It works more like Apple’s AirPlay or Google Cast, neither of which are available on Fire TVs today, but with greater control from the phone than those options currently offer. For Matter Casting to gain traction, it’ll need support from device makers like Apple, Google, and Roku, TV manufacturers, and, of course, many more streaming services, such as Netflix, Max, and Disney Plus.
