Tubio for PC: What It Is and How to Cast Web Videos from Windows

Updated by

Tubio is an Android and iPhone app that casts web videos from your phone to a TV. There is no Tubio desktop app for Windows 10 or Windows 11, and on a PC you do not need one: Chrome and Edge can cast a browser tab to the same TVs natively. Tubio itself is still active on Google Play.

What the Tubio app actually does

Tubio is a browser with a cast button. You open a website inside the app, start a video, and Tubio hands the video stream to your TV, so the TV pulls the stream itself and your phone becomes a remote: play, pause, seek, volume. Because the TV does the streaming, you can lock your phone or use other apps without interrupting playback.

It talks to a genuinely wide range of receivers: Chromecast and Android TV, DLNA smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic and Philips, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Xbox consoles. The base app is free with ads, and there is an optional paid premium upgrade inside the app. AE Software has kept it updated through 2026, so unlike many apps in this category it is not abandonware.

Can you run Tubio on a PC?

There is no native Tubio program for Windows or macOS, and AE Software has never announced one. The only way to literally run the Android app on a computer is inside an emulator like BlueStacks: install BlueStacks, sign into the Play Store, install Tubio, and make sure the PC is on the same Wi-Fi network as the TV.

We will be straight with you about the result: it is often disappointing. Cast apps discover TVs by broadcasting on your local network, and an emulator sits behind a layer of virtual networking, so Tubio inside BlueStacks may simply never find your TV even when everything is on the same router. If it does connect, you have still added an entire emulator just to do something Windows can already do by itself. That is why our actual recommendation for PC users is below.

The PC-native way to cast web videos to your TV

Windows already includes the equivalent of Tubio for almost every receiver Tubio supports:

  • Chrome: open the video page, click the three-dot menu, choose Cast, and pick your Chromecast, Android TV, or cast-enabled smart TV. Casting a tab sends anything playing in it; many sites (like YouTube) also show a direct cast button in the player for better quality.
  • Microsoft Edge: three-dot menu, then Cast media to device. Edge is preinstalled on every Windows 10 and 11 PC, so this works with zero downloads.
  • Local video files: right-click the file in File Explorer and choose Cast to Device to send it to a DLNA smart TV, Xbox, or media receiver.
  • Whole screen: press Win+K to mirror to Miracast receivers, useful when a site blocks tab casting.

Same TVs, same Wi-Fi requirement, no emulator, and playback control stays in the browser tab.

On your phone, Tubio remains the right tool for the sites that have no cast button of their own. Grab it from its official listing:

Get Tubio (Google Play)

How to use Tubio on your phone

  1. Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network. This is the one non-negotiable requirement.
  2. Open Tubio and browse to the site with your video, or paste a link into its address bar.
  3. Start the video, then tap the cast icon. Tubio scans the network and lists every TV and receiver it finds.
  4. Pick your TV. The video jumps to the big screen and your phone shows the remote controls.

If no TV shows up, the usual culprits are the phone sitting on a guest network or 5 GHz band while the TV is on another, AP isolation enabled on the router, or a smart TV with its DLNA/network sharing setting switched off. Fix the network and discovery fixes itself; the same applies to casting from a PC browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tubio free?

Yes, the app is free to install and use with ads. A one-time premium upgrade inside the app removes the limitations. We will not quote a price here because it varies by region and changes; the in-app purchase screen shows your local price.

What is the Tubio app?

Tubio – Cast Web Videos to TV is an app by AE Software Ltd. for Android and iPhone that plays videos from websites on your TV over Wi-Fi. It supports Chromecast, DLNA smart TVs, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Xbox, and turns your phone into the remote while the TV streams the video directly.

Does Tubio work on Windows 10 or Windows 7?

Not natively, there is no Tubio for Windows. Inside an emulator it installs but often fails to discover TVs because of virtualized networking. On any Windows PC, cast from Chrome or Edge instead: it reaches the same TVs without extra software, including older Windows 7 machines running Chrome.

Is there a Tubio premium or mod APK worth getting?

Skip mod APKs. They are repackaged by third parties, carry the usual sideloading malware risk, and casting apps see every URL you watch. If Tubio earns a spot in your routine, the official in-app premium upgrade is the safe way to support it.

