FoyerCast Manager runs on Mac. Remote control requires Manager to be running and reachable on the same local network. Player capabilities vary by device. Cached players can continue their downloaded content during a connection loss; future schedule changes require Manager. Live video and CaptionKit overlays are limited to Manager’s local output, and CaptionKit requires internet access. Background phone notifications are not included in this beta.
