How to play online radio on a smart TV and speakers
Phone speakers are fine for a quick listen, but at home radio sounds much better on a good speaker or the TV’s sound system. Here are the simplest ways to connect them.
Bluetooth speakers
Put the speaker in pairing mode, open the Bluetooth settings on your phone or computer and select it. From then on all audio, including My VibeOn radio, plays through the speaker. It’s the most universal method and needs no extra app.
The website’s Cast button
The player on myvibeon.com has a 📡 button: in compatible browsers (for example Chrome on Android) it sends the audio to a remote device available on the same network, such as a Chromecast or a compatible TV.
Chromecast from a computer with Chrome
On a computer, open the station in Chrome, click the ⋮ menu at the top right and choose Cast…, then select your TV or Chromecast. The browser tab is cast with its audio.
The smart TV browser
Many smart TVs have a browser: open myvibeon.com, pick a station and press play. On some models the browser is slow with rich pages, but it’s enough to listen to a station.
With a cable
The simplest solution of all is still a cable: from the computer or phone to the AUX input of the sound system or soundbar. No delay, no pairing.
If the audio keeps cutting out
- Move the phone closer to the Bluetooth speaker (the typical range is about 10 meters, less through walls).
- Check that Wi-Fi is strong where the phone and the Chromecast are.
- Pick a lower-bitrate station if your network is slow.
Voice assistants and smart speakers
Many smart speakers can play your phone’s audio over Bluetooth like a regular speaker: pair it and start the radio from your phone. It’s the easiest way to play My VibeOn on a smart speaker, with no setup needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a delay with Bluetooth? For radio it doesn’t matter: a small delay is only noticeable with video.
Can I use my computer as a “stereo”? Yes: open myvibeon.com on the computer connected to your sound system, by cable or Bluetooth, and leave it on.
The 📡 button does nothing? Casting only works in compatible browsers and with a device on the same Wi-Fi network. Otherwise use Chrome’s Cast menu or Bluetooth.
