Technology works to make all of our tech devices smarter, and connecting each one to each other is a major step in technological innovation.  While we have had Internet-connected televisions for some time now, the newest technology allows you to stream videos from other Internet-connected devices to your TV.  Flinger.co is a service that allows you to start your own Smart TV Channel on your computer, your mobile tech devices, and/or your TV’s web browser.  It links any video site to any device you want to view videos from, letting you choose whatever video you want to view and then transfer it to your TV with a single click remotely.

There are several differences between Flinger and other services that may seem similar.  Firstly, there is no download required, and you simply need to enter a code that the website generates each time you use it rather than requiring you to have any separate software.  Additionally, while it works best in Google Chrome, there are no restrictions of any kind in terms of what browser you use and no equipment to buy and install.  In fact, its service is completely free to users, who can simply take any video they could otherwise view on any website and watch it on their TV screens instead.

Flinger features tech support for streaming videos online from your PC, laptop, or netbook, and it is also compatible with any mobile device and smart TVs.  There is complete compatibility with any Internet browser, though it features optimization for Google Chrome, and it works with all iOS, Android, and Windows-based mobile devices.  It allows you to “fling” almost anything with a URL from any screen to any other screen simply by opening Flinger.co on your TV’s browser, using the available “remote” to right click on video links, and instantly flinging them to the TV.

Provided the links you fling are safe and your Internet security software is up to date, you face very little, if any, danger from malicious programs online.  With that in mind, you can even use the Flinger.co channel URL your code gives you to set up a channel that you can share with your friends, allowing you to share what you are watching with each other.  Flinger works specifically with major video sharing sites such as YouTube and Vimeo, with more being constantly added, making watching anything you want on your TV more of a reality than ever before.
