Alphabet Inc.’s Google is working with TikTok to stream videos from Android phones to televisions, part of a broader effort to make its devices work together more seamlessly.
The new feature will let Android users show clips from ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok app on TVs equipped with Google’s Chromecast system, according to a statement Tuesday. It’s similar to Apple Inc.’s AirPlay service, which can share video from an iPhone with an Apple TV set-top box.
