Preliminary information

Before explaining how to connect Just Dance Now to Smart TV , let me give you some preliminary information about it.

First of all, you must know that Just Dance Now is a free multiplayer video game for Android ( Android 5.0 or higher), iOS ( iOS 10 or higher) and iPadOS mobile devices , which allows you to play a selection of songs from the catalog of the famous series of games of dance Just Dance without needing a console, a computer or dedicated motion sensors and controllers, such as Kinect and PlayStation Move .

To play, in fact, just download the app on your smartphone (or, if desired, even tablet), which will constitute the controller, and then associate the device with a screen connected to the Internet, such as your TV or the screen of a computer or a tablet.

Specifically, as regards the possibilities of connecting the video game to the TV, all TVs and Smart TVs can be used, but it is necessary to use it combined with Chromecast , the famous Google HDMI key, as the Miracast technology present in many Smart TVs are unfortunately not supported.

In this regard, in order to play Just Dance Now on TV it is also important that the Google dongle has been connected to the TV and correctly configured . As an alternative to Chromecast, you can also project the Just Dance app on the TV via other devices, such as the Apple TV set-top box (by installing the appropriate tvOS application ).
