Nettify Cast™ — Secure Hotel Casting Without QR Codes or PINs

Automatic device pairing. No QR codes. No PINs. No login credentials stored. Any TV supported. TV Ads & Guest Messaging built in. Works standalone or alongside existing IPTV.

Nettify Cast is a secure Bring-Your-Own-Content hotel casting solution with automatic device pairing — no QR codes, no PINs, no app downloads. Guests connect to the hotel Wi-Fi and their device is automatically paired with their room’s TV. No guest can see or connect to any TV other than their own. Login credentials are never stored. When no one is casting, the TV displays hotel-branded content, promotions, and guest messages — turning every idle screen into a revenue channel. Cast supports both casting and mirroring, and is compatible with any TV brand, model, or age — smart or traditional. It also integrates with existing IPTV systems that lack a casting feature. All Nettify Cast features are included in Nettify IPTVcast.

Nettify Cast hotel casting solution — automatic device pairing welcome screen on in-room TV, no QR codes, no PINs

Guests are usually unimpressed with hotels' content offering, but they like the bigger screen of hotel TVs.

Vice versa, guests love their own content but are unhappy with their devices' screen size.

Nettify Cast solves this!

What do hotel guests love about Nettify Cast?

Guests bring their own content. The hotel provides the big screen. No friction in between.

Instant Casting — No QR Code, No PIN, No App

Guest connects to hotel Wi-Fi. Their phone, tablet, or laptop is automatically paired with their room's TV. No QR code to scan, no PIN to enter, no app to download. The guest opens Netflix, YouTube, Spotify — any casting-compatible app — and taps cast. It just works. The phone becomes the remote control.

Own Subscriptions on the Hotel TV

Guests watch their own Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, YouTube Premium, Spotify, and 3,000+ casting-enabled apps on a big screen — including TV channels and games. No need to log in to anything on the hotel TV. No need to log out. No account credentials are ever sent to or stored in the system. The guest's phone is the only login required.

Both Casting & Mirroring Supported

Casting sends content directly from the app to the TV — the phone stays free for other use with no disruptions from incoming calls or notifications. Mirroring duplicates the entire screen, useful for presentations, photo slideshows, or apps that don't natively support casting. Nettify Cast supports both modes — guests choose what works for them.

Multiple Devices, Multiple TVs

Connect multiple devices to the same TV simultaneously — great for multiplayer games or collaborative presentations. In suites and villas with multiple TVs, guests choose which screen to cast to. Each TV is independently addressable. Full HD and 4K resolution supported on all connections.

100% Privacy — No Other Guest Can See Your TV

No guest can see, discover, or connect to any TV other than their own. No watched content history is stored. No login credentials are retained in the system. All sessions clear automatically at checkout. This is not consumer Chromecast in a hotel room — this is purpose-built, enterprise-grade hospitality casting with absolute guest isolation.

Phone as Remote — Hygienic & Familiar

Guests use their own phone instead of a shared remote control — a hygienic alternative that guests increasingly prefer. No unfamiliar remote with dozens of buttons. Just the device they already know, controlling the content they already pay for, on the big screen they want. Picture quality is fantastic.

What do hotels love about Nettify Cast?

Budget-friendly in-room entertainment that doesn't require IPTV, doesn't require TV upgrades, and generates revenue when idle.

Budget-friendly in-room entertainment. No expensive IPTV system needed. No set-top-box with yet another remote control.

ROI protection: keep your existing TVs and your existing Wi-Fi network. No forced hardware upgrades.

Quick and easy deployment with no cabling needed. Supports wired and wireless connectivity. Flexible business models.

Automatic guest disconnection at checkout. No operational issues with guest user accounts. 24/7 monitoring & management.

TV Ads — Revenue from Every Idle Screen

When no one is casting, the TV doesn't go dark — it displays targeted promotions: spa treatments, restaurant specials, local excursions, event announcements. Every in-room TV becomes a revenue-generating advertising surface, promoting high-margin services exactly when the guest is in the room and receptive. The ability to decrease or eliminate the traditional TV channel offering makes room for guest-preferred content.

Guest Messaging — Another Communication Channel

Send messages directly to the guest's TV: checkout reminders, spa appointment confirmations, event invitations, or emergency alerts. Messages display on the welcome screen when no one is casting and as pop-up overlays during active sessions. Broadcast to all rooms simultaneously or target individual rooms. Keep guests informed about your hotel, events, neighbourhood, or destination.

Fully Customisable Welcome Screen & Layout

Greet guests with a personal touch on an entirely hotel-branded screen. Customise the layout, colours, logo, messaging, and promotional content. Different visuals for different guest segments — corporate groups see meeting schedules, leisure guests see spa offers, VIPs see personalised welcomes. The TV becomes an extension of your brand, not a generic casting screen.

