Yes, this is possible. BUT the machine with the web browser must be in the same local network as the Android phone **and** there must be a running Plex Server within the **same** local network. This may not always yield the best A/V fidelity, though. I recommend to install the optional Plex Media Player and put it into full screen mode and use this instead of the web app. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/a/f/aff2fb77a26d887627bbdc4af4b2ab0a5408d133.png) ---

thanks but my PC connected to the TV is 32bit and there is no plex player for it. THis is the only thing that I don’t understand about makers/developers of Plex. Plex is really a good solution but just because of a missing player I don’t prefer paying for it. anyway, my android phone and the pc with chrome are on the same network. plex server is the same PC. but I couldn’T figure out how to play the selected movie on Chrome ? ---

Here's how you can set full screen as default, so when ever you open your browser, it opens in full screen by default. ---

thanks. this is useful. is there a way to make it for the second attached screen (hdmi port) I mean , the shortcut with plex shortcut should open in second monitor. I found this info: > **[r/techsupport - Chrome shortcut to open on a certain monitor](https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3idqo6/chrome_shortcut_to_open_on_a_certain_monitor/)** > > 0 votes and 3 comments so far on Reddit it basically suggests to add “–window-position=x,y” after the “Target” like “–window-position=1280,0” is there a better way ? ---
