Beamer 4 - Better way to stream any movie from Mac to Apple TV

by
Ambassador
Unlike AirPlay mirroring, Beamer enables native streaming — so that any TV device plays your movies without glitches and complications. Pick any movie format, add subtitles, and let high-quality streaming begin.

👋 Hey there, I'm Josh, one of the guys behind Beamer 4 – an effortless video streaming tool that takes video from Mac to Apple TV or Chromecast. This app has a special story: it was originally made by other devs but then left behind. We’ve stepped in to make sure such a great app doesn’t disappear. We’ve fixed and improved Beamer so you can try the latest version – with more features, improved performance, and updated design. The first thing to know about Beamer is how simple it is: You launch it on your Mac, drag a movie onto it and it automatically starts beaming via Airplay 2 or Chromecast. And that’s it! 📍 Beamer 4 has a bunch of cool features to simplify Mac-to-TV streaming: 📺 AirPlay 2 and tvOS 17 Support: Stream movies to the newest Apple TV or Chromecast devices. Beamer also extends its support to all AirPlay 2-enabled TVs. ✅ No Video Format Restriction: Beamer handles everything from HEVC, MKV, H265, VP8, to other rare encodings that go beyond Apple's support. 📝 Subtitles? Easy! Beamer 4 supports all popular subtitle formats, whether text-based, bitmap-based, embedded in movies, or as external files. 🎵 Music Streaming: Drop audio files onto Beamer and use your TV as a speaker for a really immersive audio experience. 🦾 Remote magic: Unlike AirPlay Mirroring, your Apple TV remote will work with Beamer. You can pause, fast forward, play and rewind, all from the remote Guys, if you have a Mac, and if you have TV – go ahead and try it out – the app has a free trial 😆 If you have ANY questions, suggestions, or cool feature requests – let me know, and I'll try to answer ASAP!

I've always wanted to stream videos directly to my smart TV without mirroring. Beamer 4 fulfills that wish, and it's a joy to use!

To be able to access everything, including subtitles, by watching the video, this program is the best option, I definitely recommend you to use it :)

This looks useful! Can I control the playback speed?
Toma Zakharova
Maker
@rayshan As of now, we don't have a playback speed control feature, but that's a pretty cool idea! I'll make sure to relay it to our development team.

Hello, it is a very nice application. However, while previous versions had lifetime usage, Beamer 4 does not have lifetime usage, it has a subscription. From where ?
Toma Zakharova
Maker
@ilker_drb Thank you for your kind words about Beamer 4! You're absolutely right; Beamer 4 has transitioned to a subscription model. This change is a part of our larger move where Beamer has joined the Softorino family, and it's now included in Universal License subscription. This subscription not only covers Beamer 4 but also provides access to a suite of more than a dozen Softorino apps, including popular ones like WALTR PRO and SYC. We believe that this transition to the Universal License subscription offers more value, granting access to a wide range of useful apps.
ilker drb
@softtoma Hello, thank you for your kind answer. You are right, there are multiple application options in the subscription system. A suitable system for users looking for this. But shouldn't there be a purchasing option for users like me who are just looking for an application like Beamer 4? I have a previous license Beamer but I can't buy a new one. 😞😞😞
Toma Zakharova
Maker
@ilker_drb Just between us, we're indeed working on a solution to provide more options. Stay tuned for some exciting news in the future! 😉

@softtoma Thank you. We are looking forward.

Stream Like A Dream! If you've ever faced compatibility issues or glitches while streaming movies from your Mac to Apple TV using AirPlay, Beamer 4 is the game-changer you need. What sets Beamer apart is its ability to offer native streaming for virtually any movie format — effortlessly. The added convenience of embedding subtitles is the cherry on top. Beamer 4's promise of high-quality streaming without the hitches is not an overstatement. It's essentially like giving your Mac and Apple TV a universal translator for movie formats. Elegant, intuitive, and seamless. Kudos to Softorino for this innovative solution. Highly recommended for movie buffs and casual streamers alike! 🍿📺