Verdict

Tubio is a genuinely useful phone app that is still maintained in 2026, and on Android or iPhone it is an easy recommendation. On a PC it is the wrong tool: browser casting built into Chrome and Edge does the same job with none of the emulator friction. Keep Tubio on your phone, use the Cast menu on your computer, and you are covered on every screen.

V380s for PC: What Still Works in 2026

Updated by
download v380 for pc free download

The V380s app has been removed from Google Play, so stop hunting for a V380s PC download. The current app for these cameras is V380 Pro, and you have two honest routes on a computer: run V380 Pro inside a free Android emulator, or use the vendor’s dated but real V380 Windows client.

Official source Google Play / v380camera.com
Last verified July 2026

What happened to V380s

V380s was one of several apps from the V380 camera family. Its last update shipped back in 2022, and as of July 2026 its Google Play listing returns a 404. The developer has consolidated on V380 Pro, which is actively maintained, requires Android 7 or newer and carries tens of millions of installs. If your camera was set up with V380s, V380 Pro is the app to move to: add the camera with the same account or re-pair it once, and it behaves the same afterwards. Do not sideload old V380s APKs from mirror sites; an abandoned build of a camera app is a security liability, not a convenience.

The official way to get V380 on PC

Unusually for a budget camera brand, the vendor does publish a Windows program. The downloads page at v380camera.com, run by Guangzhou Hongshi Electronic Technology (the company behind the V380 brand), offers “V380 Windows” version 2.0.8 for 64-bit Windows 7, 8 and 10, delivered as a RAR archive. It is real, but set expectations: it is an old build, the vendor does not list Windows 11 support, and the interface is far rougher than the phone app. It covers the basics, logging into your account and viewing cameras on a big screen. If it refuses to run on your machine, fall back to the emulator route below.

Get V380 Windows client (v380camera.com)

For the phone app itself, the only source worth using is the official V380 Pro listing on Google Play.

Install V380 Pro on Windows with an emulator

The emulator route gives you the current app with all its features, which the 2.0.8 Windows client lacks:

  1. Install BlueStacks from bluestacks.com on Windows 10 or 11.
  2. Sign in to the Play Store inside BlueStacks and install V380 Pro from the official listing.
  3. Log in with your existing V380 account. Cameras bound to the account appear without re-pairing.
  4. Allow the app’s notification permission inside the emulator if you want motion alerts on the desktop.
  5. If live view lags, give BlueStacks 4 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM in its settings; a single V380 stream is light, multi-camera grids need the extra headroom.

Why the VLC and RTSP trick usually fails with V380

With many CCTV brands we recommend skipping apps entirely and opening the camera’s RTSP stream in VLC. V380 cameras are the exception: most models stream over the vendor’s own protocol and do not expose a standard RTSP feed, which is why the RTSP URLs floating around forums rarely connect. Unless your specific model documents RTSP or ONVIF support, plan around the two official routes above. For brands that do this better, see our CCTV camera apps for PC guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is V380s still available for download?

Not from Google Play; the listing is gone as of July 2026. The maintained replacement is V380 Pro from the same developer, and that is what you should run on both phone and PC.

Is there a V380 app for PC or laptop?

Yes, two options: the vendor’s V380 Windows client (version 2.0.8, 64-bit) from v380camera.com, or the full V380 Pro Android app inside BlueStacks. The emulator gives you the newer software; the native client is lighter on resources.

Does the V380 Windows client work on Windows 11?

The vendor only lists 64-bit Windows 7, 8 and 10 for version 2.0.8. It may run on Windows 11, but it is not documented, so if it misbehaves the supported answer is the emulator route.

Are V380s and V380 Pro the same app?

They came from the same developer and serve the same cameras, but they are separate apps. V380s is retired; V380 Pro is the one still receiving updates and the one new cameras pair with.

Verdict

The V380s era is over, and pages telling you to download the V380s APK are steering you into abandoned software. Use V380 Pro in BlueStacks if you want the modern app on a big screen, or the vendor’s Windows client if you just need a simple native viewer and your PC runs a supported Windows version. Owners of mixed camera setups can handle other brands the same way; see our guides to iCSee on PC and WiseView on PC.
