Find OHdio’s casting controls in the full audio player

Expand the player before looking for output controls

Radio-Canada begins both mobile casting workflows by selecting audio and opening the OHdio player in full-page view. A compact player does not show the same documented control layout. Open the recording or stream first, then expand its player before searching the interface for the receiver selection. This places the next action in the audio player rather than the programme catalogue.

Use the iOS broadcast button

For iOS, Radio-Canada lists Google Cast, AirPlay and Bluetooth as routes to other devices. In the expanded player, select the speaker-shaped broadcast button at the bottom of the screen, then choose the intended device. For Google Cast specifically, the mobile device and Chromecast must be on the same network. Select an appropriate available receiver for the output technology being used.

Use the Android Google Cast button

The Android workflow also starts with selected audio and the full-page player. Its Google Cast icon is at the top right, where selecting it opens the destination choice. Radio-Canada’s Chromecast guidance requires the sender and receiver to share a Wi-Fi network. The documented Android control is therefore not in the same bottom position as the iOS broadcast button.

Distinguish casting from an unavailable Sonos service

Radio-Canada’s separate Sonos answer says OHdio listening on Sonos is not possible and points to Chromecast as an alternative. Treat that as a different supported route, not an instruction to add OHdio as a native Sonos service. The general AirPlay or Bluetooth instructions also do not establish that every speaker model supplies those receiving capabilities; use the actual supported output of the intended receiver.
