Bharti Airtel is planning to introduce the casting feature on its Airtel TV application soon. Sameer Batra, CEO – Content & Apps, Bharti Airtel told The Mobile Indian that the company will bring this feature in the near future.
“Casting is a feature, which we are planning to make it available in the near future… It is on our radar and we are definitely working on this feature,” he said. Batra further revealed that the company is also planning to increase the content library on its Airtel TV application. As of now, the application does not support casting option. So, if Airtel rolls out the casting support for its TV application, then it will be a helpful feature to its customers as they will be able to watch their favouirte content on a big screen.
