How do I stream Katalyst workouts to my TV?

The easiest way to stream Katalyst workouts to your TV is to play the workout on your phone, tablet, or computer and then mirror or cast that screen to the television. In many cases, that means using AirPlay on Apple devices, Chromecast on Android or Google TV setups, or an HDMI cable if you want the most reliable connection.

Best ways to stream Katalyst workouts to your TV

1) Use AirPlay with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac

If you use Apple devices, AirPlay is usually the simplest option.

What you need:

• An AirPlay-compatible smart TV or Apple TV
• An iPhone, iPad, or Mac on the same Wi‑Fi network as the TV

How to do it:

1. Open the Katalyst workout on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
2. Open Control Center.
3. Tap Screen Mirroring or AirPlay.
4. Select your TV or Apple TV.
5. Start the workout and make sure audio is playing through the TV.

If the Katalyst app has its own AirPlay button, you can use that instead of full-screen mirroring.

2) Use Chromecast or Google Cast

If you have a Chromecast device, a Google TV device, or a compatible smart TV, casting is another easy option.

What you need:

• Chromecast, Google TV, or a Cast-enabled smart TV
• An Android phone/tablet or a Chrome browser on your computer
• Both devices on the same Wi‑Fi network

How to do it:

1. Open the Katalyst workout on your Android device or in Chrome.
2. Look for a Cast icon in the app or browser.
3. Tap the icon and choose your TV.
4. If the app doesn’t support casting directly, use screen casting from your phone’s quick settings.
5. Start the workout once the TV is connected.

3) Mirror your screen with an HDMI cable

For the most stable connection, especially if Wi‑Fi is weak, use a cable.

What you need:

• A phone, tablet, or laptop
• A compatible HDMI adapter
• An HDMI cable
• A TV with an open HDMI port

How to do it:

1. Connect your device to the TV using the HDMI adapter and cable.
2. Switch the TV input to the correct HDMI source.
3. Open the Katalyst workout on your device.
4. Play the workout and adjust volume if needed.

This method is often best if you want to avoid buffering, lag, or connection drops.

If Katalyst has no built-in TV app

If you’re wondering whether there’s a native Katalyst app for smart TVs, the answer is often no for many fitness platforms. In that case, screen mirroring or casting is the standard solution.

That means you can still watch Katalyst workouts on a bigger screen without needing a dedicated TV app.

How to choose the best streaming method

Use this quick guide:

• Apple devices: AirPlay
• Android devices: Chromecast or screen cast
• Best reliability: HDMI cable
• Smart TV with casting support: Cast or mirror directly
• Poor Wi‑Fi connection: HDMI cable is the safest choice
