Google Chromecast and Apple's AirPlay are the casting standards of choice on millions of devices worldwide. Now, Amazon has announced the adoption of a new open casting alternative in its products. Amazon revealed at CES 2024 that it will bring the Matter Casting standard to the Echo Show 15 and Fire TV devices. This allows users to stream from their Android or iOS devices to the aforementioned Amazon gadgets. In fact, Amazon claims this is an industry-first implementation. Retail Colossus has confirmed that Matter Casting is now available for users who want to stream Prime Video content from their Android / iOS device to the Echo Show 15.
However, the Fax Lists company explained that the standard of open casting to Fire TV products in the "coming months". What else should you know about Casting Matter? Amazon specifically mentioned in a later blog that Panasonic TVs with Fire TV will get the casting protocol, but what about other Fire TV products? "Matter Casting will work on most of our Fire TV devices, including Fire TV Omni QLED Series, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, as well as many of our smart TVs built with Fire TV. We have a full list of compatible devices, that will be released in the coming months, Amazon told Android Authority when asked about the specific Fire TV products that will receive Matter Casting support.
The company also noted that it is working with Plex, Pluto TV, Sling TV, STARZ and ZDF to implement Matter Casting support "later this year." Either way, we're glad to see an open alternative to Google and Apple's casting protocols. This can make life easier for people with devices from different ecosystems and allows for seamless transitions between these disparate products.
