network: smart TVs, laptops, monitors with a browser, tablets, anything that runs Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox.

Step 3: Start the broadcast

Tap Start Broadcast and confirm the screen broadcast prompt. Your phone's display lands on the big screen with virtually zero added latency.

Step 4: Open Call of Duty Mobile and play

Launch CoD Mobile. Jump into Multiplayer, Battle Royale, or Ranked. The controller drives the game, the phone runs it, and your monitor or TV shows it. That is the whole setup.

CoD Mobile Tips for Big-Screen Play

Use a controller you already trust. Xbox and PlayStation controllers pair cleanly to both iOS and Android. Don't fiddle with cheap no-name pads right before a ranked grind.
Run 5GHz WiFi. It cuts jitter and keeps the cast smooth during firefights and Battle Royale endgames.
Plug in or sit near a charger. Casting plus CoD Mobile drains the battery fast, especially on max graphics settings.
Mount your phone on a stand. You will not be touching the screen, but you do not want it face down on the desk either.
Crank graphics if your phone can take it. A 27 inch monitor exposes any cheaping out you did on settings.
Both Multiplayer and Battle Royale work the same. GCast does not care which mode you queue, it mirrors what is on the phone.

Want to Play With a Friend on the Same Screen?

You can also run two phones into one screen for true split-screen CoD-style 1v1s with a friend. The flow is the same as our PUBG Mobile split screen guide, just swap the game.

Will I Get Banned for Casting CoD Mobile?

No. GCast does not touch the game. It does not inject inputs, run on an emulator, or modify anything inside Call of Duty Mobile. Your phone runs the game the way it always does. GCast just mirrors what is already on your screen to another display, the same way AirPlay or Chromecast would.

This also keeps you in the mobile matchmaking pool. CoD Mobile flags emulator users so they get matched against other emulator players, which changes the lobby quality. Casting your phone to a TV does not put you in that bucket. You play against the same mobile lobbies you always did.

Ready to Drop In?

Pair your controller, open GCast, pick your TV, tap Start Broadcast, and load CoD Mobile. You will be playing Call of Duty Mobile on the big screen with a real controller in under a minute, no console, no emulator, no subscription.
