I'm having to do all kinds of extra stuff to get say a monster to appear on my TV for my game and I think it is not far fetched to be able to Airplay/cast say a picture of a goblin directly from the DNDBeyond app monster manual. Is there something in the works for this? I don't do the VTT thing, but I do like to have the TV behind me to the side like a news caster to throw up images of things.
I doubt this is something the app could natively support due to the complexities of how smart device interactions work. I can only advise for android (specifically pixel) phones, but if you find an image you want to share, swipe up into task view and you'll be able to select the image to share. Then depending on your smart tv you'll be able to either quick share the image, send it to the TV, or save it to your photos app and cast it to the screen.
Expecting the app itself to be able to "one click share" assumes a level of standardisation across smart devices that simple does not (and likely will not) exist

I have an iPhone, but yeah I just did several steps to eventually save a copy of the image into my photos and then cast from there. Takes a good bit of time sadly.
