You can play podcast episodes from Pocket Casts on your headset, TV or speakers using Bluetooth, Chromecast, Chromecast Audio and any other Google Cast enabled devices. Additionally Pocket Casts also supports some smart speaker systems, currently Alexa and Sonos.
See this article for more information about how to set up the Amazon Alexa integration.
- Open the Settings app on your device
- Tap Bluetooth
- Pair with your chosen Bluetooth device
- Open Pocket Casts and tap Play on any episode
- Set up your casting device and join your local WiFi network
- Make sure your Android device is on the same WiFi network
- Tap the Google Cast button in Pocket Casts to connect
- Tap Play on any episode in Pocket Casts
In the player, you can access the cast button via the player toolbar’s three-dot menu, or as this toolbar is customizable, you can move the cast button into the player if you wish.
Note: As of Android 12, Google has removed the casting volume controls. This is out of our control, but we hope that this functionality gets added back in a future Android update.
To play episodes on Sonos devices, please refer to the Sonos Integration guide.
