Why can't I stream or cast on an Android™ with Covenant Eyes?

Android™ devices running Android™ operating system 11 or 12 and using Covenant Eyes app version 5.20.6 or higher should be able to screencast.

Some streaming apps have built-in safety features to protect their copyrighted material from pirating. Their safety features may conflict with Covenant Eyes on some Android™ devices.

Covenant Eyes & Screencasting

The Covenant Eyes app uses the screencasting feature on Android™ to screen-capture activity across the device.

When a streaming app on an Android™ detects Covenant Eyes using screencasting, it may block its content to protect it from pirating.


Covenant Eyes is not blocking the streaming app: it's just a technical impasse.


Note: To protect their copyrighted material, some streaming apps may produce black screenshots on your email report or in the Activity Feed of the Victory app.