Add Casting to Your Existing IPTV

Already have hotel IPTV but missing casting? Your IPTV provider charges too much to add it? Nettify Cast integrates alongside your existing system — no need to replace anything. Add secure casting as a standalone layer. If you later want a full IPTV upgrade, Nettify IPTVcast includes all Cast features plus live TV, VOD, in-room ordering, and more. The WOW! effect this technology brings is a significant competitive advantage.

Using Chromecasts? Protect Them.

The Nettify Chromecast Lock is an anti-theft, anti-tampering, anti-reset enclosure designed specifically for hotels. It prevents guests from stealing the device, resetting it to factory settings, or disconnecting it. The open-frame design allows proper ventilation — avoiding the overheating that full enclosures cause, which significantly shortens Chromecast lifespan. Mount onto the Chromecast, secure to the TV bracket or cabling with the supplied stainless steel strap. Done.

FAQ — Your Questions Answered

How does hotel casting work without QR codes?

With Nettify Cast, when a guest connects to the hotel Wi-Fi, their device is automatically paired with the TV in their assigned room. No QR code, no PIN, no app download. The guest opens any casting-compatible app — Netflix, YouTube, Spotify — and taps cast. Only their room's TV appears as a target. Sessions and account data are automatically cleared at checkout.

Can other hotel guests see or connect to my TV?

No. Nettify Cast pairs each device exclusively with the TV in the guest's assigned room. No other guest can see, discover, or connect to that TV. This is a fundamental difference from consumer Chromecast setups where any nearby device can see the TV. Guest privacy is absolute — no watched content history is stored, and no login credentials are retained in the system.

What is the difference between casting and mirroring?

Casting sends content from an app (Netflix, YouTube, Spotify) directly to the TV — the phone acts as a remote and remains free for other use with no disruptions from calls, messages, or notifications. Mirroring duplicates the entire phone screen onto the TV in real time, which is useful for presentations, photos, or apps that don't support casting natively, but comes with the drawback of showing everything including incoming calls. Nettify Cast supports both.

Does hotel casting require a Smart TV?

No. Nettify Cast is compatible with any type, brand, or model of TV. Protect your investment — Nettify Cast will make your TVs smart. For non-smart TVs, a compact casting device is added behind the TV. For smart TVs, the system can use the TV's built-in capabilities. Hotels do not need to upgrade their TVs.

Can Nettify Cast be added to an existing hotel IPTV system?

Yes. If your hotel IPTV lacks casting or your IPTV provider asks for the casting feature too much, you can use Nettify Cast instead. It integrates alongside your existing IPTV without replacing it, adding secure casting as a standalone layer. If the hotel later wants a complete IPTV upgrade, Nettify IPTVcast includes all Cast features plus live TV, VOD, in-room ordering, and more.

What happens on the TV when no one is casting?

The TV displays a fully customisable hotel-branded welcome screen with promotions, event announcements, and guest messages. Hotels can run TV Ads to promote spa treatments, restaurant specials, or local excursions. This turns every in-room TV into a revenue-generating advertising surface when it would otherwise be idle.

What is the best casting solution for hotels?

The best hotel casting solution should be: Secure — no guest can connect to another room's TV and no login credentials are stored, even if later deleted. Universal — supports all types of mobile devices, all major operating systems, and any TV, so hotels do not waste money on unnecessary upgrades. User-Friendly — seamless experience with automatic device pairing, no QR codes or PIN codes. Revenue-Generating — hotel-specific infotainment features like TV Ads and promotions when idle. Energy-Efficient — cost-effective hardware, no expensive servers. Simply put, maximum joy with minimum effort for both guests and hotels.

Are guest login credentials stored during hotel casting?

No. For hotel screen casting, guests use their phones where they are permanently logged in to all their apps. No login credentials are required, sent, or stored in the system — offering total privacy protection. Additionally, no special app is needed to use Nettify Cast.

Does adding casting to a hotel require a network upgrade?

Not necessarily. Nettify Cast is a fully hardware-independent solution requiring no special hardware features. It works well with high-end as well as budget networking equipment. Since Nettify Cast supports both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity, we will only ensure all guest rooms have either an Ethernet cable or sufficient Wi-Fi coverage and help improve it wherever the signal is weak.

What is the difference between Nettify Cast and Nettify IPTVcast?

Nettify Cast is a standalone casting solution — secure screen casting with TV Ads, guest messaging, and a customisable welcome screen. Nettify IPTVcast is a complete in-room entertainment system that includes all Cast features plus live TV channels, VOD, in-room F&B ordering, personalised guest welcomes, and emergency alerts. Cast is ideal for hotels that want casting only; IPTVcast is for properties that want to replace their entire TV system. All Nettify Cast features are embedded in IPTVcast.

How much does Nettify Cast cost?

Pricing depends on the number of rooms and the type of TVs installed. Nettify Cast is significantly more cost-effective than full IPTV systems, making it ideal for 3-4 star hotels that want to offer guests a modern casting experience without the complexity of a complete entertainment system. Flexible business models are available. Reach out for a customised quote based on your hotel's needs.
