Matter Casting lets you can send content from your phone to your Amazon Fire TV streaming device and control it seamlessly. But it only works with Prime Video.

If the Fire TV is your streaming stick of choice, I have good news. There’s now an easy way to cast content from your phone or tablet to your TV — as long as you’re watching Prime Video. Matter Casting, a new protocol for casting content from an app on your phone to an app on a TV or display, is rolling out now to compatible Fire TVs and could one day be available on more screens in our homes.

There’s no volume control yet, but if the TV itself supports Matter — LG, Hisense, Toshiba, and TCL have all said they will — then you’ll also get volume control along with other TV functions, such as changing the channel and HDMI input. Like much of Matter, Matter Casting was designed to build on existing solutions. In my experience, it seems to have achieved that.
