Chromecast signage alternatives
Casting is convenient for sharing. Signage usually needs the TV to run independently after the person walks away.
Quick answer
Use casting for temporary sharing. Use an app-based TV workflow when the screen must stay live, recover, refresh, and run on its own.
Why Screen Keep fits
Screen Keep runs the URL on the TV device so the display behaves like signage instead of a casting session.

FAQ
Questions buyers usually ask.
Can I use Chromecast for digital signage?
Chromecast with Google TV can work if it can install the signage app. Cast-only workflows are weaker for unattended signage.

A cast session depends on another device, user session, network state, and manual recovery.
What should I use instead?
Use an Android TV or Google TV app workflow that runs directly on the screen device.
